Hah! He claims he didn't know!

This guy is SO dirty it's not funny.

The Associated Press has reported that Zeituni Onyango, a native of Kenya, has been living in Boston despite losing an appeal for asylum four years ago.

The Associated Press reported that Onyango had been instructed to leave the country four years ago by an immigration judge who rejected her request for asylum from her native Kenya. Onyango is living in public housing in Boston.

I honestly couldn't tell you what legal matters any of my aunts were involved in four years ago, nor do I know where half of them live.

Likely a loose end he could have easily tied up had he known. THROW AUNTIE UNDER THE BUS.

I've found many of the republican attacks quite idiotic throughout this campaign, but this one takes the cake. How does having an illegal alien aunt have any real reflection whatsoever on Obama?

Unless he actively encouraged her to break the law, then I don't see WTF this has to do with anything, I just don't see the correlation.

If people didn?t care about a killer and a racist, why would they care about an illegal? Associations have proven pointless to follow with the messiah.

How does that make Obama dirty? Unless his family is ridiculously close, I don't think a senator would be keeping tabs on his aunts, he does lead a fairly busy life. Let alone hear something regarding her status as a citizen...that's not exactly common dinner table talk. I'd think she would be too scared to tell anyone in the family that she didn't win the appeal.

Myself on the other hand....I have 3 aunts on my father's side, and 4 on my mother's side. I haven't talked to any of them from my father's side in a couple years, and that side of the family I'm pretty close with. On my mother's side, I haven't even met two of the four, and although I had Christmas with one of them last year, conversation and news was little more than current and discussion varied little from how everyone's day to day life was going.

That's what I'm trying to figure out. It just begs the question - 'So what?'

So auntie, long time no see! I know, it's been more than 9 years! How is the husband? The kids? Your immigration status?

Why are you looking at me like I'm crazy?

Should have demanded to see her green card before he decided to run for President imo.






Yes, I'm kidding.

What it shows is that Obama, who is a millionaire, is not interested in spreading his own wealth, but is more than happy to spread your wealth to help his family. :D

And you better be grateful for the privilege else he'll call you selfish.

If the Democrats felt it newsworthy to make a big stink over Joe the Plumber's first name being Samuel (middle name Joseph), that he doesn't have a plumbers license (which is not a requirement to being a plumber, only that your boss has a license), rummage through his trash, and dig through his tax records & child support records - then sure this *is* newsworthy.

It is then up to you to decide for yourself if it's relevant or not. A lack of information is far more dangerous than too much information.

I wasn't aware that Obama was using his aunt as a centerpiece of his campaign.

Really, I wasn't aware Obama's aunt thrust herself into the public spotlight like Joe?

Face it, this is weak "news". Again, why should you or I care if Obama has an aunt who was instructed to leave the country 4 years ago? And what does Obama having the money to help her out have to do with anything? So are you saying anyone who has money left every week after paying the bills is obligated to help extended family members? That would be news to a shitload of people if it is.

Edit: how the hell did my post get up here?

I wasn't aware that Joe the Plumber was McCain's centerpiece prior to October 11, 2008. (The day he asked the question)

All that happened before he became a part of the campaign.
