Obama says he didn't know aunt's illegal status

[MAD-AS-HELL]

WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Saturday he didn't know that one of his relatives was living in the United States illegally and believes the appropriate laws should be followed.

The Associated Press found that Obama's aunt had been instructed to leave the country four years ago by an immigration judge who rejected her request for asylum from her native Kenya. The woman, Zeituni Onyango, is living in public housing in Boston and is the half-sister of Obama's late father.

She apparently made lots of small donations ($5 at a time, with a couple of $50 donations), which, of course, do add up after awhile. I have no idea what she used to make them, but she must have had some fake ID somewhere along the line.

Personally, I’m curious about what she’s living on. Is it illegally obtained Boston city welfare, or is it illegally obtained SSI? (She’s not old enough for regular illegally-obtained Social Security.)

and she is living in public housing....

why isn’t he redistributing his wealth and getting her out of there....

oh that’s right,
they will only redistribute your money not theirs

Steponallofus: "And, how is it that your Aunt Z was here all this time, attended your innaugural ceremony, lived on welfare, donated $260 t your campaign, and...?"

Obama: "Er, ah, eh..."

Steponallofus: "You didn't know."

Obama: "Uh, that's right, I didn't know."

He knew she was here he sated as much in his book.

She attended Obama's swearing-in to the U.S. Senate in 2004.

Onyango visited the family in Chicago on a tourist visa at Obama's invitation about nine years ago

he last heard from her about two years ago

Onyango contributed $260 to Obama

Onyango, who has lived quietly in public housing in South Boston for five years

It was not immediately clear how Onyango might have qualified for public housing with a standing deportation order.

Also she was invited to his 2004 swearing in and she originally came to Chicago 9 years ago on a Visa through Obama.

I haven’t checked the cable channels, is this story getting wide play?

Hussein: Why isn't the bus moving?

Driver: Since the media staff and your Aunt
are under the bus, I can't move it. It's burning
the clutch up!

“They can impeach him if they find out after he's elected but then we get a gaffe
Who's they? You mean the dem controlled congress? “
Sure! Then we get Biden, who than passes away from a brain aneurysm. Then we get Pelosi, who succumbs during plastic surgery. Then we get Sheets Byrd, who gets too excited and has a stroke, and passes away. Then, because of the turmoil, we get taken over by Mexico, and don't have to worry about it anymore!

"Our media has done nothing but fawn over this fraud and treated his claptrap, pish posh empty rhetoric as if he's a genius."

And, as he is already demonstrating, he will throw the media under the bus (UTB) as soon as he is finished using them to accomplish his goals.

Friends, the MSM has finally screwed the goose in America, and I call on everyone to make them pay, whether we win or lose.

For every person who bought and displayed an American flag after 9/11, I hope that they will cancel their subscriptions to all of the liberal rags, and subscribe to cable TV just so they don't have to watch the MSM networks.

The media has openly and blatently betrayed the public with its far leftist coverage and overwhelming alignment behind one candidate - obama.

They deserve to be boycotted and put out of business just for the abuse on Governor Palin, if nothing else. She and Joe the Plumber have been put through quite and ordeal, and it was all undeserved and an extension of the democrat modus operandi of trying to ruin and get ride of anyone they don't agree with, or who disagrees with them.

I'm afraid hollywood has glamourized reporters far beyond what they deserve. They snoop, and write gossip, lies and innuendo. They don't earn or deserve our trust.

We need to cut into that advertising dollar and cool down their onward march toward communism. The idiots do not know that they will be the first to go under communism.

“Onyango, who listed her employer as the Boston Housing Authority, gave in...”

???? Wonder if she really works there or just hand outs from the American taxpayer? If so..they were suppose to check her status before they hired her.

Typical..Obama won’t help his own poor family..but he will make sure we all do!!

(eye roll)

Damn that was a good video
Contrast that video with this bummer of a video chronicling the angry and depressed view of America from Michelle Obama.

Major garret just confirmed my thoughts. he quoted obama response to auntie immigration status. if she's illegal let the authorities do what is needed. Holy Hell is there anybody he wont trow under the bus? DISTURBING!!!!!!

[Elsiejay]

I believe they’re mostly half-Kenyans, or full Kenyans but half aunts, cousins, or whatever, due to multiple divorces/remarriages, etc.
Even the renowned Raila Odinga claims close cousinship with The One.

[Pinkbell]

Actually, he did admit he was wrong once. He said he was wrong for voting to save Terri Schaivo. What a fine man he is.

[Miss Didi]

I keep watching it over and over...and still have the Rocky theme music in my head. I’ve posted it on almost every thread and hope folks will view and pass along.

Meanwhile, in a related development, 950 reporters have been sent to find out if any of Joe the Plumber’s relatives ever received any speeding tickets.

Can Obama run out the clock? The truth always catches up with you.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Øbama doesn’t know jack does he?

He just knows he wants to change things. Or more accurately, his masters know they want to change things.

[Calpernia]

Auntie is also using subsidized housing. ACORN’s pet project.

That’s the problem with our media, every politician knows he can just Deny, Deny, Deny, and get away with it. Why? Because there are no follow ups, we need a journalist to stand up and ask probing follow ups that either force Barry to tell the truth or just make him look a lying jackal.
