Obama's Aunt was ordered to be deported in 2004. Instead she has lived in public housing in Boston for the last 6 years on someone else's dime. Now she is being rewarded with asylum.
There's some justice for ya... The best part - the basis for her asylum request is not public info

Quote :

"Onyango moved to the United States in 2000. Her first asylum request was rejected, and she was ordered deported in 2004. But she didn't leave the country and continued to live in public housing in Boston. "

Quote :

"Onyango's status as an illegal immigrant was revealed just days before Obama was elected in November 2008. Obama said he did not know his aunt was living here illegally and believes laws covering the situation should be followed. "

Quote :

"(May 17) -- A U.S. immigration court has granted asylum to President Barack Obama's African aunt, allowing her to stay in the country, her attorneys announced Monday. "

I see this article completely ignores the appeals requests / process she was going through on the basis of her medical condition (auto-immune), but that's biased journalism for you.

Not taking a side either way. Just wanted to point out the notable ommision of detail.

Bias of users is shown, ITT.

Breaking News: Aunt of the President of the United States to be deported.

That headline would read nicely in international papers.

I see this post completely ignores the rule of law... but that's TWW arm chair legal team for you.

Supposedly Obama has not paid for any legal fees or helped her get a tourist visa... but going off this picture after the hearing - she seems to be doing better than me at the moment.

Not sure how you can guage that by a photo.

Sounds like you should get off of TWW and get a job.

5/17/2010 4:09:00 PM

Not that it's relevant but I have a job.
I just don't see how someone living illegally in public housing should have their hair and nails done and be wearing a designer outfit.
Didn't you clowns just sound off about Palin's clothing in another thread?

I would just like to know how she gets a free pass for the last 6 years? She was ordered deported and only recently appealed

Which is it? Is she doing better than you or not?

Also, what designer is she wearing? I'd like to know.

^Ignore the 3 piece gold jewelry set...

I don't afford myself some of the luxuries she is sporting
Do your eyes not work? Why do I have to list for you what she is wearing?
Why do you keep ignoring the question that matters?

She broke the law for 6 years on the taxpayer dime. Is that ok?

Of course, you're assuming that the jewelry is actual gold and that none of her "designer" items are just knock offs from the flea market.

She is wearing clothes. I'd like to know what designers she is wearing so I can look up prices and be equally as outraged as you. You obviously know your designers well since you were able to come to this conclusion so quickly.

You made a dumbass assumption and got called out. Ignore that.

5/17/2010 4:42:46 PM

Yeah she broke the law for many years, who gives a shit

She's not a dumb bitch from Alaska, so why should I care

5/17/2010 4:44:02 PM

Her sunglasses are 42% larger than mine!

5/17/2010 5:20:47 PM

Even if this is not a case of nepotism and corruption, it is still shady. An analogy - If you work for your father's company, you better be the best fucking worker in the company - always on time, working harder and better than any other worker, always following every rule and regulation. If you leave any doubt that your position or treatment is not earned, for example if one worker is reprimanded for a given action and you are not reprimanded for the same action - the legitimacy of you, your father, and the company are gone in the eyes of your workers. In this way, you have to be held to a higher, more stringent standard. By taking a hands-off, closed doors approach, Obama surely lost credibility in the eyes of those struggling to legally enter the country or become permanent residents/citizens.

Never mind the fact that she broke the law for 6 straight years and got cheap (or free) housing in Boston on the taxpayer dime while other hard working law abiding folk paid out the ass for their urban dwellings, you'd also like us to pick up the tab for her health care.

Awesome.

No that's not OK. That's why we need immigration reform.

***BREAKING NEWS*** The politically powerful and connected get away with breaking the law!

5/17/2010 11:05:42 PM

^^^ so she was just smarter than those poor saps who weren't living easy on gov. housing.

5/17/2010 11:11:42 PM

Haha exactly. What's the point of running for office if you don't get to run shit and hook a brother up? Don't like it? Take his place.

5/17/2010 11:12:21 PM

If I was running the place, I would hook all my relatives up. All 200 of them.


I mean, her $50 scarf only cost each tax payer $.000000162, which isn't that much if you think about it.

5/18/2010 12:14:51 AM

Exactly. You're a big picture kinda guy, I like that. You can be in my cabinet. The trick is to just keep it reasonable so they don't execute you.
