Obama’s Aunt Complains of Abuse in Autobiography
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 12 May 2012 | John Semmens

Posted on 05/12/2012 1:22:41 PM PDT by John Semmens

President Obama’s aunt Zeituni Onyango has recently published a memoir of her time in America. The book is titled Tears of Abuse. It alleges that her time in this country has been nothing but torment.

Residing in the United States illegally from 2002 until she was granted asylum by the Obama Administration in 2010, Zeituni’s book complains of the “shabby accommodations” and “meager sustenance” she was forced to suffer through while on public assistance during that period. “I had to live in public housing amidst an agglomeration of the common riffraff,” Zeituni wrote. “There was no one to prepare my meals. I was given food stamps and told I had to fetch my own food and cook my own meals. I felt humiliated.”

Obama’s aunt attributed her treatment to “America’s racist mindset. My nephew was an important figure in the government—first a state senator, later a US senator, and finally the president. Still, I was denied the status befitting someone whose family member was part of the ruling class. This wouldn’t have happened to me if I were white.”

Thus far, the book’s sales have been weak—a phenomenon Zeituni says further bolsters her case that she has “been the victim of racial discrimination from the first day I set foot in this God forsaken land.”

Some would say, correctly, that she was the abuser. She abused this system. She abused her relative’s power. Is she a citizen?

Typical racist rant. She needs to learn that there’s no such thing as a ruling class. Get off your black behind and work honey, whitey wasn’t put here to cater to you. What an a**hole.

LOL! You're complaining about your nephew ruler not making you rich enough (yet)? Fear not, your nephew hired your writer for you, and I'm sure there's a movie contract in your near future. In the meantime, the ruler's media division (aka the MSM) will do all it can to promote your book and boost your sales... which I'm sure you won't have to worry about paying taxes on.

Some would recognize satire. Others prefer to be outraged.

The victim card is definitely in the genes. A socialist democrat would get mad at the police for arresting them for robbing a bank. That’s how they operate.

I’d argue that it’s a moral issue. The example that you gave.

If it’s so bad, she should go back to the crap country she came from.

One of my favorite pastimes is reading the comments from the folks that think a satirical story is actually true.

Keep em coming.

Yeah, your family member isn't part of the "ruling class", lady. America doesn't have a ruling class - what we have is a political class. The members of this class keep forgetting that they are public servants who serve at our pleasure and depend on the rest of us being too busy and too divided to slap them down, but that doesn't make them a "ruling class" - it just makes them corrupt and very bad at their jobs.
