Because the left does it, that makes it ok then, is that it? I no more approve of that incident then I do this one, or the magnifying glass Palin's family received in 2008 or any other such thing. Personal attacks of this scale display a clear inability to distinguish between the personal and professional. I like to think better than that of people, especially those who share many of my political stances.
As much as we like to pretend this is a new thing, the families of presidents have been fair game for quite some time. It was news when Grover Cleveland got married as a sitting president. Jackson's "hill-billy" family and friends were the targets or riddicule. Franklin Roosevelt married his cousin... Lincoln's wife was batshit crazy... To keep the media from crucifying his brother LBJ "hired" him to work at that White House... JFK had an alcoholic brother that killed a woman while driving drunk...

Oh and BTW, apparently he also has an Aunt in boston living in public housing that was also here illegally....she was granted assylum thogh...

There's history in it sure, there's a history of slave ownership also...

And Jefferson banging slaves.... And? You claim this isn't news. It is. Not really important news but news none-the-less. I agree that there should be boundaries and limits to the invasion into the personal lives of the families of public figures but when they cross the line into illegal activity, that boundary vanishes. Besides, this cat is an adult not a child so IMHO, he is fair game...

It's paparazzi garbage with politics intermuddled. Might as well throw in a picture of "Bat Boy" in a wedding dress with Joe Biden for all it's worth. Take away the celebrity and take away the politics and this story becomes what? Likely a police report that doesn't make a back page of a local newspaper.

Agreed. I also don't think it reflects on the President himself either negatively or positively. It just is. The reason it made NATIONAL news is just because of the association. It isn't important news but it IS news.

That's fair enough, and so is the other garbage that is spewed so readily these days. I for one wouldn't waste more concern for this than I would for the current state of the Kardashian's.

I actually feel this IS worthy news to be up. That he is illegally here, has a SSN (more than likely paid for) and has been on a deportation order for over 2 years is telling that someone is pulling strings.
In fact, I'll bet its the same bastard pulling strings for those 20 million or so Mexicans we have in the country illegally.

*GASP* - you don't think Obama is a... closet Mexican... is he? Good Lord. A closet Kenyan Muslim AND a Mexican. We have a serious problem.
