A week and no one noticed that Obama's uncle is in jail for an ORI and being held without bail because apparently he is in the country illegally?

Sure Obama will review the case and throw it out. No need for another black man in jail.

This is paparazzi stuff boys, you're better than this.

Better than what? Commenting on something this funny? He wanted to call the White House to arrange bail!! Didn't Clinton have a brother that kept getting Dwobbleys? I also think Carter did too...in fact I THINK Carter's brother brewed his own beer there for a while. Billy Beer?
I don't think it is any reflection on Obama, I just thought it was amusing and it DOES relate to him (literally)...

This is just more fuel for the Obama is not a citizen groups...

Quoted for Truth, it's pointless, derailing, unnecessary drivel and not really that humorous either. Obama criticizing George W. Bush for increasing spending levels by X amount of dollars in 8 years to mirror that increase in a third of that, and referring to it as "unpatriotic" I say have field day with. Going after relatives who are not even directly affiliated with his politics is just pointless, classless, and stupid, only serving as one extra needle to poke the people who disagree with you in the eye.

I don't see how....you could have a Canadian uncle, that doesn't make you Canadian does it?

Common Sense doesnt apply to those people. You would have to ask them that question and I hope for my sake that no one on these boards is part of it.

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.

...apparently you are not all that aware of the illegal immigration problem we have going on.

And I'll add to that, how many of these make headline national news?

[girlsround]

He we go:

Uncle Omar

It should be news because it is related (literally) to the man in the Whitehouse.

Most of the MSM is ignoring this in their reverent awe of his Majesty.

[g4YthYXx]

And I'll add to that, how many of these make headline national news?

How many are related to the President and want to call the White House to post bail?

As soon as our taxpayer dollars are used to bail this fellow out as a result of nepotism I'll raise an eyebrow, until then it's none of our damn business.

Bull.

How did the left attempt to crucify the Bush twins for drinking?

Anyway - illegal alien avoiding deportation since 92, fake SSN (felony?), and now OUI........

Good ol' Uncle Omar!

[ZIZITOPER]

I have to admit to a certain amount of glee at the karma being delievered here.....................

Of course I see that every day in the hypocrisy that is US politics.

Other than that I could give a shyte.

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.

Yes....

[Chiquita]

I don't think it should be news because he's Obama's uncle (half-uncle at that). It should be news to highlight the problem we have with illegal immigration and show how easy it is for someone to be in this country illegally.

If he wasn't related to the Pres. - it wouldn't have been in the news at all. But I heard about it when it happened and though oh well, another illegal immigrant.

I don't think that Pres. Obama really even talks to his biological father's relatives much does he? I thought he had distanced himself from them once.

[GVsdJZ2H]

Being in the past year i have heard over a dozen and a half stories on illegals busted for DUI (sometimes their third or more), i feel it would still have made news without his Obama family connection.
