Obama’s ‘Auntie Zeituni’ pens memoir: ‘Tears of Abuse’

Just in time to pack your beach bag with some good summer reading, President Obama’s aunt has penned a book sure to connect with a wide swath of Americans.

Zeituni Onyango’s new memoir “Tears of Abuse” was released quietly in late March.

The Boston Herald’s Howie Carr brought national attention to it Friday in a tongue-in-cheek column based off a fresh press release for the book.

According to Carr, Onyango’s book deals with her supposed victimization in America while living off the taxpayer’s dime.

“Auntie” Zeituni Onyango indentifies herself as “an advocate for peace and a writer” on her personal website. “She is also known for being the Aunt of the 44th President of the United States, President Barack Obama,” the website says. “She is referred to as ‘Aunti Zeituni’ in Obama’s memoir ‘Dreams from My Father.’”

Onyango moved from Kenya to the United States in 2000 but was rejected asylum status in 2002. She remained the country illegally, ignoring a 2004 removal order, and taking full advantage of subsidized public housing.

Obama’s aunt was granted asylum in 2010. her illegal status gained public notice in 2008, just before Obama’s election.

And Auntie sought and was granted "asylum" in the country she was "victimized."

OOoooh! She’s an “advocate for peace”!

I’ll bet she’s an advocate for social justice, too!

This “victim” needs to be shipped back to Kenya, along with her nephew. I’m sure she won’t be a victim back in her home country.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if Uncle Stinky runs her over next time he’s bleepfaced and behind the wheel now that he got his drivers license back.

300,000 copies will be fictitiously bought by the DNC and either dumped into a recycling bin or never actually delivered as a means of laundering money and auntie will move to a condo in Florida.

“Victim here victim there I’m a victim everywhere”...poor poor Aunt Zeiloony...if only I could have given more of my meager paycheck for her living expenses...such a lovely woman...and so horribly abused by the USA welfare system...I now can see why her nephew hates America so much.

How exactly was she victimized? Just hearing about this is nauseating. So many mooches, so little time...

The only tears that should be shed should be for the trees sacrificed for this trash.
