Obama unaware of illegal aunt; believes in application of law
November 1, 2008
Barack Obama knows nothing of the alleged immigration status of his aunt, known as “the illegal aunt” but believes that all appropriate laws should apply to her. With Republicans and media digging deep in the final hours to find a scandal wherever it may lie, the Obama camp seems unshaken with these stories. And if Obama has a relative who is trying hard to live the American dream- so what? The law is the law and that’s that!
Reuters – Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obamaknows nothing about the status of a Kenyan relative reported to be living in the United States illegally but believes “all appropriate laws should be followed,” his campaign said on Saturday.
The Obama campaign responded to an Associated Press report that Obama’s aunt had been ordered to leave the country four years ago by an immigration judge who rejected her request for asylum from her native Kenya.
What a load of balony. Ofcourse Obama knows of his aunt’s illegal status. There are so many unknowns with this man it is frightening and to suddenly absolve all knowledge is criminal.
Clearly you read all the books about him…
Whether Obama has an aunt with illegal immigration status or not does not matter. Every single US American has a relative or a friend looking for a way to get a green card… If anything, this story brought Obama closer to the people struggling to find the American dream.
I guess you now have 4 years to find out all you need to know about the man. What’s sad is that even if the man turns out to be a great leader, the polarized Republicans will never admit this. Every country has a percentage of voters which are heavily polarized; not that the US is different.
Change we need…
What’s sad is even if Obama is a terrible man the democrats will whitewash him.
No one is contesting the right of Aunti Zeituni to the American Dream.
What is foul here is Obama’s denial of his knowledge of her.
What is horrific is HIS denying her options and political guardians, in which case he will be a weak presider, or he is being cruel and expedient, in which case he will be corrupt.
