A top advisor to Barack Obama on Saturday shrugged off the potential impact of a report that one of the Democratic nominee's Kenyan aunts is an illegal immigrant living in Boston.
"I think people are suspicious about stories that surface in the last 72 hours of a campaign, and they're going to put it in that context," said David Axelrod, Obama's chief strategist.

I am going to be INCREDIBLY disapointed if this guy winds up getting elected without ever being fully vetted or having his lies challenged by the press. Scratch that, not dissapointed, LIVID.
Yep there is no money so obama will take yours.
Somehow I knew this wouldn’t go anywhere. Bama denies any knowledge and the MSM just takes him at his word....no follow-up. Nothing seems to matter with this guy.
Obama is a liar! He knew she was living in Boston and he had to have known she wasn't legal. Obama initially brought her here to attend his Swearing In Ceremony so how many times between the ceremony and “2 years ago” did Obama talk to her? Didn't he notice the caller ID?
I agree that John McCain should not touch this with a ten-foot pole. But you know, there are those who continue to drink the Kool-Aid and don’t care what is said about Obama.
Reagan would of, but McCain is no Reagan.
Just maybe the reason that Obama is ignoring his Kenyan auntie and his Kenyan half brudder is, in fact, they ain’t his real half blood relatives and Mr 0 discovered this a few years ago. Assuming Mr 0 was born in Hawaii, I can see no reason for him to be so secretive about his birth records other than he ain’t the biological son of Barack H. Obama Jr.
I hope at least someone there is checking to see if she’s registered to vote.....it’s my guess she is.
“”I think people are suspicious about stories that surface in the last 72 hours of a campaign, and they’re going to put it in that context,”
Lol. Suspicious of the truth? I don’t think so, but keep trying to sail that one, Axelrod. lol
You know he lies, I know he lies....but MSM won’t report on it. I fear that between the Obama campaign and ALL his auxilliary organizations like the media, unions, community organizers, public school teachers, Hollywood, university faculty, black pastors, etc., we are being overwhelmed.
Even if he really didn’t know of her immigration status, Obama STILL looks bad to anyone who spends a minute thinking about this (I fear that’s too few people.)
His aunt, whom he wrote about lovingly in a book that helped bring him wealth, is living on taxpayer money with very low income. He admittedly KNEW she was there.
What a jerk and a hypocrite. None of those words he preached about taking care of your own family were sincere. They were JUST WORDS. Meanwhile, the McCains are adoptive parents and give a lot of money to charity.
Maybe all that Obama talk about “selfish Americans” is projection from his guilty conscience?
If Obama knew she was illegal, I’d have thought he’d use his influence as a senator to help her remain in the US legally, if for no other reason than to avoid the embarrassment.
I hope he does it, but it's too close to the election to shine the light on Obama for not caring squat about his "favorite" aunt.
The man is a fraud, and I hope that I will be around to see the day when this man’s mask is torn away, to reveal to the nation, what a nasty fraudulent character he truly is.
He sucks!
Remember a few years back when several judges dropped out of the appointment process because they paid some household help off the books? It became known as the “Zoe Baird” problem. Shouldn’t having your illegal alien relative aunt living in taxpayer supported housing be much worse?
And they thought Reagan was teflon coated!
