Jesus. For a King, Obama sure has a lot of relatives floating around on the fringes of polite society, doesn’t he? CNS News:
President Barack Obama’s uncle, facing deportation for being in the country illegally, will not be treated differently than anyone else under U.S. laws, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told CNSNews.com on Thursday.
“I would refer you to ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] and DHS [Department of Homeland Security]. It will be handled like any other immigration case,” Carney said.
CNSNews.com also asked, “Was the president aware that his uncle was in the United States as an undocumented immigrant?” But before the question was completely asked, Carney interjected, saying President Obama “was made aware of this issue when I walked into his office and, among other subjects, mentioned it to him and he was completely unaware.”
Carney apparently was speaking in reference to when the president first learned of his uncle’s arrest. Carney did not say whether the president knew his uncle was in the United States illegally.
— And even if he did know? Bush’s fault.
The uncle, Onyango Obama, 67, is the half-brother of the president’s father, Barack Obama, Sr. Back in 1992, an immigration judge had ordered Onyango Obama to leave the United States. According to the Associated Press, the uncle has held a Massachusetts driver’s license since at least 1992 and he also had a Social Security number, even though he is an illegal immigrant.
Well, then.
Seems to be a family trait, that.
Leading one to ask, just who do you have to know to get such documentation…?

Richie Cunningham made a wrong turn in life. Presidential press secretary? That’s lower than a hobo crack whore.
Obama’s Family Tree
The King of Id had his father in prison and his mother working in the palace as a maid. Obama has his uncle in jail, his grandmother in public housing, and a cousin living in a hut in Kenya with no plumbing.
Whoops. Granny’s in Kenya and it’s an aunt who’s in the projects. So hard to keep his poor relations straight.
Kind of puts that “federal family” thing in perspective, doesn’t it?
That will last until Uncle calls up the WH and wonders if his nephew would have any comment when Uncle calls WND and volunteers to be an eyewitness to Obama’s live birth in Kenya….
Can you imagine how the MFM would treat his were Barcky a conservative?!
Does anyone else wonder when Carnie is going to break down and go postal on the MFM press corpse?
Grandma in Kenya already claimed he was born there. MBM response: ‘Yawn.’ And IIRC Moochelle also had a few suspicious slips of the tongue regarding his pedigree and locale at various times. Those off the cuff remarks are quite telling.
Am I the only one who read “like any other immigration case” as meaning he has absolutely zero chance of deportation?
I’d also file this as directly related to yesterday’s “Who is Obama?” post. Any self-respecting journalist would have been probing all these questions and demanding answers since Obama took the stage at the DNC back in 2004. Anyone else with this many skeletons in the closet wouldn’t dream of seeking a local public office. This jack-in-the-box ran for President without anyone at all questioning his credentials, motives, background, affiliations, or familial relations.
Well, that’s not entirely accurate. He ran without anyone being allowed to question anything, under threat of being branded a racist.
shower the people you love with love show them teh way that you feel
Heh. No, I thought the same thing.
In fact, I even thought about quoting him as happy to be “guaranteed a free education and free health care, plus all the lion jerky food stamps can buy”.
All that, and Barack is *still* the black sheep of the family.
The guy who wrote this is going to be savaged by the left.
Really?
I call bullshit. And I have an idea for a campaign promise his opponents ought to be making.
oh look romney and perry fighting over rino mantle on illegal immigration
Romney pings Perry on immigration
Worst. Job. Ever.
Insanity must be fun as there is so much of it on public display. Such as:
[…] “Obama Illegal Alien Uncle Won’t Get Special Treatment, White House Says” […]
Well, the good news is President Perry won’t build a fence too high for Uncle Obama to climb back over…
The situation with his poorest relatives is disturbing. There are no BHO family, friends, or fans who can scrape together a few hundred a month to pay a dependable charity to get the President’s brother a respectable job?
