Mitt Romney was more nuanced Thursday when questioned about radio show comments he made regarding deporting President Barack Obama's uncle.

According to The Hill, the former Massachusetts governor was asked by radio host Howie Carr if Onyango Obama, who is allegedly in violation of his immigration status and was arrested for drunk driving this summer, should be deported.

Why? Because the only person he’d deport happens to be a black man?

A GOP is not so grand, maybe senile and a party who choses candidates that can only pull about 1/4 the votes it needs to win a Presidential election. Leaving the other 3/4 frustrated and tired. Great formula. Lose and repeat.

Mitt basically stuck to his guns:

"Asked to clarify those comments in a press conference Thursday, Romney said his stance was not affected by the man's relationship to the president."

"I'm not suggesting that they should be given any more punitive treatment than anyone else, but that we should follow the law," he said about family members of government officials. "I don't know the circumstances of his uncle. If the circumstances would, under our law, mean he should be deported, then he should be treated like anyone else."

Talk about stupid! Mitt really takes the cake on this one. Regardless of the facts, he comes off as a Scrooge. At Christmas. On a really insignificant position that he really didn’t need to weigh in on.

And there's Auntie Zeituni........she hired a high price lawyer and was granted “asylum”.....

Auntie went after "asylum" b/c there is a big SS payout to those granted "asylum."

But asylum is usually granted to those who fear retribution in their home countries-----Auntie is well-connected back home AND her nephew is the US president. Not likely she's in danger.

........Auntie also admitted to Channel 4 last year that she was collecting welfare and living in public housing even as an illegal alien.

Auntie Zeituni.

Just another reason why obamao will be proclaimed "ruler-for-life" after he completes his 4th term..

No use whining...Get used to it or be a true American and die trying to derail or slow it!... IMHO, there is, no longer, any other realistic option.

We can thank the serfs who, for the past 30-years, have criminally abused their offspring by committing them to those government brainwashing asylums thereby guaranteeing frogs who giggle as the water gets hotter.

These idiot drones are the 99% that has pulled the voting levers for the likes of klintoon, al bore, blympia snow, scores of RINOs (Bush,Gingrich,Pawlenty,Romney and any other moron from MA, r&r paul, bonerhead,etc,etc,etc,), and, of course, the marxist who now rules with his elected & non-elected communist underlings.
