Barrack Obama’s aunt living in U.S. illegally in Public Housing

Barack Obama's Kenyan aunt has been living in public housing in Boston

Zeituni Onyango, 56, referred to as "Aunti Zeituni" in Obama's memoir, was instructed to leave the United States by a U.S. immigration judge.

Onyango's case — coming to light just days before the presidential election —led to an unusual nationwide directive within Immigrations and Customs Enforcement requiring any deportations prior to Tuesday's election to be approved at least at the level of ICE regional directors, the U.S. law enforcement official told the AP.

The unusual directive suggests that the Bush administration is sensitive to the political implications of Onyango's case coming to light so close to the election.

If they deport her now, it would be a landslide for Obama. Liberals, and Democrats already think republicans play dirty and are a bunch of cry babies, that would just be the icing on the cake, even if it is lawful. The Perception would kill the republican party for years to come.

 

Well that seals it. I'm not voting for Auntie Zeituni now.

 

Obama says he didn't know aunt's illegal status. I find that hard to believe.

"Senator Obama has no knowledge of her status but obviously believes that any and all appropriate laws be followed," according to a statement given to the AP by Obama's campaign.

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

According to Federal Election Commission documents filed by the Obama campaign, Onyango contributed $260 to Obama over a period of time. Under federal election law, only U.S. citizens or green-card holders are legally permitted to give money to campaigns. Onyango, who listed her employer as the Boston Housing Authority, gave in small increments to the Obama campaign. Her latest contribution was $5 on Sept. 19.

Bogart - You must be kidding bringing weak crap like that out... why should anyone care that a US Senator's aunt is here illegally, was supposed to be outta here almost 5 years ago per the US Immigration Department ruling, and somehow managed to get onto the government tit in public housing. Means nothing... this is Barack Obama you're dealing with after all. There's a perfectly valid reason for such things, and we'll be told what it is as soon as it is manufactured.

Now if it'd been Sarah Palin's relative you'd see it on major news channels 24/7, but remember, Barack has been fully vetted already.

 

*yawn*

Is this all the GOP hate machine has left?

 

ROFL. That's kinda what I just said. I've yet to figure out how he gained universal immunity from factors that if combined on any other politicians resume would be terminal... but right now if they found 4 partially eaten children in his refrigerator and a pygmy goat dressed in a gown chained to his bedpost, I suspect we'd get sanctimonious intonements from Keith Olberman about how Republicans are engaging in the unseemly politics of personal destruction by pointing it out.

 

So much for "I am my brother's keeper."

All talk, no action from Obama, as usual. He can't even take care of his own family, yet he wants to "lead" America with no experience?

No wonder McCain is climbing daily in the polls.

 

Obama can't even take care of his own family. Obama's brother is living in poverty in Kenya on $1 dollar a day.

George Hussein Onyango Obama, Senator Barack Obama's long lost brother was tracked down living in a hut on the outskirts of Nairobi


George Hussein Onyango Obama has only met his famous older brother twice - once when he was just five and the last time in 2006 when Senator Obama was on a tour of East Africa and visited Nairobi.

Barrack Obama mentions his brother in his autobiography, describing him in just one passing paragraph as a "beautiful boy with a rounded head".

From August bogart? Really?


I guess your throwing everything but the kitchen sink.....

 

The sister of Obama's father (who Obama only knew for ONE MONTH in his life) is supposedly a big story according to the lunatic fringe right wingers that seem to make up the core of the GOP these days. The only big thing about this story is that the Bush admin. illegally released this information to try and influence the election. Did we need anymore evidence that the same people that want to bring us McCain are the same people that brought us Bush?

Well... Here's even more evidence of just that: DICK CHENEY ENDORSES JOHN MCCAIN.

HA! Obama's lead is expanding in Gallup, Rasmussen, & R2000. The McCain campaign & it's supporters are cherry picking polls in their favor (and there aren't many of those to choose from.)

Gallup now has Obama up by 10 points in both of their Likely Voter models.

 

Yes, the fact that Obama's aunt has not been held to compliance with a court ruling, has broken election law, and is somehow not subject to the laws that would prohibit her from being eligible for public housing is a searing indictment of the GOP and George Bush specifically. I hope they are ashamed of themselves.

Good for Barak for not having a clue that any of this was going on. We knew there was a good explanation. He's been real busy the last 4 years, he probably never asked her how the hearing on her request for political asylum went. Lord knows she certainly wouldnt bring a subject like that up with her nephew who is just a US Senator.

 

Do you keep up with the day to day activities of all of your aunts & uncles? Particularly the sister of a father you barely knew? This is a ridiculous standard. What is going on with his aunt has NOTHING to do with Obama.

This is only another example of the disgusting dirty tricks of the GOP. They will do anything to win except for actually doing a good job in office.

Today's big story is not Obama's aunt he barely knows, it's DICK CHENEY, the horrible VP we all know who supports John McCain continuing his policies for another 4 years.

 

You're right... seeking political asylum to avoid extradition to a country torn by war is very similar to "day to day activities".

Subject probably just never came up during the 4 years she was here in defiance of a court order.

 

I personally have aunts and uncles I haven't talked to in over 10 years. I imagine many many MANY other Americans have similar stories. Particularly those with fathers they barely knew.

This is a non-starter dude. Try to fling something else at the wall. You are running out of time for your smears to work!

Meanwhile: DICK CHENEY ENDORSED JOHN MCCAIN.

 

Thats cool, and will come in handy if a discussion about YOUR aunts and uncles comes up. Meantime the one that attended his inaguration the same year she was denied asylum is the one that is under discussion. Guess it is POSSIBLE she didnt raise the issue with the her nephew the US Senator that she came into the country to see sworn in... at least that appears to be Obama's story.

What do you think Zib... you think she didnt bother to bring it up?

 

I don't believe that Obama didn't know about his aunts immigration status.

Obama is the guy that got her the tourist visa so that she could enter the US in the first place.

How did Obama's aunt get into public housing? Does Obama's aunt know anything about Obama's immigration status?

Every day more questions come up about Obama.

Obama writes books about his family and makes millions while his family lives in squalor or in public housing.

Charity starts at home.

 

Why don't they throw her out?

 

How do you deport the aunt of the democratic candidate for president?

 

I think it's a non-story from the despicable right wingers who will do anything to distract voters from the real issues.
