BOSTON (CBS) – An illegal immigrant from Kenya who was arrested for drunk driving in Framingham recently is reportedly an uncle of President Barack Obama.

67-year-old Onyango Obama was arrested last Wednesday, August 24 after police say he nearly ran his SUV into a police cruiser and later failed several sobriety tests.

According to the MetroWest Daily News, he pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Thursday, but he was ordered held without bail because there is a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement warrant for his arrest.

The federal agency has previously ordered him to be deported back to Kenya.

According to a report Monday in the Australian, Obama is the uncle of the president.

Here is an excerpt from that article:

The (London) Times has established from his birthdate that Mr Obama is the Uncle Omar mentioned in President Obama’s best-selling memoir Dreams from My Father. In the 1995 book, President Obama writes of “the uncle who had left for America 25 years ago and had never come back”.

In 2008, The Times mounted a search for Uncle Omar. Instead of finding him, we discovered his sister, President Obama’s Auntie Zeituni, who was living as an illegal immigrant on a Boston housing estate. Uncle Omar and Auntie Zeituni are the children of President Obama’s grandfather Hussein Onyango Obama, by his third wife Sarah, the woman President Obama calls “Granny”, because she raised his father, Barack Sr, who was Hussein Obama’s son by Hussein’s second wife, Akumu.

The paper said Onyango Obama is represented by Margaret Wong, the same Cleveland-based attorney who helped Zeituni Onyango get asylum in the United States last year.

Zeituni lived for years illegally in South Boston. She told WBZ-TV in September 2010 after being granted asylum that the United States has an “obligation” to grant her citizenship.

Yes folks CBS, onetime home of Dan "Fake, But Accurate" Rather in Boston picks up the B0 unc story!

>>the woman President Obama calls “Granny”

[television is just wrong]

[raccoonradio]

Howie list ping. Even big media like CBS picks the story up!

[the invisib1e hand]

is anyone in the obama family allowed to be in the US legally, including the president himself?

[TexasFreeper2009]

I clicked on the link, and got a “Page Not Found.”

I guess it didn’t take long for the powers that be to pull it.

[raccoonradio]

Not only that, this was “front page news” when I went to the CBS Boston page. Front page (internet) as it were!

[television is just wrong]

apparently a lot.

If only to reiterate what bigots we are who criticize an undocumented person for endangering actual citizens.

[forgotten man]

In Californian illegal aliens arrested for drunk driving are routinely deported. Let’s see what happens in this case.

[raccoonradio]

Try this. When you go to the main CBS Boston page it has a pic of the Prez and the headline: Obama: Uncle arrested?
I clicked on it and got the following link, which goes to that page.

Unbelievable that the best our news media can do is to quote UK and Australian papers because they can’t report what is happening on the ground 20 miles away!

[raccoonradio]

That second link should work if the first one doesn't. Here's a sceenshot of the second link.

[blackdog]

Let me be so bold as to guess that this relative is on public assistance as well..............?

[raccoonradio]

ha! It’s fun to see a big lefty org like CBS pick this up.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

if he can afford to spend $50k for a WEEK’s vacation..

He didn't pay for it, you and I did.

In some weird, free association way, this all makes me think of Billy Carter.

[urtax$@work]

Well said !!

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Off topic but he looks like a joke with that nameplate in front of him and his title. Kind of like when he had the fake sign on the podium, ‘Office of the President-Elect’.

Anything to look important and knowledgeable. FAIL.
