Obama Campaign to Return Aunt's Donations
Updated 1:01 p.m. By Matthew Mosk The campaign of Sen. Barack Obama will refund a small number of contributions made by Obama's aunt, who has been living in the United States illegally, according to a published report.
The woman, Zeituni Onyango, lives in public housing in Boston and is the half-sister of Obama's late father.
The Associated Press reported today 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.
Obama campaign reports filed with the Federal Election Commission show Onyango gave $265 to the campaign. Foreign nationals are not permitted to donate to American presidential campaigns.

Ya just can’t make this stuff up. This is the perfect time for Obama’s family background and other personal relationships to come to light. Where have our nations “journalists” been? Now all we need is for the LAT to come clean.
McCain/Palin 2008!
He is so generous to old Auntie.
Let’s see, do I remember this correctly, McCain has an aunt who lives in one of his seven houses, right? Ok, and Obama has an aunt in a slum, that he’s giving $265 of her own money and shipping back to Kenya ASAP.
What did Obama say about a man who takes care of family again?
Try running the address for registered voters.
What a great country we have... U S of KKK A !
$265 from someone on public assistance seems like a lot..
Smart money says Obama used his aunt’s name for a donation from someone else.
I would not call it donating, it literally is a redistribution of our wealth!!!
He said that Republicans are "selfish" for resisting higher taxes, and that govt. will take care of everyone once they have control of all of our income.
Pre-paid credit card?
His aunt is poor - isn’t there some concern that this “donation” was made in her name without her knowledge?
Hey Obama, your dear aunties illegal campaign contribution needs to be returned to the taxpayers of the United States since it appears she’s scamming welfare from “we” the taxpayers.
Obviously, auntie is not reporting illegal income to Welfare Housing authorities in Boston, instead she’s funneling our money to you.
It’s the taxpayers money, give it back to us and quit trying to “Spread The Wealth” of all of us “Joe the Plumbers” and “Tito the Builders. One last thing, call Michael Chertoff and tell him she needs to be deported ASAP!
How many other foreign citizens have contributed to your road show with un-traceable cash credit cards as reported by the Washington Post? It seems someone has not been vetting their campaign contributions as diligently as John McCain.
This is the ultimate in compassion and irony. BO cannot support his aunt who is living in a slum in Boston, yet she can somehow find a way to financially support him probably way beyond her means. True love.
LOL!
yeah....:)
Wow, think about it. People illegally living on public assistance, then funneling it back to Obama as a way of laundering money - now that’s interesting...
Isn’t it just too weird how O knows nothing about his associations and plays shocked and has the nerve to say he can be our commander in chief when he always is dumb at the most inopportune times.
Wasn’t there some porn flick having to do with a figure named “O” about a few decades ago? If we don’t call him Emperor or King Barry if he is elected, we should call him “O”
Yes and he also said something in an interview about going to visit his Grandmother about judging someone by how they take care of their family. I can’t find the quote though.
I say he should be forced to “spread the wealth around” to McCain’s campaign. All of that money in his coffers just isn’t fair.
She used her work address when making the contribution. Wonder why that was.
“This is not the Kenyan aunt I knew....”
