Obama's Aunt in Boston illegally

[Needa Pass Rush]

She is 'Present' in Boston. What happens to her now that her visa status has been exposed? Does she get a pass? Amazing how little the immigration problems have been discussed this election.

Wow - what a blockbuster - Obama's aunt (half-aunt, actually) running for president?

Margaritas give me heartburn. I like a couple of shots of a good Irish whiskey on a couple of ice cubes with a little branch water floater.

My guess here is that this article was an opening for discussion on two things: Immigration Issues, which for the most part haven't been discussed a lot during this campaign (presumably because the more pressing concern was the discussion of how to fix the economy, though of course this issue ties into it, albeit not directly) and the implication at the end of the article:
"It was not immediately clear how Onyango might have qualified for public housing with a standing deportation order. " My guess is the implication was meant to be that Obama pulled strings to keep his half-aunt in public housing. But frankly that statement is speculation, not a fact.

Love Margarita's but hate the salt. That recipe almost sounds like a Kamikaze, my favorite

Frozen margaritas made easy:

Get a 6-oz can of frozen limeade concentrate from the grocery store and empty it into a standard size blender. Add one canful of tequila and half a canful of triple sec. Fill the blender with ice, blend, and serve.

EDIT: And this is a non-story. The only reason Obama's aunt is in the country is because she was the courier for some explosives that ACORN was smuggling to Bill Ayers and his terrorist friends in the secret mosque where Obama and Rev. Wright practice their America-damning religion.

The newsmedia went ape**** 8 years ago about a DUI over 20 years old for driving too slow. I guess whether such thing are a scandal or not depends on whether you have an (R) or a (D) next to your name. It's certainly not as scandalous as $150K to clothe Sarah Palin.

Horse's Neck

The key to a Horse's Neck is the lemon peel which hangs off the rim of the glass and resembles the neck of a horse hanging into the drink. Sometimes brandy is used instead.
· spiral lemon peel
2 oz bourbon
· 8 oz ginger ale
2-3 dashes Angostura bitters (optional)
Preparation:
1. Place the spiral lemon peel into a collins glass.
2. Secure one end of the peel over the lip of the glass.
3. Add ice cubes to the glass.
4. Pour in the bourbon and ginger ale.
5. Add a dash of bitters, if desired.
6. Stir well.

Recently had an "Italian Margarita" at an Olive Garden. Just a splash of Amaretto in a regular margarita, but pretty good actually.

Was it the candidate who got that DUI, or was it his half-aunt?

And Obama's half-brother is also living in a slum, nice to see how much Obama cares for family. But I know, Obama is really worried more about the rest of us, strangers concern him more than his own family members. Yeah, Obama feels your pain, sob sob. Keep on smoking that dope Obama supporters since you have to be on something for him to make sense.

Brilliant.

Here's an update if interested: http://www.rockymountainnews.com/new...-us-illegally/

And as a bonus there are some posters over there that might have something in common with some of the very special posters over in this thread. I will leave it up to you all to determine who I might be referencing.

The Anatomy of a Smear

By Zachary Roth - November 1, 2008, 11:40AM


Here's how the right's big eleventh-hour smear on Obama was carried out.
First the Murdoch-owned Times of London reported Thursday that Obama's aunt, Zeituni Onyango, is living in a Boston public-housing complex. It's unclear how the paper learned of the woman's presence in the U.S.
From there, the story quickly got taken up by the right-wing echo chamber. Fox News (also Murdoch-owned, of course), Drudge, the Boston Herald, and various conservative blogs -- as well as some mainstream outlets -- began breathlessly hyping the story.


But the Times had been unable to tie up one key detail. It reported:

The Times could not determine their immigration status and an official at Boston City Hall said that Ms Onyango was a resident of Flaherty Way but not registered to vote on the electoral roll. However, that Ms Onyango made a contribution to the Obama campaign would indicate that she is a US citizen.

But that was easily taken care of. The Associated Press was the first to confirm, in a story posted this morning, that Onyango is here illegally after her request for asylum was rejected by an immigration judge four years ago.


But note the way in which AP seems to have obtained the information. High up in the story, it reports:

Information about the deportation case was disclosed and confirmed by two separate sources, one a federal law enforcement official. The information they made available is known to officials in the federal government, but the AP could not establish whether anyone at a political level in the Bush administration or in the McCain campaign had been involved in its release.

In other words, it looks like someone in the Bush administration leaked the information, with the goal of throwing a last-minute wrench into Obama's campaign. And someone else confirmed it, with similar motives.

On the record, of course, the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, a unit of the Department of Homeland Security, is telling reporters it can't comment on any individual person's immigration status. It would appear to be a violation of department procedures, at the least, to leak such information.

We've seen this same tactic used recently by the Bush administration. Earlier this month, law enforcement sources leaked the news, also to the AP, that the FBI has begun a nationwide investigation into ACORN. Again, the obvious purpose of the leak was political -- to bolster a Republican campaign to stoke fears about voter fraud, in an effort to de-legitimize an Obama win. The Justice Department still has not confirmed the existence of the investigation.

The Repugnican crooks strike again. This is the most corrupt presidential administration since Nixon, and was an even greater slap in to the face of the American people.

Good Fugging riddance....
