Speechless...

Even for MA, this is pretty damn brazen. It's even more so when you take into consideration both who it is and what the circumstances surrounding her situation are.

Aunt Zeituni: 'Country Is Owned By Almighty God'
BOSTON (WBZ) ― "President Obama, I'm his aunt, I'm the only person on earth allowed to pinch his ears and smack him. Not his father; not his mother; not his wife or brother - he'll fight with him. But Auntie is a much honored person in African culture."

This may be the case in Africa, but in the United States the President's Aunt Zeituni Onyango hasn't been revered, but reviled by many.

Read the whole thing. Listen to the video, if you can stomach it. This case is everything that's wrong with our current system of immigration wrapped up in a neat little package. She manages to come up with the money to get from Kenya to America in 2000. She then gets so sick that she "can't" leave, and winds up staying - making her an illegal immigrant. She goes before a judge, who rules that she should be deported, and she winds up staying anyways in clear violation of the law.

And how do we react? She gets free rent and $700 a month to live off of, leap-frogging others with more pressing needs who had been waiting for months for assistance. And she's been doing it for eight years now, becoming "legal" only earlier this year - by the same judge who ordered her deported in 2004! When asked what she felt she owed this country, she replied "nothing", stating that it was from heaven that she managed to somehow get into public housing ahead of others.

Even removing the whole Øbama angle, this story is ridiculous. By no means should this woman have been given public housing - she should have been put on the first plane back to Kenya once she was medically cleared, end of story. It's simply mind-boggling that this did not happen in 2000. But for her to receive public assistance - that's our tax dollars at work there - ahead of American citizens who waited their turn? Unconscionable. When you factor in that Øbama mentions her in his book - obviously he knows she exists - and has allowed her to remain in public housing (didn't he just get a multi-million dollar deal for his latest book?), it shows just how deep his disdain for our country - and the people who play by the rules - runs.

It's time "Auntie" paid her own damn way.

That is all.

Don't forget her insane claim that "If I come as an immigrant, you have the obligation to make me a citizen."

Wolf beat me to the punch. Citizenship for a LEGAL immigrant is not a right. It is a priviledge, plain & simple. Now I know from where The Teleprompter Jesus gets his Hubris . . . it runs in the family. Gah.

am I the only person who has digust for Obama in this whole charade. I keep hearing how Obama never pulled any strings, never lent a hand, etc. etc.
I couldn't not help my aunt, or brother or other blood relative if I had the means. not saying she should get a pass on free housing, nut how bout a room in the chicago homestead, airfare and a small house in Kenya. heck even as a senator, he could have somewhere down the line encourged some buaerocrat to help her through her situation, get her the forms or get her on a plane. How can the
0ne be so heartless. oh nevermind.

Definitely some Genetic Defects in that Family, but I don't think there's a cure for the "God made me Special" Gene yet.

This will hit you in about 10 years, when you're in your 40's. She is "retired" at 58. She's been retired since she got here, what 10 years ago now?

New bumper stickah:
Auntie Zetuni is a PARASITE!
