'Auntiegate' hits Obama
Times of India ^ | 11/2/08 | staff

WASHINGTON: With the White House seemingly within grasp, Barack Obama was rocked on Saturday by news that he has an African aunt living ''illegally'' in the United States and that she may have made a small but unlawful contribution to his presidential campaign.

The story doesn't appear to be a major roadblock to Obama's drive to the White House, but the conservative media broke into a feeding frenzy over the weekend after the 'scoop' was first reported in the Rupert Murdoch-owned Times of London and latched on to by other right-wing properties such as Fox and other media outlets. Obama quickly issued a statement on Saturday morning following a flurry of stories saying he did not know that one of his relatives was living in the US illegally.

It irritates me to no end when foreign newspapers put quotations around the word illegal with respect to citizenship. It gives the impression that foreign countries think they have a "right" to live here without entering via proper channels.

I hate it but this one too gets nowhere.
People that have decided for the big O dickweed are determined to ignore anything detracting from his messiahship.
Way too many to enumerate.
Example/samples: Distant Aunt in Boston
Half bro in Kenya
Kenyans in Kenya
Crucify Joe
Bust West and her station
Diss the Hillary.
And how’s grandma doin’ Huh???

As I recall it was a UK paper that first found her and published the story:

Joe the Plumber is an American. Kampfgruppe Obama didn’t seem to see any problem with the leaking of all of Joe’s private information.

I didn’t notice any great excitement about this in “conservative websites.” Sure, it’s typical that Obama would have a illegal alien aunt living in state subsidized housing, no dnoubt at the behest of his pal Deval Patrick. But there are about a hundred worse problems with Obama than this.

Where’s your birth certificate, Barry? Or your Communist Party card?

Not to worry. If Obama gets elected, he’ll have her living in the White House.

‘Twas the night before elections
And all through the town
Tempers were flaring
Emotions all up and down!

I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap
Had cut off the TV
Tired of political crap.

When all of a sudden
There arose such a noise
I peered out of my window
Saw Obama and his boys

They had come for my wallet
They wanted my pay
To give to the others
Who had not worked a day!

He snatched up my money
And quick as a wink
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink

He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!

” On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, On Pelosi”
He screamed at the pairs!

They took off for his cause
And as he flew out of sight
I heard him laugh at the nation
Who wouldn’t stand up and fight!

So I leave you to think
On this one final note-
IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM
GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!
