Obama's Aunt in Boston: An Illegal Alien [updated]
Politics Daily — ... Foreign associations; Foreign partnerships; Individuals with foreign citizenship; and Immigrants who do not have a "green card." Nice. In addition to violating immigration law and living at taxpayer expense in public housing, the long lost aunt and the Obama campaign have both violated federal election law. More on the blogosphere and this comment at Michelle Malkin: "So let me get this straight. Millionaire Obama doesn't use ...

Obama's Illegal Alien Aunt
Confederate Yankee — Obama's Illegal Alien Aunt Oh, my word : Turns out Aunti Zeituni Onyango, one of Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama’s many relatives made famous in his memoir, is an illegal alien. And not just a run-of-the-mill illegal alien on welfare. She’s one of the hundreds of thousands of deportation fugitives — absconders – whom I’ve been reporting on for the past six years. After 9/11, the government vowed to crack down on absconders. They’ve failed abysmally.

Oops: Obama's 'Aunti Zeituni' Here Illegally
JammieWearingFool — ... are more than 10 million such immigrants in the United States. The AP could not reach Onyango immediately for comment. No one answered the telephone number listed in her name late Friday. It was unclear why her request for asylum was rejected in 2004. Onyango is not a relative whom Obama has discussed in campaign appearances and, unlike Obama's father and grandmother, is not someone who has been part of the public discussion about his personal life. Hmm. I wonder why? More from Michelle Malkin and ...

Barry’s Aunt Needs Some Amnesty
Pirate's Cove — ... there are more than 10 million such immigrants in the United States. What did Barry know and when did he know it? Especially since he has taken campaign donations from her, which, last time I checked, it was still illegal to take campaign donations from foreign citizens. See the 2nd paragraph on page 2 of the Times Of London story. Will Barry return her contribution? And here we have yet another illegal alien living on the public dole. Others: Michelle Malkin, TigerHawk, Riehl World View, The Jed ...

Obama's Aunt an Illegal Alien; She Contributed to His Campaign; Lives in Public Housing
Wizbang — ... yesterday by The Times of London. "Miss Onyango has asked that we respect her privacy and she be left alone," he said. "She's feeling very put upon. We are asking the press to back off because she is feeling a little bit oppressed." I think Joe the Plumber has something say about feeling "a little bit oppressed." The media and the Democrats rifled through his records in an effort to find something to smear him with. Aunti Zeituni will get kid glove treatment in comparison. Hat tip: Michelle Malkin

The War on Aunt Zeituni
PoliGazette — ... Overnight something else happened, and this is disturbing. Some conservatives have found out that Onyango is an illegal alien in the United States. She requested asylum, but the U.S. government did not grant her request. The government then told her she should leave the country, but she fled and stayed in the U.S. ...

Obama's Aunt Sends Your Tax Dollars to Obama
The Jawa Report — November 01, 2008 Obama's Aunt Sends Your Tax Dollars to Obama Oh yeah and she's absconded on a deportation order. Michelle Malkin has the story here . I guess for me the sad part is that, here's Obama's aunt living on welfare. Sending him my money and he's an effing millionaire. And what has Barack done for her? Same thing he did for his half brother living on 12 bucks a month in Kenya. Nothing. So Barack has promised to take care of the little guy if he is elected? Given how he treats his own blood, what chance does any of his supporters have that he will keep the promises ...

SATURDAY ROUNDUP
News — ... predicts. Oyango will not be scrutinized the way Joe the Plumber was nor will she face demands to return her campaign donations because of a weak immigration system both Obama and McCain support, Michelle Malkin complains. A McCain campaign memo just days before the election emphasizing the importance of Pennsylvania and Ohio must be discouraging for McCain given the current polling, Washington Monthly’s ...

The obligatory “Obama’s aunt is an illegal alien” post
Hot Air » Top Picks — ... the presidential election — led to an unusual nationwide directive within Immigrations and Customs Enforcement requiring any deportations prior to Tuesday’s election to be approved at least at the level of ICE regional directors, the U.S. law enforcement official told the AP. The unusual directive suggests that the Bush administration is sensitive to the political implications of Onyango’s case coming to light so close to the election. The boss spent the wee hours of the morning devouring this story so I’ve got nothing left but scraps to pick through. First scrap: The One ...

"What could be more American than an Undocumented First Family?"
small dead animals — ... for much of the summer and, when I returned, the entire campaign felt like an absurd satire I wasn't quite up to speed on. But truly, in a world in which the many illegal foreign contributions to the leading candidate's unprecedented fundraising include his own deportation-ordered aunt , satire is dead."

Maggie's Farm — ... This is not a hate crime. Illegal immigration is off the radar. Except for Obama's illegal Auntie. The candidates and their pets. Are Americans too puritanical about drinking and shooting? Barclay's Bank wants no help from the government. We found some small businesses that are pro-Obama. Pimps and hos. (h/t, Right Wing Prof) The $700,000 bill for Obama's Berlin extravaganza. Why not give his $600,000,000 to the poor? Governator implies that Obama is a ...

Shocker or Not: “Obama’s Aunt is an Illegal Alien”
FullosseousFlap's Dental Blog — ... Flap is not shocked about this story that Allah and Michelle have so carefully reported.

The Unexplored Character Issue-- Is John McCain Fit For Public Office At All?
DownWithTyranny! — ... smearorama, which started at Murdoch's London Times and then got picked up moments later by Murdoch's Fox News (thanks, Bill Clinton!) and the less and less relevant Drudge. Soon the GOP bottom feeders thought Xmas had come early. These kinds of last minute revelations don't do much, other than motivate the base a bit. That said, let's get back to figuring out why McCain was never punished for his role in the bank swindle that cost American taxpayers billions of dollars and is never held accountable for ...

The aunt and the smear: The right-wing effort to make an issue of an Obama relative
The Reaction — ... to "Obama's illegal immigrant aunt problem," and typical right-wing smearmongers like Michelle Malkin have kept up the hype, but the story is hardly any sort of election-altering October Surprise, and, thankfully, it has pretty much disappeared into obscurity, where it belongs. As Salon's Alex Koppelman ...

Obama’s Middle Finger
The Anchoress — ... I’m not talking about fiscal or monetary generosity. Some are mocking Obama for returning to his under-the-bus Auntie only as much money as she has donated to his campaign, and not a penny more, but That’s not what I’m talking about. ...
