Merged Obama's Aunt... Riding the Gravy Train.

[ProBonoShill]

Do any of the resident liberals have a problem with this?

Shouldn't Obama be footing the bill?

Is it fair that his aunt jumped the queue?

 

[The Charnel Expanse]

Is she supposed to be the new Roger Clinton, or something?

 

[Checkmite]

Man, presidents' families getting perks? Next thing you know, Obama's going to think he can start ignoring traffic lights.

 

[BenBurch]

Worse, Checkmite, he thinks he can have a motorcade everywhere he goes!

Can't some brewery fix her up and sell some Auntie Beer?

It's amazing how Jack Williams is just as staid and stiff as he was in the 80s, considering how action'y news shows have become. Even his delivery is exactly the same.

Disability and Public Housing in Southie is more like a gravy hooptie, than a gravy train. Of course, as a guy who grew up in the 'bury in the 80s, I have nothing good to say about Mass's public assistance, or it's public housing. Or Southie.

I take it you weren't too fond of Good Will Hunting?

Never even bothered to see it. But I enjoyed Boondock Saints.

Reminds me of Grey Gardens...perhaps she should make a documentary, it worked out well for the Beales.

not a liberal, but no problem- Obama is not responsible for his aunt.

 

[leftysergeant]

When somebody comes up with some documentation that the POTUS is helping her, you might have something.

But look here. She has been in the country since before her nephew was even an especially important person. Whazzup wid dat?

This kind of attitude gave power to HITLER

I don't understand this idea that corruption is so common that it's somehow childish to discuss or fight it.

Seems pretty obvious to me that she's got a benefactor close to the Administration. But I see nothing especially extraordinary or even improper about this, assuming she's not getting subsidized at taxpayer expense. Yes, it's a pretty major assumption, but nobody's provided evidence to the contrary, like you said.

AP is reporting that she received and still receives government aid including disability payments.

BOSTON — President Barack Obama's aunt says she has no reason to apologize for accepting public housing and other government assistance even though she hasn't contributed to the system.

Zeituni Onyango said in an interview with WBZ-TV that the United States is supposed to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.

"This country is owned by almighty God," she said in her first interview since being granted asylum in May. "You people who preach Jesus Christ, almighty God, and the rest of it, you are here to help people, help the poor, help other countries and help women. That's what the United States is supposed to do."

The station aired the second part of the interview on Tuesday night.
Onyango came to the U.S. from Kenya in 2000 and was denied asylum by an immigration judge in 2004.

She stayed in the country illegally, living in Boston public housing, where she remains to this day. She also currently receives $700 per month in disability benefits.

She was granted asylum earlier this year by the same judge who said she could be in danger if she returned to her homeland because of her relationship with the president.

I do. If I read the story correctly, she received government housing aid while having illegal immigrant status.

Is it fair that his aunt jumped the queue?

This one I am unsure about. Asylum seekers have a different queue and rightly so. I would need more details before forming an opinion.

 

[Grizzly Adams]

I do. If I read the story correctly, she received government housing aid while having illegal immigrant status.

Oddly, according to Onyango's Wikipedia page, it seems Boston is prohibited from denying public housing to illegal aliens.

 

[quixotecoyote]

Immigration policy in this country is inconsistent to the point of being fairly described as schizophrenic. I take nothing for granted about immigration law.

What's wrong with this picture?

So what are we to make of the stunning demonstration of arrogance and entitlement by President Obama's Aunt Zeituni Onyango?

After living illegally in the U.S. since 2000 — defying two deportation orders, a felony — she was granted asylum four months ago. She lived illegally in public housing and received $700 monthly in disability payments — systems she had not paid into. And she continues to collect, in spite of wealthy relatives who can well afford to wean her away from public assistance.

And now she claims

Obama's aunt says US obligated to make her citizen

I say we kick her out of the country ... back to Kenya where she belongs.
