Obama Campaign to Return Aunt's Donations

Updated 1:01 p.m. By Matthew Mosk The campaign of Sen. Barack Obama will refund a small number of contributions made by Obama's aunt, who has been living in the United States illegally, according to a published report.

The woman, Zeituni Onyango, lives in public housing in Boston and is the half-sister of Obama's late father.

The Associated Press reported today that Obama's aunt had been instructed to leave the country four years ago by an immigration judge who rejected her request for asylum from her native Kenya.

Obama campaign reports filed with the Federal Election Commission show Onyango gave $265 to the campaign. Foreign nationals are not permitted to donate to American presidential campaigns.

Yes, I wonder what George F. Will is thinking? He may have lost his intellectual marbles.

This should be on national television!

Maybe FOX News will play this story over the week-end and on Monday.

One final push!

The challenge:

Between NOW and election day, convince at least two Obama/Undecided voters to vote for McCain. Further, convince these two people (or two others) to take up the same challenge. (Like a chain letter)

So you have converted people in the past? Good, but we need more!

Many Obama supporters are mindlessly supporting him, with no real reason, this is VERY easy to get them to switch over. Even if you fail, other Obama/undecideds may be in the room and hear valid arguments and question their faith in the One.

Do your part...your country depends on it!

This reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Jerry finds a check his grandmother made out for his birthday years before, cashes it, and ends up getting the old lady arrested for check kiting.

“Oh no! My Auntie Zeituni’s going to jail?!”

Okay, that’s $200 and change down.

What about the other several hundred million illegal or questionable contributions?

And, Obama, are you going to send a little of your own “spreading the wealth” gift to Auntie to help her on her way?

Vote for Obama cuz I need the money.

Yet, no mention of Mr. Millionaire, I am my brother’s keeper, spread the wealth actually doing something to HELP his ‘dear aunt’ whom he spoke of so glowingly in his best selling book...

Yeah, but that’s if he really gives it back and not just say he’s given it back.

So Senator "Coke-head" Obama is accepting clearly illegal contributions from a relative who is an illegal alien living in public housing and on public money? And is returning these illegal donations only when he is caught at it?

This is the same Senator "Coke-head" Obama who has prominent supporters voting illegally in at least two states?

The same Senator "Coke-head" Obama whose "lipstick on a pig" comments were the most deplorable by any major candidate in our country's history?

This man isn't fit to serve as a dogcatcher, much less as a candidate for President of the United States.

I’m sure Oprah will help her out though.

I'm not so sure. Oprah's mom is suing Oprah because she didn't pay her clothes bill that she got convicted on not paying for. Something like that. That's not how I live and don't understand those kinds of goings-on.

"The woman, Zeituni Onyango, lives in public housing in Boston and is the half-sister of Obama's late father."

Is there anyone in this family that isn't the product of whores and a whoring father?

Are they all half-something?

It just was on Fox. Major Garret was asked about and he spewed the typical Obama line about Obama not knowing.

Knowing that clown the refund will probably be in the form of campaign buttons..

Who else has been donating illegally to Obama’s campaign? How many?

Since they are not disclosed, how would we ever know?

Found in a rundown Boston estate: Barack Obama’s aunt Zeituni Onyango
‘Auntie Zeituni’, who, with Uncle Omar, dropped out of sight after moving to the US, is backing the presidential candidate from her modest flat

Barack Obama’s ‘Auntie Zeituni’ made illegal contributions to his campaign

A major premise of Øbama’s campaign is that we are our brother’s keepers - and the government will ensure that we take care of our brothers. For Øbama, charity doesn’t begin at home; it begins at other people’s homes.
