Catching up with Obama’s illegal alien auntie
The Boston Herald has a very informative piece today on Obama’s illegal alien aunti, Zeituni Onyango.
You’ll be happy to know she’s back in taxpayer-subsidized public housing. Make sure you go to the Herald site to see her kicking back in pearls.
Also:
“Boston is my second home,” she said. “(South Boston) is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever lived in. People are very kind, and I’m enjoying the beaches.”
Only in America…
Yes, this is a teachable moment. When does Auntie Zeituni get invited for a White House beer summit?

now, if we can just get the idiot’s brutha ova here from Kenya..Not to worry about green cards or visas, the joy of just having him here is plenty good enough! Oh and the pearls are just her way of practicing for when she lives at the White House. One big happy family. She and Michelle’s mom are going to be bridge buddies.
/sarc
Some how, some way, it’s gunna be racist to talk about this.
Another “Shut up, white boy!” (teachable) moment.
I do not agree with her special treatment however gotta wonder what it would cost if she were deported. There would have to be some kind of security for her given the publicity she has already received. I would not be comfortable with sending her into a den of lions that would await her in Kenya. No it isn’t right that she has circumvented the system. But sending her knowingly into harm’s way isn’t right either. Despite what folks want to say about conservatives we are not really hard hearted. Its probably cheaper just to keep her where she is.
Six months until her hearing?
That is part of the problem. Our immigration system requires some serious adjustment.
The article said she is a computer programmer, but did not say whether she was employed. An important bit of information not provided.
always nice to know that those who contribute nothing always do well, parasites in action. illegal ones at that.
Honestly, I couldn’t care less where she lives, I just hate the fact that the idiot in the oval office is the #1 hyprocrite of the land and his wife #2!
Everything about the obamas sum up what is wrong with this country. (Excluding the two girls of course.)
So then ship her off to one of Obama’s fave & very friendly fiefdoms – e.g. Cuba, Hugo-land.
then let the libs raise money from other libs and let them pay her bills…as a conservative who is against illegal immigration I certainly don’t want one red cent of my tax money going to support her…or for that matter why isn’t dear leader paying her bills rather than us taxpayers?
I’d disagree, Cheryl, but I’m always pleased when I see folks using the correct “couldn’t care less” as opposed to “could care less”. So I’m mellow
purple – it’s Friday, what can I say? LOL. Today I don’t care, Monday will probably be a different story and tanks for the attagirl! LOL
I have no problem with Aunt Zeituni. She is the perfect example of an “illegal” that could be made “legal” in an eye blink.
She has a wealthy, well-connected American family who could sponsor her, get her off public support, and help her assimilate into the U.S. Primary care for your people should come from their family, not charity and most certainly not the government.
If her family truly cared for her and loved her they would. The fact that they do not speaks volumes about their values.
Well at least the Obama administration can’t be accused of favoritism toward the first auntie. They — the president, the whole Dem party and half of the GOP, all elites — favor open borders with a full plate of government benefits for immigration scofflaws from all over the world. It is only “the bigots” who raise an eyebrow at such things. [sarcasm]
haha – well, if you had wrote “could care less”, I woulda told you ya needed to try harder at not caring! It ain’t no grammar or spellin’ thing, it’s one of those a pet peeve logic things.
But speaking of “spelling/grammer cops” – here’s a quick, one page site put up by someone who apparently had seen “definitely” mispelled just one too may times:
Definitely
“one of Obama’s fave & very friendly fiefdoms”
I understand Gitmo will be having some vacancies. That’s certainly a safe place.
I agree, but first her immigration status needs to be changed. If, as jsmiddleton4 speculates, she would be harmed returning to Kenya, then she should apply for political asylum. If she can prove her case then she will get the asylum and that would put her here legally. Then, as tiredofit08 suggests, her expenses can be paid by her liberal friends.
Otherwise she should be put on a bus to NY City where she can calim she is homeless and Bloomberg can purchase her a one-way ticket out of the country.
Forget Billy Beer
Its time for
Aunt Zunie’s Malt Liquor
It is a teachable moment in that this reminds us that of all the persons illegal present in the US, approx. 40%-45% entered initially under lawful pretenses (via tourist visa, student visa, temporary worker visa, etc).
In a survey of relatively ‘poor’ people taken throughout the world reveals that about 80%+ say they would like to come to the US. Yet, our nation is having difficulty accommodating 2-3 million newcomers each year. How many of the world’s poor can we reasonably accept? And, where is the breaking point? (ie. we can’t be the refuge of everyone from everywhere…)
People that knowingly enter or remain in the US despite (not because of) our laws should be subject to automatic no-appeal removal. Even the Obama’s auntie. Period. End of story.
Yup, I suppose Illegal First Auntie Zucchini does provide a good high-profile textbook example, if nothing else.
Amazing how illegal just doesn’t have the meaning it once did, isn’t it? It’s really quite a simple process: Pass a law, then enforce it. If it turns out to be a bad law, they change it or eliminate it legislatively, then enforce the change.
Jeez, what is so difficult?
Note to self: don’t misspell the word “misspell” in the future.
how do you spell misspell? never mind..
Who is MissPell?
I could not agree more. the root cause of most of our problems in this country stem from the failure to do precisely what you have described.
The very people who put the laws on the books complain about their enforcement. But they need the laws on the books for political cover. However, heaven help the poor sould who attempts to enforce those laws.
But politicians need chaos in order to survive in office.
Auntie is very healthy are ripping off other peoples wealth.
I’ve got a huge problem with psychopants like her, and so should everyone else. That’s the problem right now, the belief that you should take from those who work to provide for someone like her….just sitting back on her (taxpayers) porch in pearls.
Also, Auntie is getting free medical, just like all the other millions of illegals, at your expense.
I support the preservation of grammatical standards!
In this PC age, there just aren’t that many acceptable ways to point out who the “untouchables” are. (Fortunately, many of them festoon their wretched bodies with tattoos, which is a good visual clue in knowing whom to shun.)
Your logic is impeccable cabrerski. Be very very careful if you are invited to the White House for a “teachable moment”.
I just realized something. Anything Obama may do that is out of the “norm” for US presidents, can be excused as “change.” If he wants to serve beer on the white house lawn, despite that people think it tacky, his reponse would simply be “it’s a change.” Clever!
When you forget it’s kinda like “Mississippi” and use just one “s”, hoping it’ll work to make something resembling a compound of “miss” and “spell”!
But it (“mispell”) does work when you’re speaking, you just drag out that solitary “s” as I do with “Ms.” – “Mzzzzzzzzz”.
The late Senator Claiborne Pell, after whom the “Pell Grant” is named?
No, wait – he was a guy. Nevermind….
I think the problem – for Obama – is that more and more folks are starting to realize that all change, real or foto-up, is not good change.
purplepeep and Misscheryl, did you know there’s a word for misspelling (and bad handwriting)?
Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning.
As for OB’s auntie, I wouldn’t care less where she lives either except for the little fact that she’s living here on our dime. Let her favorite nephew pick up the tab.
Do you care that she is living here illegally?
Wayfaring – whattdaya got for bad grammar?
I have no idea what you just said.
Absolutely; my point is, at this moment in time I have other, far more urgent things on my mind and heart.
It’s a sorry fact that she is still here because the system has failed to enforce the law. But she is here, there is a third hearing scheduled, and in the meantime, your tax dollars and mine are paying to support her sorry a$$. If she’s still here, my point is, let OB and his bitter half pay the freight instead of pushing that responsibility off on us.
So, yeah, I guess I do care, only I wish I didn’t have too (if you can understand that).
No, Cheryl, it’s Obama’s bad auntie, not his gramma we’re talking about!
“Purple said: When you forget it’s kinda like “Mississippi” and use just one “s”, hoping it’ll work to make something resembling a compound of “miss” and “spell”!

hahaha! I meant I can get away with saying “mispell” but I can’t get away with writing it that way!
heh, well, her too!
did I spell grammar wrong? I’m really getting paranoid about all this spelling and grammer stuff.
LOL! That’s when the screaming banshee alter ego emerges – ask me about the abuse of that begs the question sometime.(o<O)
*hint: it absolutely, positively doesn’t mean that a question needs to be asked.
I understand your reasoning and perspective. But I am incensed that our laws are not enforced and no one in power seems to care.
SNORK!
You got it right the first time – me thinks someone is just having a little fun with words.
I will welcome it. I would first reply that I will accept Obama’s invitation to teach him just about anything he needs to know. But I would ensure he has several weeks to spare, since he needs to learn so much.
Of course, we would have to have a good single malt or five nearby. None of that wimpy Bud Light. That would, naturally, be lesson one.
Errah sounds like history is repeating itself and there’s money to be made here with a Aunti Zeituni Onyango Beer.
AXLEROD: “Get me Jimmy Carter on the phone!!!!”
Really this is such an outrage, although I am not “purple with rage” about it, because it is necessary to decompress sometimes so as to avoid premature death from spontaneous combustion.
But truly…it is a freakin’ outrage!
Clearly the political tides are moving strongly against civilized people; the third-world cultures of Latin America and the Middle East are everywhere pressing against the achievements of Western civilization.
So with the tides against us, it is hard to win political victories. Many laws have been passed ~against~ the constitution and in favor of the claims of the unwashed against the achievements of the hardworking and successful.
But what really, really makes me purple with rage about the illegal immigration situation is that even when we conservatives have majority opinion and the law on our side, the elites simply flout the law! Their refusal to execute the laws is, well, ~criminal~. But the MSM, the legal profession, and the political elites have all decided that they don’t give a hoot about the law. They will have it their own way…no matter.
Faced with this kind of kind of lawlessness and contempt for the constitution and democratic will of the people, I increasingly despair of responding within the democratic process. I just hope that the next person who blows up a federal building will be more careful to find one that is filled with the evil-doers rather than with so many innocents.
LOL – no, Cheryl – Stranger got it right, just some word horseplay.
There’s quite a few old jokes re:Gramma/Grammar, something usually along the lines of:
Little Johnny tells his teacher “I ain’t makin’ no sense outta this here lesson.” The teacher says “Johnny, your grammar is awful!”. Johnny replies “No she ain’t! My gramma is really nice!”
I got a million old, corny jokes – but at least I recycle ‘em
Errah on a similar note, the Aunti Zeituni Onyango Beer will probably have a “Certificate of Live Birth” in lieu of a “Born On” date.
“she should apply for political asylum.”
I don’t think I’m speculating about harm coming through “political” avenues though. I’m saying due to the publicity folks who would kidnap others for ransom, etc., would eye her as a valuable prize. How many folks would jump at the opportunity to hold the President of the United States aunt as ransom? Remember we’re talking Kenya here.
I’m speculating her safety could be at risk simply because of who she is and the publicity that has come from her family ties.
That isn’t really political asylum. At least in terms of how I understand political asylum.
One can only imagine the press this would receive. “Hard nose anti-immigrationist right wing kooks force Aunt Obama back to Kenya where she has been kidnapped and held for ransom.”
I do not like the fact that this lady is here illegally. I would also have a hard time being consistent with my own values if I acted in a way that knowingly put this lady in harm’s way. I’ve been to Kenya. Worked from it when I was doing medical relief in Sudan. While I am speculating, I am not fantasizing. I was at the American Embassy the day before it was bombed. Even then we did not walk down town by ourselves. It has gotten worse, much worse, over the last couple of years.
I’m all for t-shirts that say, “Send Auntie Obama to Gitmo” however.

President Obama (PBUH) only helps people out using OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY. He doesn’t like to use his own. This is the “democratic” / liberal / socialist / marxist / statist / communist way.
***
After he finishes trashing our economy (and the Medicare insurance I paid for over 51 years of working!) maybe he can set up a monthly stipend for Auntie and his brother George–with my money! But it’s O.K.–he’s just helping out the “little guys”–by making them littler and poorer.
***
It would save money if he would move Auntie to the White House–I understand Lincoln doesn’t use his bed their any more.

I’ll have a COLB Lite to wash down my wagyu steak, please!
Errah, One cold Auntie O COLB Lite, coming right up! It has half the Facts and half the Transparency of other COLB Lite Beers!
I am not sure of how political asylum works but I would think that there could be a case made that she is in imminent danger if she returns home and certainly this danger would be for political reasons. My point is that if there is a valid reason for her to remain here then apply that reason and give her legal status. I want to see our laws enforced.
No argument here; I have long maintained that if we are no longer a nation of laws, then we have indeed lost the republic that the Founding Fathers so carefully crafted for us.
And we (the voters as a whole) have no one to blame but ourselves – that includes those who have the right/responsibility to vote, but don’t, or who are too incurious about the people for whom they are voting to ensure that they are people of good character who will uphold the Constitution (an oath that too many of our politicians have forsworn).
At least they didn’t photograph her with the pearls hooked on one of her boobs. I hate when that happens.
Wait. That’s a female in that pic?
Aside from that…anyone else that does something illegal must pay. Just ask Gates.
If mrcakes and all the millions of others did it through the required channels of the INS, then deport her and make her come back through and do it right.
“I want to see our laws enforced.”
Me too. Just don’t us “shut the border down and stop illegal immigration” folks shooting ourselves in our proverbial feet on the way to accomplishing that goal.
“That’s a female in that pic?”
Looks like lots of Kenya older females to me.
And given what I’ve seen in Africa, her pearls would have to be hanging much lower to get caught on her mammary glands.
Definitely five – all different, of course. A real whisky tasting; that would be a good lesson indeed.
Just goes to show, in our corrupt government, it is sure nice to have friends/family in high places.
“…it is sure nice to have friends/family in high places.”
Nothing Obama about that!
That’s gone on for a very long time.
She’s a computer programmer?
Hey, can you make a living as a Cacographer? I think I’ve got the skillz.
..at the very least…
This illegal dirtbag makes me sick…sitting there on her lazy, “disabled” [riiight] backside, stealing from the US taxpayers. How many legal citizens are working their buns off to support this piece of fecal material, while struggling to pay their own mortgages and feed their own families? How many legal US citizens, who truly are in need and who paid taxes all their lives, are on a “waiting list” to get into the public housing complex where mooching Auntie Zeituni “roosts?” And, why isn’t her Kenyan-born, sham-POTUS of a nephew kicking in to pay her expenses?
I find it incredibly odd that Obama not only doesn’t resemble his now deceased father, he doesn’t resemble any of the African Obama’s, nor the Onyango’s. He does resemble the deceased, Frank Marshall Davis.

Auntie wears a green dress that her nephew bought her so “many years ago,” pearl strands, a new “‘do,” and is she now wearing wearing contact lenses? She is living in the U.S. illegally, in taxpayer funded housing, cannot legally be employed, but has lawyers, and can afford to buy ecutriments to enhance her ensemble?
Where is the money coming from? Is her attorney giving her living expenses? Is he representing her pro bono? What does he stand to gain, other than notoriety? This stinks!
Why is Mr. President allowing this to continue? He is costing the taxpayer money, and is allowing national resources to be wasted on prosecuting Onyango.
We, I think, all know what the outcome will be….
DEPORT HER NOW!
After she goes home, fills out the proper paperwork and waits her turn like everyone else.
Why not? It seems that quite a few media types (I refuse to call them journalists) manage to do just that.
Drop by sometime, it’s what we do to beat the heat of summer (or beat the cold of winter or to shake off the doldrums, or to…)
Such a hard life, living on the dole. Not a care in the world. “The people in South Boston are soooo friendly, and I especially like those juicy fat checks and free rent that I get for just sitting on my ass”.

So why is this now our problem? She should have thought of this before coming here illegally. The only thing she’ll be good for is a “teachable moment” when Obama has the gall (he doesn’t have balls) to bring up Immigration Reform (i.e; making all illegals legal and Democrat voters!). Maybe she will help sink that coming bill by showing that these people are a complete drain on our system!
Hey, there you rogue bloggers!
Wanna help crack the 4,000 posting mark on the “Don’t Taze Me Bro’”thread?
It’s two pages back on previous entries now
Well, considering the way business is going, I may be out of work soon (along with my other half, who’s been out of work for almost ten months now), so I may have a little free time.
Out of pure
nakedcuriosity, what’s your favorite single malt?In a related topic, how much less would health care cost if we deported all the illegal aliens? I mean if we were actually serious about reducing costs and not just making a power grab.
Depends on the mood, but here are some:
Highland Park (18 or 25 y/o)
Macallan Anniversary Malt (25)
The Dalmore Stillman’s Dram (28 or 30)
Glenmorangie Cote d’Nuis (no longer made)
Glenfiddich 40y/o (a little pricy, but heaven on earth)
The Glenlivet Archive (great gift bottle to give, as well)
Glenfarclas (31)
And a lot of specialty bottlings. Of course, be sure to drink it neat when the whisky is old enough to be out on its own (above 18 years).
Neat, as in no ice, but I’ve always heard that a drop of still water helps bring out the whisky’s flavors.
Most good Scotches are out of my price range right now – the stereotypical champagne tastes, beer budget, except mine tends more toward a water budget right now.
I did manage to try a twelve year old Macallan not too long ago. It was nice and smooth on the tongue – very different than Laphroaig (I did like Laphroaig’s smokiness, though my other half didn’t care for it – but he’s not much of a whisky drinker).
Since I grew up in a tea-totaling family, I’ve been trying to educate myself on the finer points – and single malts definitely qualify as finer points. It’s a pleasure conversing/corresponding with someone who also appreciates such things.
You are right about the water as we have the droppers nearby at all times. I was referring to the ice. But you are spot on.
Obviously, you are not a peathead. I find the smoke a bit too much most of the time. My wife is the tea-totaler but she encourages my vice as long as I don’t drive. Her Christmas present to me every year is a trip to WhiskyFest in Chicago. Apparently, we have a great marriage.
If you find yourself in Phoenix sometime, call out.
I wonder if Obama will invite his long-lost auntie over for cocktails at his nearby vacation home next month, just to mix in with the other distinguished guests, when they will be almost neighbors.
Or is she already kicked under the O-bus and disowned?
He could have the Secret Service hop over to South Boston in a boat, or maybe have Teddie pick her up in his yacht.
BTW – has good ol’ Teddie ever invited Obama’s auntie over for a dinner party at the Kennedy compound? After all, Teddie is all for uncontrolled immigration – as long as it stays OUTSIDE his compound walls.
Since Obama has $50,000 to spend on ONE FRIGGIN’ WEEK, maybe he could pay for his auntie’s rent until she is deported.
No kiding – “Piss on it, let the system take care of her, I’m too busy being admired”.
Oh, yea!
Try Grand Marnier, the 75 y.o. variety…smoother than a baby’s butt!
“So why is this now our problem?”
So John you are okay with forcing the issue and dropping this woman off in the middle of a bunch of sharks?
You are willing to force your principle to the point of putting this lady in harm’s way?
I am as strong as I can be about securing our border and getting immigration under control. I will not also support doing something that would harm any one regardless of who they are.
Valuing human life and not knowingly doing intentional harm when it may be avoidable is hardly a “problem”.
I’ll have to try it…the Grand Marnier that is. I seldom drink sweet liqueurs but will make the exception. I usually stick to my single malts, cognacs and really good tequilas.
She received her full due process through a hearing before a judge on her asylum claim in 2003. As the decision was not to her liking, in 2004, she then appealed the decision before an appellate board, and her claim was reviewed yet again. She lost. She should have complied with the court’s orders. She refused, and chose to ride it out in hopes of “another bite at the apple” came along.
She could not prove that she would be persecuted if she had to return to Kenya, to live with the rest of the Obama relatives who, as far as I can see, might be economically disadvantaged, but that doesn’t exactly meet the standard of persecution or torture for a grant of asylum. Though I’d imagine she and her supporters would consider the loss of the free ride in the manner to which she is accustomed in the US “torture.”
Her nephew has now bought her many more years of yet another round of due process through the impossibly backlogged immigration courts.
I’ts no secret how game our immigration system and remain in the US when one has no other means to remain legally. Just file an asylum application, whether the claim is real or not….and wait. And appeal. And, if you’ve got the means or ability to hire a high-priced lawyer, just start over and try again.
Here is the answer.
By the way, it won’t bother Obama that his illegal alien aunti, Zeituni Onyango lives in public housing. After all that is what he and his family are going to do until January, 2009.
errr 2013.
Could you imagine a Republican President constantly telling the American People that they aren’t doing their fair share for poor people, while an illegal alien aunt of his is running around the Country, avoiding legal authorities and living off of public assistance?
I didn’t think so.
Could you also imagine Saturday Night Live passing this situation up for a running skit until the aunt is actually caught?
I really didn’t think so.
DEPORT HER ASS NOW!
The mainstay of retorts by the Left as to anyone who criticized Obama’s illegal alien auntie (living in the U.S. on taxpayer-funded services [housing, healthcare, probably food and more] while also defying several previous deportation orders) was that this illegal alien auntie was “frail, elderly.”
The woman is still in her fifties, hardly deemed “elderly”. And she’s not looking so frail, either, nor ever was.
The original news from the liberal media (even they addressed this issue a year ago when the illegal alien auntie was discovered in Boston) was that she “receives a stipend from the local senior center” (or it might have been the local housing authority…), but the point is, she’s drawing a salary, she’s receiving healthcare services under Medicaid, she’s receiving Social Security payments (SSI, welfare), she’s in public housing…what ELSE can she exploit that the U.S. taxpayers fund in order to pay for expenses by struggling U.S. CITIZENS (not illegal aliens)?
She’s getting lawyers to assist her, on top of all that, and I strongly doubt she’s paying anyone anything. A citizen has to come up with a sizable deposit to get any attorney to even discuss a case with them…
What boggles the mind, most of all, is that she’s already received deportation orders and has refused to honor them. What judge, what JUDGE, would even tolerate her appearing again to even debate this situation?
That initial news about the woman, also, from a Boston site, quoted the illegal alien auntie as “coming and going” to and from Africa and the U.S. and speaking with a great deal of enjoyment about the happy visits back in Africa, just as she’s now speaking about her happy times in Boston. She then has said she needs asylum due to undue pressures “back home” (in Africa). Not to mention the glaring question as to how it is she’s paying for airfare “back and forth” for those happy times in Africa…
To sum all that (^^) up, then, she’s a scam artist. She’s claimed and claiming anything for any reason to attempt to continue her scam.
