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.

I bet she was registered to vote too!Zeituni Onyango,
These are not the droids you’re looking for...
Yeah, as soon as they find out who owns the post office box in Syria where it came from.
I bet she was registered to vote too!
I bet she was registered to vote too!
How bout spread your wealth around Obama and give her a couple thousand bucks to live off of?
Wow! The WaPo really stays on top of the news.
It’s crack, investigative reporters fresh off the case of Joe the Plummer have noticed that the Associated Press has noticed that the London Times has uncovered an illegal alien in Boston living on public assistance and illegally contributing to her nephew’s campaign for President.
That’s the first person ever living in subsidized housing who is able come up with $265 all at once. The ones I know wouldn’t have that money never mind be able to give it away!
Obama has “High Hopes”
Obama had an illegal aunt
Living off of government grants
Obama knows his aunt cant
Live without those grants
But shell help him buy votes
Shell help him buy votes
Send him three hundred bucks
To help him buy votes
But if on Election Day
Things dont go his way
Theyll deport his old aunt
Whoops there goes Obamas illegal aunt
So this puts the Obama story that he has teams of lawyers reviewing his campaign donations for irregularities as one giant lie.
This woman is a foreigner illegally contributing to Obama’s presidential campaign and it was not detected.
How many other millions of dollars have come from overseas as well and not returned by the Obama campaign?
The press is curiously unconcerned.
Compared to Obama’s half brother’s income ($12 a year), this aunt is living the good life!
bttt
Although this whole story is small pototoes compared to Barry’s creepy connections to Marxists and terrorists, I actually think it is something that might resonate with the electorate, in these final, waning hours before everyone goes into the booths. It should make many folks in the mushy-middle pause and wonder “what the hell do we REALLY know about this Obama guy?”
According to the comments in the Washington Post article, these "crack lawyers" didn't detect even the most blatantly bogus donations:
Interesting that they are returning Aunties contributions. After hearing that Obama had turned off the Credit Card Verification System I decided to find out for myself. I made a contribution in the name of Adolfe Hitler, #1 Reichstag Building, Berlin, Germany about a week ago. Not only did they accept my contribution they have sent me daily emails addressed to Adolfe asking him to join them on election night in Chicago and to walk the precincts and make calls on behalf of Obama.

Actually, it’s even more pathetic than that...she gave small $5 donations like once a week or something. Seems the illegal aunt has better family values than her nephew. Maybe he figured a few glowing lines of praise in his book was worth more than anything money could buy.

Someone need to file a complaint with the FEC over this illegal campaign donation and the millions more the Obama campaign has been accepting from foreign citizens.
Also we shoud report dear auntie to Michael Chertoff.
Report Illegal Aliens Public Tip Line 1-866-DHS-2ICE
Is the Boston Housing Authority evicting dear auntie this weekend, inquiring minds want to know.
Isn’t making a illegal campaign donation by an illegal alien a felony? That alone should cause her expedited removal from the United States since it’s not a administrative charge of being illegally in the country as the left loves to profess of our immigration laws.
That’s a pattern in an OSSABAMA fantasmatic world...Foreigners granted in USA and trying to buy the country/elections...
Wake up it was a nightmare!
just reported on CNN. (flipping around looking for football)
ooops, Could have been MSNBC it was Norah O”donnell. Sorry
Has she voted yet?
