Obama's aunt living illegally in the US

[gadgetlady 4]

For all of you doubters, this came up on MSNBC and NOT Fox News.

She's an illegal alien, was denied asylum and deported in 2004, yet is still living in the US in public housing in Boston. Your taxpayer dollars at work!

P.S. If Obama is so big on being "your brother's keeper", why is his 1/2 brother in Kenya living on $12 a year and his illegal-alien aunt living in public housing? Seems to me just a tiny, itsy-bitsy chunk of his $4,200,000.00 2007 income could have helped his blood relatives out just a smidge.

Wonder what the Obama camp response will be to this.

Um, excuses, denial, conspiracy.....you name it.

Or they will treat it as a non-issue or deflect it by diverting attention to all the other millions of illegal immigrants. Either way, they will not take it seriously.

Unfortunately I have a family member who is a child abuser. I wanted him put away for life but it didn't happen. I am no more responsible for his actions than Obama is for his family members or McCain is for his idiot brother who calls 911 when he is stuck in traffic.

There's a bit of a difference here. Obama made friggin $4,200,000 last year alone. I am so incensed at his utter hypocrisy. The "illegal alien" thing aside, having a family member in public housing when you make that kind of money -- and preach that everyone should be their brother's keeper -- is outrageous. Having a half-brother who makes $12 PER YEAR and not helping him out is the epitome of "do as I say, not as I do." Give the poor guy a $20 bill!I promise -- it doesn't hurt to give people a hand up. I've done it many times, for non-family members, to the tune of a lot more than a measely $20 bill that will double their annual income.I don't believe in forcing people to do it, like Obama does, but I do firmly believe in (unforced) charity -- ESPECIALLY to family!!!!!!! CLEARLY, OBAMA DOES NOT.

Oh, and add to that that this poor woman, in publicly funded housing, donated $260 to Obama's campaign -- ILLEGALLY (because she's not a US citizen). It took the news story's breaking to get him to return it.

Oh, he's all for charity to others -- so long as WE are footing the bill. But then again, that's a typical leftist tactic. Look at Hollywood! They keep talking about how much we average people need to give up to do our fair share, yet they have billions amongst themselves. Even that hag Martha Stewart was heard to tell average America (through snickers and chortles) that we need to buck up and take it. I say we begin by boycotting everything Martha Stewart. :cursing:

HOLD THE PRESSES!! You mean he would take illegal donations -- from a family member who could ill afford it, no less??? Perish the thought!! I just can't believe his campaign would be so hypocritical! I mean, isn't he the (insert echo voice here) AGENT OF CHANGE??? I'm crushed. :wink:

Hmmm. I am tempted to change one very pertinent letter and make it CAIR. More fitting.
