An interview with Obama’s deportation fugitive auntie

Zeituni Onyango is back in the news.
WKYC in Ohio got an exclusive interview with the deportation fugitive aunt of Barack Obama.
See it here (hat tip: Denise).
An excerpt from the station’s write-up:
Onyango is very protective of her nephew. She won’t say whether she’s spoken to him since her deportation troubles, but says her problems are her own.
“Right now with this controversy, I don’t want to disturb him because he’s got a big job to do. I’m not an issue. I am not Barack Obama’s daughter. I am not Barack Obama’s wife. I am not Barack Obama’s constituent. I’m Barack Obama’s auntie. So anything happening to Barack Obama, I should not be included,” Onyango says.
And on the advice of her attorneys she will say little about the case. “That depends on the judge. I can’t talk about it.”
Onyango is a computer programmer, who first came to the United States in 1976. Today she is ill, and uses a cane to help her get around. But her spirits are lifted when she talks of the President Obama’s father, her late brother.
“He told me on his death bed that one day Barack would lift up the Obama name to the world,” Onyango says.
Our talk turns to her time in Cleveland, as she awaits her hearing. She has nothing but praise for this city, and place that offers her privacy. “I love Cleveland. It is beautiful and clean,” Onyango says.
She believes her case will be settled and she will live for the rest of her life, in the United States. Her hearing is set for early next year.
She’s been the beneficiary of de facto amnesty for more than three decades. Why shouldn’t she feel entitled to it the rest of her life?
Oh, and I’m sure Lindsay Grahamnesty approves!

OBAMA DELEGATE IMPERSONATES MEDICAL DR. AT JACKSON-LEE TOWN HALL MEETING. pathetic
‘Squalid’ has varying degrees, apparently.
Raise your hand if you think auntie will granted permanent residency.
Good grief! Whoever wrote that is nearly illiterate!
Sure he did.
Good thing we’re passing socialized medicine! We’ll be able to help these wonderfully productive new members of our society.
Seriously, is she getting medical care? Seems like she should be the poster child for our movement.
I thought fugitives were always on the run. No time to give interviews, let alone live out in the open. Silly Andy. Get back to work!
Lindsay Graham isn’t fit to serve homemade liquor in a Lusaka shebeen.
Nice that this woman has lived on the taxpayers for years, is in public housing, and STILL is here after FOUR previous deportation hearings which she ignored their rulings and stayed?
Good to see ICE is working overtime on this one. $5 says she never leaves. Wonder if Obama will cut off her health care, not that she’s old and uses a cane? Someone should as the Empty Suit that question.
Good grief!!
Doesn’t “fugitive” imply she’s on the run?
I will again state this situation has re to say about Obama than his aunt.
She is a perfect example of someone who could gain sponsorship from her U.S. relatives and attain legal status.
Obama’s failure to do so reflects on the “love” he has for his aunt and his respect for the laws of the United States. He’s one h@11 of a poor example of who the Chief Law Enforment should be.
How did she go from receiving a “stipend” for volunteer work while in the Boston housing project, to becoming a “computer programmer”?
If she is a computer programmer, then why has she been living on the public teat for so many years (like illegals aren’t hired anywhere)?
She should be living very well and on her own penny. I seriously doubt that she has ANY skills, given the past articles written about her…something “fishy” here.
Define “Computer Programmer” as it relates to aunt zoonie
I suspect it may require a very broad interpretation to include her skill set
What computer language does she know? Why can’t she work from home/Kenya?
Hey, wait a minute! Shouldn’t she be getting enforced hospice consultations right now?
Yeah, where’s Tommy Lee Jones when you need him?
I have no idea what that means, spaceycakes. But I love the sound of it!
Ironic, isn’t it, that Obama does nothing about Auntie or others like her, but spends time thinking about Granny’s hip and how maybe it’s cheaper to toss her under the bus?
and i thought prez allah (bbuh) said he would gladly pay for the hip surgery of his grandmother. obviously his aunt doesn’t rate as high as his grandmother, as he has left her on the illegal public dole for thirty years. what a lying turd this guy is.
She is from Africa.
My congressman assures me that illegal immigrants will not be covered by
universal health carethe public optionhealth insurance reform. We will only euthanize our own citizens.From the WKYC interview from Auntie.
So she has been in USA since 1976. By that quote she is stating that she re-entered the United States illegally not once but twice. And the reason why is to be at Obama Sr. bedside she would have had to leave the country, because Mr. Obama Sr. died in a car crash in Nairobi in 1982. I guess to lie or embellish ones life story runs in the DNA of the family tree.
Our hostess is employing literary allusion, chap; calling OB’s auntie a deportation fugitive is a reference to her ongoing effort to escape deportation.
Of course you could be punning and I missed it, what with my humor meter being on the fritz right now (worries about elderly parents, coupled with a continued lack of work). *sigh*
BTW how is your kitty doing?
And they say there is no honor among thieves.
“Oh, and I’m sure Lindsay Grahamnesty approves!”
Lindsay Grahamnesty’s vote for Sotomayor, the Wise Latina Lady, is the straw that broke my Republican Alligence. There is just no reason to try and reform that dead fish. Dear Aunty and Joe the Gang Banger are welcome and we are not.
Lindsay Grahamn and Two Step McCain: making America safe for lower green fees.
Yes, and according to Tina some-body-or other – I heard the soundclip on Laura Ingraham’s show but missed the name of the speaker – that’s a reasonable excuse for the hissy-fit Madame Hillary I’m-Secretary-of-State-not-my-husband threw, because Africa is hell. Oh, and on top of that, she’s feeling fat (that’s what Tina-what’s-her-name said, not me).
Yeah, that’s kinda what I meant..’squalid’ is relative.
Now go see ‘District 9′.
Wait for it, wait for it…here comes the White House announcement:
“We must act NOW! to right the injustices of our immigration CRISIS. One that has elderly, disabled PRODUCTIVE immigrants living under in terror of being forceably thrust out of their homes in the dark of night and sent off to a future of despair in countries they no longer know. We must pass an AMNESTY program in the next 36 hours or our nation will fall irreversibly into an abyss of racial hatred. Don’t let those fascists on Fox crush the American tradition of charity. [You should turn over the names of anyone opposing this policy to flag#326@whitehouse.gov”
I think Lindsay Graham has a “thing” for Latina men.
Didn’t his father die instantly (or on the scene) in a car crash? If so, how exactly did he give this death bed revelation?
Silly…He was the Father of God. He could do anything! Either that, or lying runs in the family. Hmmm…
I heard he dies a drunk–but at least the sob died.
