President Obama acknowledges having lived with his uncle
Boston Globe ^

Posted on 12/05/2013 6:21:29 PM PST by shineon

President Obama acknowledged on Thursday that he lived with his Kenyan uncle for a brief period in the 1980s while preparing to attend Harvard Law School, contradicting a statement more than a year ago that the White House had no record of the two ever meeting.

Their relationship came into question on Tuesday at the deportation hearing of his uncle, Onyango Obama, in Boston immigration court. His uncle had lived in the United States illegally since the 1970s and revealed in testimony for the first time that his famous nephew had stayed at his Cambridge apartment for about three weeks. At the time, Onyango Obama was here illegally and fighting deportation.

On Thursday, a White House official said the press office had not fully researched the relationship between the president and his uncle before telling the Globe that they had no record of the two meeting. This time, the press office asked the president directly, which they had not done in 2011.

“The president first met Omar Obama when he moved to Cambridge for law school,” said White House spokesman Eric Schultz. “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.”

Maybe he left his birth certificate at his illegal alien uncle’s house.

If somebody asked me about my boss's relationship with his uncle, I would definitely tell them unequivocally that he never met his uncle.

A year or two later, I would go back and ask him if I answered that question correctly.

"The 0bamas"

Endless sitcom possibilities. Their next door neighbors could be the Clintons in a rusted out single wide with expired Arky white trash plates...

That is obstruction of justice. He must be removed from office. Nixon did less than this communist.

Don’t forget the Clinton-Mezvinskys with their new 10m digs in Manhattan. Their downstairs neighbor Nascar racer Jeff Gordon could make a guest appearance.

Although he has a vast number of relatives living near Lake Victoria in western Kenya, many know nothing of him. He has never met his famous nephew, according to the White House.

Hey White House, this is the Boston Globe. Has President Obama ever met his Uncle?

“Nah”

“Ok - Thanks”

What Nixon did is nothing compared with Hussein's malfeasances.

He said he went on to earn a degree in philosophy from Boston University, but the university would not confirm that.

In other words, Boston U. doesn't want to admit that they allow illegals to matriculate.

It sounds like the premise for a Tyler Perry Madea movie.

Stays with uncle until he can get out, graduates from Harvard and forgets about his uncle....but expects taxpayers to fund his uncle despite being a millionaire himself.

What a guy!
