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

Posted on 11/01/2008 8:33:43 AM PDT by 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.

"His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

He also doesn’t know how far he is going to have to come down on the income ladder to redistribute the wealth.

I have a parody song idea!

Instead of another one bites the dust:

Another one under the bus.

Another one under the bus.

Another one under the bus.

Come on, surely she had no reason for FOUR years to mention to her beloved nephew, “by the way a federal judge turned down my application for asylum”

The bus keeps rolling, even with all that mangled flesh clinging to the tires.

Jake Tapper has been of the few reporters to actually do a pretty balanced job. So wait a second, let me get this straight, Obama finds out his Aunt is living in Boston and he is not relieved to know she is alive, well, and healthy, albeit living in a slum.

How many of you know where each one of your Aunts lives??? Surely Obama will now fly to Boston, I mean where did Obama think she was living, did he know she was even alive, Obama should be thanking for the media for finding out information about his OWN family.

You can’t make this stuff up folks.

TOL is a Rupert Murdoch paper, yes? Good on them - I though Rupert was flaking out as of late but this is a good and timely scope! Here’s hoping it does some serious damage to Obumma’s image.

Sorry to be a nag but

“could care less” has the opposite meaning of “couldn’t care less,” which is what you’re going for. Just a major grammatical pet peeve of mine! :)

You’re right. And you’re not sorry to be a nag. All this going on and you notice a grammatical error. Okay.

He's either dumb as a rock or lying through his very expensive veneers!

“If he won’t take care of family how can he take care of his country?”


Your comment triggered a memorable quote by Michelle Obama made on the the campaign trail before they hid her away.

Michelle Obama said, “If you can’t run your own house, you can’t run the White House.”

Michelle made this comment during the primaries, and I believe it was directed at Hillary.

Michelle’s chickens are coming home to roost.

I have sympathy for his aunt. First, he never spares a dime to help her. Then, his arrogance leads him to run for president thus exposing her immigration status.

I hope Obama cares more about our country than he does about his family. If he doesn’t, we are doomed.

The list of people in Obama’s life whom it is politically expedient to “not know about” is really astonishing.

I wonder if the aunt feels the same as his grandmother did when Obama threw her under the bus?

What the American voting public DON’T know is that after this election the Space Aliens intend to cull you lot, based upon how you voted.

Love your comment, I've often thought that way; how do we look to an extra-terrestrial civilization? I would like to add, it won't be the Space Aliens who will 'cull you lot' - they know if 'you' vote for the wrong fellow he'll do the job for them.

The RNC needs to make an ad listing all the things 0bama has admitted to not knowing about, all set to the classic tune, “Don’t know much about history...”

Obama’s illegal aunt isn’t being reported on Foxnews.com, msnbc.com, news.google.com, and many others.

Has anyone heard about this on tv yet? I’ve not seen it reported yet, except on Drudge for crying out loud!
