But McCain said he knows how to get him! So why doesn't he tell GWB or is he waiting until it's convenient?

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama didn't know his aunt might be living illegally in the United States, as media outlets are reporting, his campaign said Saturday.

The half-sister of Sen. Barack Obama's Kenyan father reportedly lives in this complex in South Boston.

"Sen. Obama has no knowledge of her status but obviously believes that any and all appropriate laws [should] be followed," campaign spokesman Bill Burton said.

According to The Associated Press, a court refused four years ago to accept the asylum application of Zeituni Onyango, 56, the half-sister of Obama's Kenyan father. However, she has continued to live in a public housing complex in South Boston, AP reported.

Onyango's refusal to leave the country would be an administrative violation, not a criminal matter.

CNN has not been able to independently verify her immigration status. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Kelly Nantel said the agency "is prohibited from commenting on any individual's status."

Democratic U.S. Rep. John Conyers of Michigan fired off a letter asking Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff to investigate whether someone leaked the information to the media in an effort to damage Obama.

"The AP reports that it 'could not establish whether anyone at a political level in the Bush administration or in the McCain campaign had been involved,' a very disturbing (suggestion) indeed," read the letter from Conyers, who is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

The Department of Homeland Security had no immediate response to the letter.

I have aunts and cousins that I haven't seen in close to 30 years. These are the sisters of the father that I lived with for my entire childhood. I am unaware of any of the details of their lives, but I'm quite certain that I'm not responsible for them in any way.

Straws.

Grasping.

And if they need government assistance, I'm responsible for them instead.

Did you vote for Bush in 2004? He didn't care where Osama was then. Why do you suddenly care now?

Then I guess BO won't be the least concerned if...

A. The aunt is deported promptly
B. The aunt is thrown in jail

And if I were running for president, I would make sure any and all family members/relatives are up to snuff.

She is a half sister of Obama's father who as far as we know only saw Obama one time when he age 10 and went to Kenya to see his father and his father's family.

How? You really would like to be held responsible for them? Heck, isn't here some skeleton's in every family closet?

It still remains that she is an illegal living in the USA. She was told to leave four years ago. Seems like it should be deportation or prison at this point.

 

[minnie61650]

She attended his swearing-in ceremony to the U.S. Senate in 2004.

McCain might as well be Bush, that's the problem...he disagreed a whopping 10% of the time!!

I believe that in the full article you quoted Obama said he expect the rules and laws to be followed. Doesn't sound like he is asking for special treatment.

 

[Pin Wizard]

But McCain said he knows how to get him! So why doesn't he tell GWB or is he waiting until it's convenient?

Hmmmm...I can relate. He's saving it for his presidency. Kind of like me no longer offering comments or suggestions in department meetings until the present manager leaves on 11/8! Will save the good stuff for the new manager.
