An uncle of President Barack Obama was arrested last week in Framingham, Massachusetts, for allegedly operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, police Lt. Ronald Brandolini told CNN on Monday.
Onyango Obama was arrested on August 24 after failing a field sobriety test, Brandolini said.
An administration official confirmed to CNN that the arrested man is the half-brother of President Obama's father. There was no other administration comment immediately available.
According to a a federal law enforcement source who spoke on condition of not being identified, Onyango Obama was not legally in the United States and has been previously ordered removed from the country. His case is now going through the immigration process, the source said.

The CNN story omits the part in the police report where Uncle Omar told police he wanted to call the White House when asked about making bail arrangements.

Wow, CNN. I wonder how many voters are hearing about Obama’s odd family tree for the first time?

Not to harp on this...but the male side of the Obama family has been very prone to alcoholism.

Did Barry know his uncle was here?If he did know, it is a 'high crime or misdemeanor' and you know what that means?
Hmmm, whatever happened to all of the special prosecutors???????

Even putting aside any embarrassment to Obama.
It illustrate the country is overflowing with illegal aliens, from all countries, and this is an epidemic.

In his book he says his uncle ‘was going to America, left and didn’t come back’. Twenty years...

According to this thread Howie Carr said he had both a drivers license and a Social Security card, although I didn't see anything in the thread whether they were forgeries or not.

Wasn’t this the uncle that one of Obama’s aunt or some relative said he had disappeared 25 years ago.

Yes, all the sources I'm seeing are saying this is the “Uncle Omar” who disappeared from Kenya after saying something about going to the U.S.
