Throw Aunti from the bus

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 3, 2008 09:34 AM

Over the weekend, the Associated Press reported that Barack Obama’s beloved Aunti Zeituni Onyango — a Boston public housing resident — was an illegal alien deportation fugitive who was ordered to leave the country by an immigration judge four years ago. Despite her illegal absconder status, she not only obtained federal housing benefits, but also illegally contributed to Obama’s campaign. Obama denies knowing about her illegal status and has promised to return her donations.

And now, Obama has gone and completely thrown Aunti under the bus — joining Obama’s poor grandmother. Via 24ahead, Obama was asked by Katie Couric if he supported the deportation of Onyango:

If she is violating laws those laws have to be obeyed. We’re a nation of laws. Obviously that doesn’t lessen my concern for her, I haven’t been able to be in touch with her. But I’m a strong believer you have to obey the law.

If he were telling the truth, I’d applaud him — and the Left would condemn him as a jack-booted racist.

But he’s lying — and all his cultists knows it.

In 2006, Obama marched shoulder-to-shoulder with illegal alien shamnesty activists in Chicago.

He supports driver’s licenses for illegal aliens.

And he said this:

We are not going to send [illegal aliens] home …Mr. Obama said many illegals have “settled,” “bought property” and have children who are U.S. citizens. He said the country would have to devote “all our law enforcement resources to rounding up people without papers, even if they weren’t causing any trouble,” and once that’s done, the country would have to “empty out our jails.” …That would force police to ignore killers and carjackers and instead be “worried about the guy in the kitchen somewhere who’s working in a restaurant… Not all of ‘em are from Mexico,” because some are from Ireland, Poland or Nigeria. …”Imagine what that would look like, basically detaining, putting in jail 12 million people. We’re not going to do that…”

He’s a diehard opponent of deportation — except if it embarrasses his campaign in the final hours before Election Day.

Obama politics as usual.

Lucky for Aunti, as I noted over the weekend, the open-borders Bush administration and skittish McCain campaign aren’t going to do anything about his duplicity.

Cowardice plus rank opportunism times political correctness = a lasting recipe for immigration chaos.

    It’s a real pity she couldn’t make it till Wed. She helped raise an extraordinary man. This will be a bittersweet week for Barack Obama.

    Obama’s white grandmother was the person who loved him the most and cared for him. She was a much better mother than his real mother. And his dad cared only for himself–no thoughts for his abandoned son.

    Why does Obama regard his real mother and father so highly in his book DREAMS OF MY FATHER? Outside of a roll in the hay they did nothing for him–yet he puts them first.

    Obama does not seem to have a normal set of values, and does not seem to think critically. May God bless the soul of his fine grandmother.

    SCHWARZENEGGER: I want to invite Senator Obama (cheers) because he needs to do something… (cheers) He needs to do something about those skinny legs! (laughter and cheers) We’re gonna make him do some squats and then we’re going to go give him some bicep curls to beef up the scrawny little arms. (cheers) But if we only could do something about putting some meat on his ideas.

    You know, Ahnold might be a RINO, but he has not disappointed in entertaining me.

    What is extraordinary about Obama? That he may well succeed in fooling half the voting citizens into believing he doesn’t share Bernadine Dohrn’s hatred of America? That no man with so thin a resume has ever ridden empty rhetoric so far?

    If you notice the video when B. Hussien Obama is talking if his aunt should be deported he looks down and to the left. Anyone with invetigative training knows this is a sign of lying.

    The modern age is very fast; I just hope we don’t skip from Caesar all the way to Nero in this one guy.
