December 05, 2013, 02:12 pm WH admits Obama briefly stayed with uncle
By Mario Trujillo
The White House confirmed on Thursday President Obama had met his uncle, Onyango Obama, who was granted legal residency to the country this week reversing a previous statement.
The White House had previously told The Boston Globe that the president had never met his uncle, after Onyango referred to as Omar was arrested in 2011 for drunk driving.
But it revised its statement on Thursday, saying the press office had not actually asked the president about his relationship with his uncle before talking to the Globe in 2011.
The president first met Omar Obama when he moved to Cambridge for law school, White House spokesman Eric Schultz told the Globe.
The president did stay with him for a brief period of time until his apartment was ready. After that, they saw each other once every few months, but after law school they fell out of touch. The president has not seen him in 20 years, has not spoken with him in 10.
Obamas uncle, who had been living in the country illegally for nearly 40 years, told a deportation hearing on Wednesday that Obama briefly stayed with him at his apartment during college.
The White House maintained that the deportation case was processed without interference, according to the Globe.
President Obamas aunt was also granted asylum in 2010 by the same judge.
Total. Melt. Down.
You'd never hear the end of it. Every news outlet in the world would be screaming about it at the top of their lungs. It would knock every other story right off the front pages.
Every comedy show on television would make it their centerpiece. Every comic would build their monolog around it.
Allusions to it would show up in movies, in songs, on Broadway.
It would be a lie that would be tied around the Republican President's neck. And his VP, and his wife, and any Republican that came after him. It would be "potatoe" times a thousand.
The press wouldn't be satisfied with the story as is.
They'd be tracking down roommates, neighbors, delivery men, the telephone guy, the cable guy, the landlord, the guy who fixed their furnace.
But because it's Obama... oh, well. Every president lies. Lies are a good thing.
Paging Dan Rather.
An old friend of mine grew up in Honolulu and went to high school with Obama. He was known as “Barry Obama” back then.
A consummate LIAR that should be removed from office as soon as possible!
I wonder if any other POTUS has had an uncle who was in this country illegally?
It won’t be long, now. Obama will admit he is an immigrant and naturalized as a U.S. Citizen in 1983.
Probably his Dutch uncle.
I choose to believe that they both lie ... all the time.
BHO (in June,2011): Tell them that I never met him.
WH Press Office: He never met this guy who claims he is his uncle.
WH Press Office (Dec '13): um ... mr. sir ... the press is reporting from a deportation hearing that you lived with the uncle you didn't meet.
BHO: How dare you interrupt me so impertinently.
WH Press Office: Oh, we are VERY sorry mr. sir.
BHO: I don't care what you tell them. I have more 'flexibility' now.
WH Press Office: um ... he we misspoke; we never really asked him about his uncle and whether he knew him, lived with him ... you know, whatever.
smitten DNC-run propaganda arm sycophant U.S. 'media': Really, at this point in time ... What difference does it make anyway?
He just forgot. Yeh, thats the ticket.
This is Leadership? *sigh* He’d like us to believe that his leadership is such that his own staff doesn’t bother to ask him about his contacts with his relatives? Riggghhhtttt. Well maybe he’d gone a few days without lying and he just had to let it out.
LOL! What difference, at this point, does it make?
No, he didn’t fib. He lied.
Liars lie.
Like “Papa John” Phillips, Barry’s memory is just a tad foggy, doubtless due to the influence of mind-altering substances....
John often used to tell the story behind “Me and My Uncle.” Years ago he began receiving publishing royalties from a song on a Judy Collins record with which he was unfamiliar. It was titled “Me and My Uncle”. He called Judy to let her know of the mistake because he hadn’t written any such song. She laughed and told him that about a year before, in Arizona after one of her concerts, they had a ‘Tequila Night’ back at the hotel with Stephen Stills, Neil Young and a few others. They were running a blank cassette and John proceeded to write “Me and My Uncle” on the spot. The next day, John woke up to the tequila sunrise with no recollection of the songwriting incident. Judy kept the cassette from that evening and then, without informing John, recorded the song for her own record. Over the years the song was recorded by several people, and eventually became a standard of the Grateful Dead. John used to joke that, little by little, with each royalty check, the memory of writing the song would come back to him.

And like Papa John, Barrys memory comes back to him the more he hears about “Him and His Uncle”.
Obama has a certain Ayer about him.
Give the boy a break. When your whole life is a lie, it’s difficult to keep it all straight.
No one told him he met him, he had to read about it in the paper like everyone else.
