Gee, I may have just figgered out why Obama didn't sponsor the aunt.

From this link, FWIW....

Is an immigration sponsor responsible for immigrant beneficiary receiving federal assistance

The statute regarding the Affidavit of Support, Form I-864, states clearly that in order for an alien to immigrate through a family-based petition, and some employment-based petitions, they must overcome the public charge ground of inadmissibility. Therefore, the petitioner on the Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, must execute and submit a legally enforceable Affidavit of Support on Form I-864. The second paragraph of the instructions to Form I-864, advises the sponsor that by executing the form he or she is agreeing "to support the intending immigrant and any spouse and/or children immigrating with him or her" until the contract terminates. In cases where the Affidavit is executed by a spouse, even divorce does not terminate the obligation." Part 7 of Form I-864 states: "The sponsor must provide the sponsored immigrant(s) whatever support is necessary to maintain them at an income that is at least 125 percent of the Federal poverty income guidelines."

Yes, that would certainly explain why Obama didn’t want to sponsor her. He’s for sharing everybody’s wealth but his own.

However, I’m curious as to why she lost her asylum petition. Remember that this would have been around the time that Obama was involved with Odinga, and I would imagine this woman is also an Odinga relative (since Raila Odinga is Obama’s cousin). Did that mean that she was considered one of the aggressors, and hence not somebody who needed asylum? Remember, the entire Obama family in Kenya is very involved in Marxism and extreme left violent politics, and are followers of their local messiah, Odinga.
