The Real Issue With Barack Obama’s Aunt–UPDATED

November 1, 2008 / 10:52 am • By Dr. Melissa Clouthier

The AP reveals today that Barack Obama’s aunt is 1) living in a Boston project 2) living in the United States illegally 3) living on public assistance and 4) donated to his campaign (which is illegal for foreigners to do). I hope the press leaves this poor woman alone. She is, no doubt, not the only illegal alien living off of the American taxpayer.

What I find interesting is how much it reveals about Barack Obama. In absence of his experience, we are told to vote for him because of his spectacular judgment. This episode demonstrates terrible judgment. What was Barack Obama thinking?

UPDATED:
Obama says he didn’t know:

She attended Obama’s swearing-in to the U.S. Senate in 2004, but campaign officials said Obama provided no assistance in getting her a tourist visa and doesn’t know the details of her stay. The campaign said he last heard from her about two years ago when she called saying she was in Boston, but he did not see her there.

How is it that a proud Auntie wouldn’t have contact with the potential future President of the United States? It makes no sense. She donated to the cause. She didn’t contact him otherwise?

It’s bad enough to say she’s a beloved Aunt in your book and then look the other way at her status. It’s worse to say she’s a beloved Aunt and not maintain contact for a couple years.

    He was thinking, “I am not my aunt’s keeper. That’s the government’s job.”

    Obama has a real credibility problem that grows everytime the public learns more about him.

    September 11 Attacks

    NOTICE EXACTLY ON THE DAY OF THE ATTACK OF 9-11 – Yes, on 9-11-2001 the domestic terrorist BILL AYRES released a book of memoirs of his bombing the pentagon, capital building and other American targets. OBAMA STARTED HIS POLITICAL CAREER IN THE HOME OF BILL AYRES A SELF-DESCRIBED ANARCHIST & MARXIST (KARL MARX FOUNDED COMMUNISM)

    Obama glorifies his history as a “community organizer” but the term may well be a euphemism for “communist organizer.” Why? The Saul Alinsky method is the primary method of “community organizing” and Saul Alinsky was a communist. Also, in Obama’s memoirs he sites a man named “Frank” as his friend and adviser. “Frank,” as it turns out was Frank Marshal Davis who was a member of the old Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA. See how community organizers are taking over the world.

    Please forward this information to all you can because the media is just NOT doing their job.

    Right. Like he didn’t know Bill Ayers wasn’t a domestic terrorist. Like he wasn’t listening to Jeremiah Wright “God damn” America for 20+ years. We should be afraid, America… we should be VERY afraid.
