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.

He didn’t know his aunt was living here and now this? hmm.

I did a name search on ZabaSearch and got immediate information on her...includes her phone number. Appears Hussein isn't even basic internet search literate.

That $265 doesn’t belong to her if she’s been illegally using our money to live off of.

How about paying back the taxpayers for the 4 years she's been mooching off of.

“I would not call it donating, it literally is a redistribution of our wealth!!! “

Absolutely. Obama (and his relatives) is where he is on OUR money.

The way his “family” is he probably has hundreds of aunts. Illegal, illegitimate, whatever you call it.

“I bet she was registered to vote too!”

We will probably have to await the work of journalists in the Hong Kong, Taiwan or the UK again to find out this information.

It’s the globalization of news that our news folk won’t do, don’t ya know.

Obama is trying to run away from this faster than a speeding bullet. I hope it catches him.

Reading the comments at the WAPO you can practically hear the Obama disciples screaming how this doesn’t matter. They are desperately attacking McCain for crashing and all kinds of loony stuff.

Nothing can detract them from their messiah.

I flipped the dial on CNN and PMSNBC. You would not even think this is an issue on any level. If it was a Republican, you know the “illegalities” would be discussed for HOURS!

Funny in the WAPO story how they couldn’t bear to use the word illegal in a foreigner giving money to the Obama campaign.

Gee everything about this woman is illegal. Of course until she can get a full pardon and a new home late January.

If the media has its way.

How come Boston Auntie doesn’t sent money to Obama’s $12 a year brother in Africa?

“His aunt is poor - isn’t there some concern that this “donation” was made in her name without her knowledge?’

That would be a story. If it was a Republican. So never mind.

We are all making the assumption that Zeituni Onyango is really his AUNT. After all, no one is really sure who Obama’s father is since Obie hasn’t coughed up any valid documents of his birth.

This is why Obie could care less about his half-brother living in a hut or his aunt living in the slums. The only person he is sure about is his maternal grandmother.

Its late in the game to be finding out all these “facts” but hopefully people are going to be paying close attention. Its a long ways back for McCain and the MSM in in the tank for Obie, but four days can be an eternity in politics.

Maybe she thought she was bribing him to make her legal.

You know, we are paying tax dollars to provide public housing for AMERICANS, not for people who are in the country illegally. With all due respect to “Aunt Zeituni’s” situation, she shouldn’t be living in a housing project. Obama should put her up in his Chicago mansion.

“I wonder what George F. Will is thinking?”

He’s thinking the public should pay more in taxes, so we can keep more illegal aliens in public housing.

Four years ago she was ordered to be deported. So why is she still here hiding in plain sight, and on the dole? How can this be? A rhetorical question,,,I don’t expect an answer. She only has to wait a little while longer, when O, Peskusi, and Roid give all 12 million illegals amnesty, then citizenship. Hang in there auntie, your lucky day is coming!

This week’s revelations:

a) Auntie’s an ICE-designated fugitive alien and a federal felon

b) Øbama’s strange trip to “see Grandma” was likely a coverup for his fake “live birth certificate”

c) New taxes only to THE RICH making $250K.... ummm .... $120K.... errr..... $97K

d) Goodies from Øbama will have to be “scaled back” from the lies of the last 1 1/2 years

e) Øbama pal and mentor Bill Ayers advocated a purge of 25 million American citizens, just like Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot
