ALL IN THE FAMILY Senior aides to Sen. Barack Obama and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick were aware that Obama's aunt, Zeituni Onyango, was living in the United States illegally and in a South Boston public-housing project, and were monitoring her at the request of senior Obama campaign officials, according to a current employee for Obama's key political consulting firm, AKP&D Message and Media.
Back in early 2007, as Obama's chief campaign strategist David Axelrod was organizing and planning the Obama campaign, he identified Obama's unique family situation -- a number of half-brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, some living overseas -- as a potential problem, says an employee for Axelrod's political consulting firm, and who has done work on the Obama campaign. "Given [Obama's] father's family history here and in Africa, David wanted the campaign to know who was who, where they lived, and what they were doing. No surprises. We knew she was here illegally. We knew her income levels, but I don't think anyone from the campaign had had contact with her."

So axelrod knows where auntie is and he doesn’t tell obama?
Sure, I believe that. /s
Oh, sure, Aunt Zeituni was being well "taken care of" -- illegally in the USA, with Axelrod's knowledge (and how many others knew?) and at public expense!!!
The Mediascum should be screaming of Axelrod, Barack, and others: "WHAT DID YOU KNOW AND WHEN DID YOU KNOW IT?"
Amazing isn't it, how easily the Mediacum lose all of their investigative fervor when they are trying to protect their socialist fraud of a candidate all the way into the WH.....
btw, what kind of "family" does Obama have where he (supposedly) does not even know the whereabouts of one of his only aunts in the world for 4 years at a time????? I also come from a very international family, with cousins, aunts and uncles across 4 continents -- most of them I did not know at all growing up, and we are not especially close, but most certainly we all know where all of the others are living now, and never does a year go by without some contact.
Either Obama really does not give a S##T about the "family" that he found so useful for his books, or else he is LYING when he says he did not know his aunt was living illegally in Boston, MA.
Of course it’s just another Obama lie to add to the list. Too bad there’s nothing one can corroborate here. Kind of pointless, and I’m almost sorry I posted it. I do believe it, but there’s nothing in that report that would make any news outlet pick it up. Grrr.
Sooo, how many American citizens have been deprived of public housing while Obama’s illegal alien aunt hogs up the freebies meant for citizens?
Couldn’t that be grounds for a lawsuit of some kind?
They made (msm) their pathetic attempt yesterday to try to look objective.
a number of half-brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, some living overseas -- as a potential problem,
They automatically assumed potential problems? What kind of damage were they trying to contain? It's a little creepy that they paid people to go to such lengths to monitor and control these 'potential problems'.
