[MAD-AS-HELL]

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.

He never “We are our half-aunt’s keeper”, did he?

Is this getting any traction? I am working today. Is this the November surprise?

[R_Kangel]

Great guy.

Doesn't know anything about his circle of friends.

Doesn't even know anything about his own family.

[tomnbeverly]

Such a convenient excuse.... He knew she was here he sated as much in his book. So he cares so little about relatives that he listes in his memoirs but doesn’t even know her status? Auntie goes under the bus with Granny, brother, Friends, Pastor, mentors..

Pretty crowded under that bus.... I guess most Americans will be under there after next tuesday.

So I guess this never came up at the table on Thanksgiving...oh, she has never been invited. Gotcha!

[Brian S. Fitzgerald]

1/2 sister 1/2 brother 1/2 mother 1/2 father......quite a family heritage these 1/2 Hawians have

If BHO's not Kenyan, she's not his Aunt.

Original Birth Certificate ---> Father: "unknown"?

RUN AWAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. I guess the plan to not comment wasn’t going to make it to election day so they went with the Shrillary “I know nothing” routine.

This story is very revealing on so many levels. We should get this out to EVERYONE. It will not help with the party disciples and their religious beliefs. They already dismiss it as nothing.

But the normal person can see the hypocrisy of Obama and how deep it runs.

An illegal alien relative who lives in a public housing project and gives money to your campaign. Can it get anymore crazy.

Someone needs to bring this up and in relation Obama’s position on illegal alien drivers licenses, benefits and citizenship.

Oh they are:

Throw them whatever you can folks. And guarantee your voice is heard in the Battleground States.

Obama has 3 ways of dealing with a controversy
1. Play dumb
2. Deny
3. Invoke moral superiority

But he has never admitted that he was wrong about anything. The closest he has come is admitting to acting ‘boneheaded.’ But because he did not know.

Uh oh!!!! his prompter was not on, somebody better get him plugged back in.

It took the TIMES OF LONDON to dig this story up. It was an Italian Newsweekly that found Obama’s poor brother. Our media has done nothing but fawn over this fraud and treated his claptrap, pish posh empty rhetoric as if he's a genius.

[aroostook war]

That’s not the Aunt Gooniegoogoo that I knew...

That made me LOL!!!!!!!

[tioga]

obama wants the law followed? yeah, cause then she’ll be deported instead of hustling him for money....she was a fool not to get herself to Chicago and move in that mansion of his while she could.

[ConservativeMan55]

LOL!

Post of the day.. maybe the year.

[tobyhill]

****She attended Obama’s swearing-in to the U.S. Senate in 2004, but campaign officials said Obama provided no assistance in getting her a tourist visa and doesn't know the details of her stay.****

More BS. There's no way he didn't know. No one can get here on a tourist visa, attend a political event then walk to another city and get public housing without inside help.

[gipper81]

Never in the rest of my life did I imagine we would have a presidential candidate who makes Bill Clinton look like a saint!

Yeah, but, the two terms of the Clinton administration still holds the world record for members of that administration responding to congressional questions with: "... i don't know, and i don't remember jack sh**, (sir/madam)"

[Miss Didi]

Fabulous video...please view and pass along. Stand up and fight!

We the People - McCain "Fight with Me"

[SelmaLee]

Well, someone in his campaign must have known about her. Who told her that she “couldn’t talk about him” until after November 4th?

[tomnbeverly]

But, but, but, He is CLEAN.... and ARTICULATE.... I guess thats all America requires from its Presidents...

Get ready for a five hour episode of “This is Your Life.”

[OneWingedShark]

That’s because he keeps strutting about with his head firmly up his @$$ and can’t be bothered with little things like, you know, reality or other people.
