    Why Zeituni Won.

    President Obama’s “Auntie Zeituni” won her bid for asylum in the United States because a leak about her illegal immigration status exposed her to “great risk,” according to a previously confidential ruling.

    Zeituni Onyango, 58, the Kenyan half-sister of Mr Obama’s late father, was found by The Times in a Boston housing estate days before the 2008 election that her nephew won.

    An anonymous federal official said at the time that she was living in America illegally, having lost two previous asylum requests. After the election, she applied again for asylum and won.

    A heavily censored text of the ruling was released to the Boston Globe yesterday under a freedom of information request.

    Leonard Shapiro, an immigration judge, ruled that after the disclosure Ms Onyango would “be a target if she is removed to Kenya”.
    Well not all reasons but 'that's all folks'

    "Senator Obama has no knowledge of her status but obviously believes that any and all appropriate laws be followed."

    LMAO, throwing auntie under the bus loaded up with millions of illegal Mexicans on their way to vote for Democrats. *sigh*

    I refuse to take responsibility for the provocative and rediculous nature of my posts, because I had no knowledge of nuthin since I just woke up and haven't had my coffee yet, or just got home from work and my brain is fried, or I just don't have any idea why a nice girl like myself would say such a thing! Furthermore, I hereby give up my right to sue myself for damages to my reputation, cause I don't think any less of myself and I know how much I got in the bank!
