Obama’s Aunt May Provide Fresh Dustup (Obama believes he and his family are above the law)
wall street journal ^ | 11/1/2008 | Amy Chozick

Posted on 11/1/2008, 6:41:45 PM by tobyhill

Just three days until the presidential election and Barack Obama may have a fresh dustup to deal with.

Late Friday night the Associated Press citing “two separate sources, one of them a federal law enforcement official” reported that Obama’s aunt, a Kenyan woman named Zeituni Onyango, who has been living in public housing in Boston, is in the U.S. illegally after a judge turned down her request for asylum for years ago.

Obama and “Aunti Zeituni,” as he refers to her in his memoirs, don’t appear to be close. He doesn’t discuss the 56-year-old woman who is his half aunt on his father’s side at events or on the campaign trail as an influence on his life.

Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton says “Senator Obama has no knowledge of her status but obviously believes that any and all appropriate laws be followed.”

WSJ? Ok. AP has the story, it’s on radio....this might get somewhere.

According to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, twenty-eight percent (28%) express anger about immigration. 74% continue to believe the government is not doing enough to secure the nation’s borders. Just 12% think enough is being done.

26% Angry About Immigration, The Issue Candidates Ignore

Forty percent (40%) of likely McCain voters are angry about the current immigration situation. Among those who plan to vote for Obama, just 14% share the anger.

Eighty-three percent (83%) of those who plan to vote for McCain say gaining control of the border is more important than legalizing the status of undocumented workers. Likely Obama voters are evenly divided on the importance of the two.

What is odd to me is that a Senator couldn’t just get that fixed with a phone call at the time.

Of course, wouldn’t Obama have a million relatives given his father’s....activities?

Deport Obama with her since his allegiance is more with Kenya than the US.
Obama’s campaign is trying to prosecute the “leaker” instead of following the law himself. He knew she was here and he knew she came here on a “vacation visa” so after 4 years he to have known she was here beyond a legal status.

You don’t have to follow the law when you’re the Messiah.

Obama believe that he IS the law. Its not a good sign when they aren’t even elected yet and already sound like Charles II or Ivan the Terrible.

Deport Obama and his aunt. Kenya, Indonesia, Pakistan. Don’t care where they go as long as its somewhere else.

‘That ONE’ is too careful about leaving a paper trail like that. He won’t even stand by his own votes much less his relatives. YOU are their keeper, and YOU are cheap. He said so.

Do BO or any of his half relations have ANY full relations? I guess somewhere in the family tree there has to be a full branch, doesn’t there? Or did the DNC and the Socialists make him out of spare parts?

You may be on to something. Last night CBS tore his economic policy to pieces. They trashed McCains too, but they really got on Barry’s.

What concerns me is the 1/3 of the voters who have already voted...and the likes of ACORN.

Yep, the media has been taking polls of their own regarding perception of bias. They know they have to seriously start operation CYA. Comes at a good time.

If we can get 3 days of positive coverage and negative Obama coverage we’ll be laughing. We can do this, Pray and Work for it!

Not only should you be voting early if you can but get out there on election day and get others out FOR McCain

That’s what I was thinking. How can you have a half aunt? For your aunt to be related to you on both sides of your family you’d have to be a Muslim. Oh, never mind.

you can bet that she was also registered to vote in Boston. I bet she had already done it by absentee ballot.

Yep. After Obama is elected they will claim that they looked at Obama’s relations but “unfortunately” it just came too late. Obama’s been running for 2 years and his aunt attended his swearing in ceremony for the Senate 4 years ago but they just now were able to nail down the connections.
