Obama blows off aunt's funeral; plays golf...

Priorities...

The New York Times reports:

After Zeituni Onyango, the woman President Obama once called Auntie, died in a South Boston nursing home this month, her closest relatives gathered her belongings at her nearby apartment. There, framed photographs of her with the president covered the wall.

Weeping before a polished wood coffin at her wake this past Saturday, they described Ms. Onyango, the half sister of the president’s father, as “the spirit of the Obama family” and talked about raising money to send her body back to Kenya. Mr. Obama helped pay funeral expenses and sent a condolence note, Ms. Onyango’s family members said, but the president did not attend, as he was golfing.

Deceased: President Obama’s illegal alien half-aunt Zeituni Onyango

61 is young to check out anymore. I wonder if Obama will attend the funeral. I bet he won't. 

Via CBS News:

President Obama’s half-aunt, Zeituni Onyango, died in Boston last night, according to the law firm that represented her during her asylum case in Boston’s immigration court.

Onyango, who was 61, died in her sleep after taking ill in January. She was the half-sister of Mr. Obama’s late father, Barack Obama Sr.

She first came into the public eye in 2008 when reporters discovered she was living illegally in South Boston. At the time, then-Sen. Obama said he had no knowledge of her status. She had emigrated from Kenya in 2000, seeking political asylum, but her request was denied in 2004. She would later tell CBS Boston that she couldn’t afford to leave the U.S. when her asylum request was denied. She lived in a homeless shelter for two years before being assigned public housing.

Immigration attorney Margaret Wong later helped her win her asylum case in Boston’s immigration court, which she won in 2010. She later received a green card.

Deceased Boston Bomber's Aunt: He "recently became a devout Muslim who prayed five times a day"

Is anyone with to brain cells to rub together surprised? 

TORONTO (AP) — An aunt of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects said Friday the older brother recently became a devout Muslim who prayed five times a day, and she doesn't believe the brothers could have been involved in Monday's attack.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev had married and had a 3-year-old daughter in the U.S., Maret Tsarnaeva told reporters in Toronto.

No Surprise. Obama's Illegal Aunt Gets to Stay.

President Obama's Aunt, Zeituni Onyango, has won her asylum plea gets to stay in the US. Presumably, she gets to keep her public housing.

The Caucus reported:

An immigration judge has granted asylum to President Obama’s aunt and will allow her to stay in the United States, her lawyers said Monday. She could become a citizen in about six years.

Obama's "Auntie Zeituni" Gets to Stay for Now

There was a hearing yesterday to determine if the aunt (pictured above) of President Barack Obama would be deported to her Kenyan homeland. Nobody will be shocked to learn the answer is no. She gets to stay until as late as May when a final decision on her status is to be made.

Authorities will decide by May at the latest whether to deport an aunt of President Barack Obama to her Kenyan homeland, the Justice Department said after a hearing in her case on Thursday.

Zeituni Onyango, 57, a half-sister to Obama's father whom Obama called "Auntie Zeituni" in his memoir "Dreams from My Father," moved to the United States in 2000 and applied for asylum in 2002, citing violence in Kenya.

Does anyone really think she will ever be deported? Zeituni Onyango, 57, a half-sister to Obama's father, lives in a Boston housing project (see picture below) and has been making illegal campaign donations to her nephew Barack Obama.
