Opinion: Obama's Aunt and Liberal Hypocrisy

By Michael Medved - AOL News

(Oct. 1) -- A recent television interview with President Barack Obama's beloved "Auntie" exposes the fraudulent nature of liberal claims to superior compassion for the poor and downtrodden. Zeituni Onyango, half-sister of the president's late father, Barack Obama Sr., told WBZ-TV in Boston that she owes no apologies for taking $700 a month in welfare payments and occupying public housing during more than six years as an illegal immigrant in the United States. "This country is owned by almighty God," she insisted. "You people who preach Jesus Christ, almighty God and the rest of it, you are ...

By David Knowles - AOL News

(Sept. 21) -- As Congress prepares to re-initiate the stalled immigration reform debate this week, one very personal immigration issue looks poised to hit the president close to home.

Judge to Decide on Immigration Status of Obama's Aunt

By David Sessions - Politics Daily

A federal immigration judge will decide Thursday if Zeituni Onyango, President Obama's aunt, can remain in the United States after living here illegally for years, CNN reports. The 57-year-old Onyango applied for political asylum in 2002, citing violence in her native country of Kenya. She was a legal resident with a valid Social Security card at the time, but her asylum request was turned down in 2004. Her immigration status came to light at the end of the 2008 presidential campaign. Onyango is the half-sister of Obama's father and one of the president's many relatives scattered across ...
