WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Saturday he didn't know that one of his relatives was living in the United States illegally and believes the appropriate laws should be followed.
The Associated Press found that Obama's aunt had been instructed to leave the country four years ago by an immigration judge who rejected her request for asylum from her native Kenya. The woman, Zeituni Onyango, is living in public housing in Boston and is the half-sister of Obama's late father.

If he won’t take care of family how can he take care of his country?
You can’t make this stuff up...its like bizarro world.
Exactly! WTF does he know? He’s a skinny half black Sargent Schultz!
Because propagandists propping up this lightweight-collecitivist-con-artist said so. /sarcasm
The AP story here says that she also gave illegally to his campaign!

Just another hypocrite politician who as he runs to the center says we need to take care of our families and take responsibility. Then in practice, he leaves all that to the government.
More infuriating, he exaggerates his attachment and admiration of this Auntie in his book. A book that makes him good money. And so far there is NO indication he spared any of that to help her.
If I had an Aunt I deeply admired who was seeking asylum from another country here in the USA, I’d try to help out as best as possible. No sign of that from Senator Obama. Maybe all his talk about “selfish people” lately is some guilt seeping through...
That’s not the Aunt Gooniegoogoo that I knew...
“NObama has spent his life making Marxists, leftists and America-haters his surrogate family, while turning his nose up to the welfare of his real family”
Why not, he’s got you and I to pay for his family, legally or not! This guy gets in we’ll have the entire country of Kenya here supporting them. Maybe that was the idea to start with.
The question in my mind is whether BHO, himself, is living here legally.
Knew this was coming. And the MSM will not ask any further questions. Done.
Who Is David Axelrod – Obama’s Political Advisor?
March 5, 2008 – Political strategist David Axelrod is Senator Barack Obama’s key political advisor and speech writer.
Axelrod has previously worked on the campaigns of numerous liberals, including Deval Patrick, current governor of Massachusetts
“Sen. Obama and I are long-time friends and allies. We often share ideas about politics, policy and language.” – Deval Patrick
Looks like obama will throw anybody under the bus, or off the plane, to get elected.
Auntie Z goes UTB.
Never in the rest of my life did I imagine we would have a presidential candidate who makes Bill Clinton look like a saint!
Hmmm, he knows Joe the Plumber’s blood type and middle school grades but doesn’t know his Auntie is an illegal alien, scamming the taxpayers by living in public housing?
I agree.
For a man that wants to be President his own private life is a complete mystery to him. Doesn’t know his neighbors, doesn’t know that his preacher is a genocidal racist, doesn’t know his kin folk are illegals.
Nothing increases the people’s faith in politicians like transparent lying.
Because that's what all of us taxpayers are for. Obama wants to take our income and redistribute it to her, and millions of others who ignore and defy our country's laws.
What a lying, hypocritical, socialist piece of crap he is.
