Onyango Obama, 67, who lost his regular license for 45 days last week, scored his limited license yesterday from the Registry’s Wilmington branch, after convincing a hearing officer that life without wheels would have posed an undue hardship on his livelihood as a liquor-store manager. Obama bolstered his case with a letter from his employer, Conti Liquors, as well as proof that he’d enrolled in an alcohol-treatment program.

Maybe a tree will jump out in front of him this time.

Uncle Obama?
Would that be like in Uncle Remus?
I don’t think so. I have more respect for Uncle Remus.

Isn't this guy an illegal resident?

There must be something about "illegal" that I don't understand.

Maybe he'll see a bridge abutment coming down the road and will pull over to let it go by.

Did you notice in the article the statement about “Secure Communities” which is an Agenda 21 trick. Sounds good, until you look at the details.

I don't remember last week being that long.

That sentence got me, too—I read it, and said huh!, then read it again—and gave up.

I still don’t know what the heck this article says...

"He met all of the criteria,” RMV spokeswoman Sara Lavoie said.

Of the state’s decision to award Obama a license even though the federal government considers him an illegal alien, Lavoie would only say, “Registry business is based on Registry records.”

I don’t recall Uncle Remus getting his license pulled for DUI.

Is Framingham, MA a sanctuary city? Shouldn’t the liquor store owner be charged with hiring illegal aliens??

“Is Framingham, MA a sanctuary city? Shouldn’t the liquor store owner be charged with hiring illegal aliens?”

Or maybe he will kill a mother and small child crossing the street. I just don't get it any more.
