by showing the family connection and helped her stay here legally, especially considering he is a lawyer.

He didn’t.

Another I’d like asked, directly to Obama and then to his supporters:

How can we trust him to take care of us like he claims the government ought to do when he lifts not a finger to aid his own family members?

Whether it is claimed she refused his help or not, there are things he could have done in spite of that refusal. He didn’t.

This is the first time in two days I’ve been able to log on. While it’s frustrating it’s in a weird way, heartening. I know it has to be traffic… which means the opposition must be scared… which means they’re beefing up efforts to intimidate us and push us into apathy about the election.

Keep up the good work! Keep us energized and fighting for the country!

My other question is how Onyango got public taxpayer assistance even though she is a non-citizen. One would think that when we pay taxes for social benefits that they are intended for those who are in the country illegally. Was this an administrative oversight, a conscious decision by Massachusetts, or something influenced by a powerful United States Senator?

Also, what is Obama’s opinion on helping out non-citizens with taxpayer assistance? When he says that 95% of taxpayers will get more money back does that include illegals?

If Obama thinks enough of his aunt to mention her in one of his books, it would ‘tax the imagination’ to belive that he didn’t know she had been rejected for her request for asylum 4 years ago. He apparently only lives by the law that he agrees with…much like his friend Bill Ayers.

Beyond that ‘omission’ from the story of his family, it seems fair to mention that if Mr. Obama thinks ‘we should spread the wealth around’ let’s ask him why he hasn’t even done so within his own family. I guess he’s waiting for ‘the government’ to do it. His promises are laced with lies and this just shows him for what he is, a hypocrit.

“They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening .” George Orwell

My guess is “auntie” winds up with a special review of her immigration status given the relationship to Obama. Whether she ends up living on Kennedy’s estate as a gardener’s assistant or dressed up in an inaugural dress is really the only question. Wait for all the exclamations of disbelief, “oh, we didn’t know” or perhaps “now, maybe she will take our help”, etc., etc.

“Auntie” will become a cause celebre for the liberal Hollywood elitists. Another sign of Bush policies which have led to a breakdown of our society. It will also be about the failure of capitalism and how the “poor” are falling through the cracks. Forget that liberals are importing the worlds impoverished, then using them as part of the guilt, we suck charade. We already know the script.

These are the folks Obama provides for in his health care and tax plans. THink he will let this go? Never.

That is the only excuse for you pointing out that she is here illegally.

I just wanted to get that out before the MSM or some troll beat me to it I mean we’re all racists since we won’t vote for Obama anyway.

I think there are points raised above in the comment section that kind of dove tail with what I was thinking which is:

1) We can’t trust Obama on illegal immigration

2) We can’t trust Obama to take care of us … since he doesn’t even take care of family.

Now if it turns out that Obama DID help her stay illegally well … that would be a real issue .. too bad we won’t know until Tuesday. If we were Dems, we could just start it as a rumor and the MSM would make it a “known fact.”

Auntie should move to Chicago and live with the Obama’s
in their $1.4 Million mansion. While we are on the subject
let’s bring Obama half-brother over and he can live with the Obama’s and Auntie. Now that is what I call “spreadin the wealth”.

and on whatever sorts of public assistance illegally, she also (despite being apparently penniless) made an illegal donation to Obama’s campaign.

But surely all this is just a racist right-wing attack on a poor old black invalid.

…but the AP could not establish whether anyone at a political level in the Bush administration or in the McCain campaign had been involved in its release.

What the heck does THAT mean? “Gee, McCain must have been behind this. Try to figure it out. You mean there’s absolutely no evidence he was behind it? Well let’s just report that and let everyone think he might have been.”

According to the AP article, Obama’s aunt is only 56 years old? So she has been here a number of years? Does she have a job? I’m a 58 year old female and I can assure you I am not helpless. Since Obama refers to her in his book they are close enough for him to know where she is and that she is illegal. And she was told to keep quiet until after the election.

Yes, I can appreciate the possibility that she might have ‘refused help’. But she is getting public assistance.

Sen. Obama, do you think it is right to spread the wealth to relatives of the wealthy? Do you think she should have tried private resources (like her wealthy nephew) before laying a claim to money that has been confiscated from taxpayers? Or is it more patriotic to suck as much as you can from the public trough?

…three days to go and this is the best you’ve got? Renegade Auntie?

You’d better stick with not-Joe the not-a-plumber not understanding that Obama’s tax plan would benefit him more than McCain’s. At least it’s funnier.

Here illegally, living in public housing, receiving public assistance.

Pray tell, how does one get that level of if not for a validly obtained Social Security Number ?

This has all the signs pointed to “The November Surprise”.

Two years of a book lauding her as ‘the second coming of Mom’ and three days before the election (at the weekly ebb of the news cycle of course), this surfaces from a news service that many have called The AOP (The Associated Obama Press).

Shameful at best.

He uses his family as props in his ‘memoir’, but sits back and lets them live in squalor.
The Obama we see is this:
A manipulator who has led the biggest internet scam in history, deliberately enabling his website to rake in hundreds of millions in untraceable money.
A liar who promised to run a clean and transparent financial donor system, but has has done the opposite.
And now we see his callous to his own family.
Obama made millions off of his book. Thanks to the Bush tax cuts, he got to keep large amounts of his income.
Not only does he want to close that financial option off to the rest of us now that he has his.
He is too immature and selfish to lift a finger to help his own poverty laden family.
Even a $1000 to his brother in Kenya could have changed his life. And to let your own Aunt live in poverty as an illegal alien is disgusting.

First story Foxnews Story

Isn’t it illegal to accept donations from people that are not citizens of the United States of America? You can’t say that he didn’t know that this donation came from an illegal when it has made national news. Just my two cents. The closer we get to election day the more I worry about how any party could put up a candidate like Obama. If the Republicans nominated a person that kicked off their political life in David Dukes living room the media would be screaming. I just can not fathom how far we have come, how much we have lost in such a short period of time. Have we forgotten the State of the Union when Reagan became our President in 1980?

Is Obama here illegaly? Has anybody found his birth certificate yet? That’s not refusing help when the tax payers keep her up. It’s also not a good thing to let our own citizens do without ,because of someone else that’s not a citizen. Then again, we all know how they feel about taxes. The Government wouldn’t have a dime, or a job if it wasn’t for tax payers. Hey, I got it, I’ll quit my job and let everybody else keep me and mine up. Isn’t that the plan or reason for voting for Obama? Remember, he’s doing this for everybody, even the one’s that are able to work and provide for themselves. If he allows his own family to live like that, what makes anybody think he wouldn’t do the same to you?

“the Bush administration has ordered that until the election is over all deportation orders in the country need to be reviewed by ICE’s regional directors,”

Kicking her out now would generate sympathy for Obama, not indignation about her being here illegaly. Leaving her alone until after the election would be best.

Senator, you’ve said that you think that all appropriate laws should be followed. Does this mean that you think the existing deportation order against your aunt should be enforced?

If the answer is yes, then let’s get on with it. If the answer is no, then my follow-up question is: Do you believe that all deportation orders should go unenforced, or just the ones against members of your own family?

The uk timesonline article also mentions his uncle Omar. Where is he? Is he illegal? Has he donated? He was evicted from public housing, so where does he live now? What happened after the assault on him?

I’m glad the UK papers are doing the job our media should be doing.

are two different standards. One for a Democratic Senator Running for President(Obama) who has an Aunt that is staying here illegally and the other standard for everyone else! They get deported.

Vote

McCain/Palin
