You might have something there. The news of illegal uncle's arrest gets out and first thing his advisors tell him is to get back to the white hut and make like he's presidential. Omar was arrested on Wednesday, the 24th and Hussein came back on Friday, the 26th. Yep, Irene sounded like a lame excuse from the first and that's probably why he gave that speech. It smelled at the time since nothing comes between that clan and a vacation.
