Says the Associated Press:
President Obama‘s aunt buried her face in her hands and sobbed as she described her anguish that she no longer has contact with him and his family after the revelation she had been living illegally for years in the United States in public housing.
Zeituni Onyango told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview that she is troubled that her immigration woes have made her a political liability to her nephew.
Onyango, the half sister of Obama’s late father, says she has exiled herself from the family after attending Obama’s inauguration because she didn’t want to become fodder for his foes. Obama and his family have not reached out to her either, she said.
“Before, we were family. But right now, there is a lot of politics, and me, I am not interested in any politics at all,” said Onyango, whose appeal for asylum from her native Kenya is before an immigration judge in Boston.
So let me get this straight …
- The President of the United States, a former US Senator, has an aunt that is in this country illegally?
- This aunt is living in a home paid for by you and me, people that are here legally and pay taxes?
- Since this issue could become politically damaging, instead of correcting the situation Obama has chosen to completely ignore the situation?
This is the Hope And Change you demanded last November?
