Woman Claiming to Be Obama’s ‘Aunt Zeituni’ Lives in South Boston Public Housing

“It’s pretty astounding that we’ve made it this far with so little known about them.”
Oh, Jake, I didn’t know you had it in you!
That little jab…. the little poke at the media… that was really, really good.
I’m still laughing.
Really. That’s the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time!

Concerned in OH
Obama’s father had a completely second family. He didn’t even meet his grandmother on his father side until he graduated from college.

The Times of London: “…that Ms Onyango made a contribution to the Obama campaign would indicate that she is a US citizen.”
Three of the donations were for $5 apiece, and two of the donations
were for $25. She listed her job as a volunteer resident health
advocate. (Six hours a week?) Other records show she gave a total of $260 to the campaign.
Can you confirm, Jake, her naturalization after eight years of moving stateside? Did she make her contribution in cash? Or was she able to contribute because the AVS for credit cards was turned off on Barack Obama’s website?
Thank you!
(To the intern / assistant, too!)

Next Wednesday morning, you will see TV footage from Obama’s coronation event in Chicago’s Grant Park showing hysterical, weeping, cavorting, fighting, swearing Obama Kool-Aid kids who are angry and confused that The Marxist One and his merry band of America-haters, terrorists, racists and felons lost.
Beginning next week, when Americans talk about colossal failures they will mention the movies Ishtar and Heaven’s Gate — and they will mention Obama.
Obama is a bad, bad news for America

and just as odd that we only recently found out that Cindy McCain is NOT an only child as she has stated time and time again for the record…….

Just goes to show you the media hasn’t bothered to do the proper vetting of Obama.
As for his second family, I guess once he “spreads the wealth” around they will be able to move into his neighborhood.

Yes, many of us DO have extended family that we don’t see often. We may even have poor family members that would be too proud to accept financial help.
What we don’t have are family members like those described in your post or described above that we have exploited in books we’ve written. Obama’s brother, aunt, uncle, Kenyan grandmother–all were written about in his book–and then poof.
Even “Toot”, his grandmother who Obama wasn’t sure would survive until the election — we have not heard anything from the prying media since his election-suspending trek to her bedside in Hawaii. Why not, Jake? Surely this is as important as Joe the Plumbers child support information or Trig Palin’s paternity, isn’t it? Surely such private, sensitive family matters shouldn’t be public for only one party….or should they?

I wonder what the reaction would have been if his relatives were wealthy. Would that have been more acceptable to America? But poor African relations is scandalous– a true detriment to the country, right?
Good people are both rich and poor. Character isn’t synonymous with economic class. Wealth isn’t synonymous to happiness. Perhaps from Mr. Obama his “poverty stricken” relatives receive something more valuable than cash: Pride.

Editor,
misspelling in “long-last aunt”

Poor auntie isn’t allowed to talk about nephew Obama (D-ACORN) until after the November 4 election.
LA Times tape – won’t release
Auntie – won’t talk till after Nov 4
Grandma in Kenya – won’t talk till after Nov 4
Bill Ayers – won’t talk till after Nov 4
Kalldl – won’t talk till after Nov 4
See a pattern here?
Where’s the transparency Lefties?

John McCain and Cindy McCain need to take a look at Mr McCain firs wife the neglected as well as Cindy McCain sister living in poverty despite her millions.

Last time I heard alleged Aunt Zeituni was not running for president

You ask why we don’t hear more about Obama’s family. What about McCains’ 1st wife Carol who he cheated on divorced and married. She was a model who was in a car crash while he was in Vietnam and disfigured (by the way he volunteered to go because he was bored with domestic life) and was not the beauty (arm candy) wife. Seems he was not to faithful earlier in the marriage also.

Barack only met his own father ONCE!
Why should he have anything to do with the family of the man who abandoned him?
I barely know my own father’s family and he did not abandon me, it was the distance that kept us from knowing his family.

Dear Leader Chairman Maubama,
If some of you actually bothered to read the article, the last time Obama met them was in Kenya.
In his book, he said his uncle left for America and just stopped writing letters one day with him and his other relatives.
The last time Obama met his aunt was in Kenya, and it is uncertain as to whether he even knew they had come to America or where they were living.

They are the Matt Drudge fanatics drinking their koolaid!!!!. Nothing seem to stick on Obama. is this the October surprise…….

Dear Leader Chairman Maubama,
Would it comfort you to know that these were the same tax levels as under Reagan? He’s just reversing the disaster that is Bush.

Get a life McCain supporters. McCain has neglected his wife and Cindy McCain direct sister Kathleen Portalski is living in the slum..

I think Cindy and John McCain should provide shelter to Aunty Lou and katleen and their many relatives living in the slum since they have more than 7 houses.

Seems he was not to faithful earlier in the marriage also.
We have heard it. For years that news has been out there. Even recently, McCain acknowledged he messed up on that issue, and apologized. When have we heard Obama apologize?
Did you watch the RNC? McCains children were with him. ALL of his children, even from his first marriage, supporting their dad.
His wife Carol has publicly said she forgave him, and that after her accident, and his time as a POW , it changed the both of them. She admits she still loved him, but she understood, and forgave him…years ago.
That’s old news…this is new news.

Jeanie,
Go read the article.
Obama last saw them in Kenya, possibly he did not even know they had moved to America.
And he actually went to a great effort to locate his relatives in Kenya although he was abandoned by his father, unlike Cindy who has not even acknowledged the presence of her half-sister.

Economy in the biggest mess since the 1920′s.
Income disparity the greatest since The Gilded Age.
Osama roaming the hills of Pakistan and plotting future attacks.
Unemployment rising.
Home forclosures at record breaking levels.
Fighting two wars at the same time with thousands of young Americans dead or injured.

Failing public education system.

No wonder the wing nuts want to focus on this kind of nonsense and conspiracy theories about birth certificates and who said what to whom at a party. Distract, divide, distort and lie. It aint gonna work this time.

Why a surprise?
He is capable of leaving his bro living at $1 per month, while he shelters millions without contributing to his cause for the Common Good of the Society. Why should he care about his aunt, who is even an extra generation different?
0bama is capable of ignoring his brother and aunt in poverty and homelss. You think he will really take good care of you, you poor, less-educated people. Haven’t you been had by his Harvard smart!

JERUSALEM: An Israeli pollster says that if the country were on the U.S. election map, it would be bright red.
A survey of Americans in the Holy Land released Thursday found that absentee voters supported Republican John McCain over Barack Obama by a three-to-one margin.
Nice!

Brooklyn Democrat ,
The pint to this story is actually very very simple. Obama wants people to give up part of what they warked hard for, in order to help out those with less. BUT, what has he done to help out his own faimly members? Certainly he could have helped these people, but no, he decided he needed a 300K home, and took care of his immediate family. I think that is fine, and not a problem until you run for president and tell the country its time for those who have more to give to those who have less.
A few questions here…
What exactly is the “Exit Strategy” for this very expensive plan?
Is this a one time deal? A 5 yrs plan, or even longer?
What and Who determines that we have lifted to lowest 1% of the society up far enough?

It seems all that talk about being my bothers & sisters keeper was just talk.
Another fine example of the Golden Rule of The Liberal :
“DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO”

“It’s pretty astounding that we’ve made it this far with so little known about them.”…no it isnt Jake! If you and your peers had done your jobs instead fawning over this guy and drooling in his birthday cake, you would be shocked at what the truth is!

yeah, right. and how’s his grandmother doing — the one that he urgently had to get out to Hawaii to see? seems we never really heard too much about her, either.

The economy is bad because of bad decisions. Like deciding the right to have a home for everyone, whether they could pay for it, or not, and ignoring the warnings, and calls to reform, and restriction. It’s documented.
The Unemployment rising is due to my prior paragraph. The economy went flop, and jobs are lost. Raise taxes, and watch that number double.
Terrorism needs to be dealt with. I agree…but more people were killed in Chicago this year alone, in Obama’s district, then in Iraq, this year. But I also fear putting a man in office, who in his book said, if it came down to it, he’d side with the Islamics.
Obama supports the teachers unions, and when you get a bad teacher in your school, the union protects the teacher, not the student. The teachers jobs will be secure, no matter what. Competition in schools will improve the public school system, quickly.
I agree on our infrastructure….so pork barrel projects need to end, and submit a bigger amount, of what’s saved from cutting pork spending into our infrastructure.
I know what Obama has said about tax cuts, but I know what Barney Franks said as well. They will raise taxes next year, on everyone. It’s possible in order to protect Obama’s word, that congress will vote this way, if they have a Dem majority…thus saving Obama from being the fall guy…but according to his senate records , he votes yay on almost all tax hikes. He even wanted another 18 cents added to the federal gas tax, when gas was high.
National health care? Not the answer.
I have some friends in the UK, and it’s rough. You wait a long time for health care. That’s not fear mongering, that’s fact. It’s not all it’s chalked up to be.
Remember earlier this year, a story ran, about Canadian women being transported here to give birth, because there was no place for them to go, in Canada. It’s not a great system. Not in my opinion. There are answers, but I don’t want to rely on government for them.
Now they want to take 401k’s and make Government mandates on our retirements. They’ll dole out to us, as they see fit.
Remember earlier this year, (name escapes me) but a female Senator saying she wanted to nationalize oil companies?
Venezuela did that, and now, the price has plummeted, and the economy is worse. Europe where it’s socialist…there economies are worse than ours right now.
I’m well aware of the issues, but higher taxes (and they will come) if not from Obama, from an all Democratic congress. Many many things will come under government control. That scares me more than anything, and this is why the world seems so eager for Obama.
No thank you! I respectfully decline from that.

I know where he is coming from. It is very common today. I remember when my father passed away, he traveled for his job. We have 3 half sisters and brother, we have only spoke briefly to one on the phone years ago. There are 6 kids in my family, none of us have, nor do we care, to get to know the other ones. They have their lives and we have had ours.
Hope no surprises come your way.

Mike_C: Cindy’s half sister was interviewed, I watched it. And yes, Cindy took all the money and ran. Her sister only got $10,000.

“It’s pretty astounding that we’ve made it this far with so little known about them.”
Why? The MSM is not interested in getting to the bottom of stories that might expose their candidate. They’re too busy critiquing Sarah Palin’s wardrobe and peeking into her uterus.

What do we really know about this guy?

I guess this opinion page, doesn’t want the word getting out about the repurcussioins of government run health care, or the fact that Obama is asking for more money for his campaign.
I’m just doing your job…and I get labled a fascists. How ironic. LOL

Mike C -
We’ve had a progressive income tax system in this country since 1910. It has always redistributed income. No one’s called it “socialist” or “collectivist” until the McCain/Palin stunt-of the-day tour began.
Obama will not extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. This would put the top marginal rate back at the level it was during the Clinton administration (a 3-4% increase). All of us did pretty well between 1992-2000.
In 2001 McCain voted against the Bush cuts that he’s now apparently championing. He called them “irresponsible” and said that tax relief should have been directed toward the middle class.
Since this is now precisely Obama’s position, it’s a little hard to understand how something that McCain opposed in 2001 is “socialistic” and “redistributionist” when Obama opposes it in 2008.
Under Obama’s plan somewhere between 80-95% of working American families would get tax relief. Eight years of trickle down hasn’t worked. Most of the country is ready to try trickling up.
I don’t care any more about Obama’s relationship with his extended-extended family than I care about Cindy McCain’s relationships with her half sisters. That’s their business.

WHY is this news? This article and the hundreds of copies on the internet will spark debate over NOTHING.

So….this is about as relevant as Cindy McCain claiming to be an only child, but had 2 other Sisters, one who has recently passed away. We can’t help who our relatives are. And, we don’t have to claim any of them.

Jeanie go and do some homework. That tax plan Obama is proposing worked under Clinton or did you forget how well we were doing or don’t want to remember! You are afraid that the Democrats are going to clean things up once again and put us all on straight street and the Republicans will be forgotten about just like they should be. They have their small little circle, so stay within that because the rest of us are her to grow!

** No whats she’s scared of is a better world w/out the Republicans in office! Thats sad of her because if she would open her eyes she would see the divisive nature of the republican ticket. It makes them mad that the democrats are promoting peace and prosperity because that’s not their mind frame. Their mind frame is ‘by all means necessary’ and then they hide their convictions behind the word of God. Those people are who we call hypocrites, right Jeanie?

“They want to put the ban back on drilling, and that will drive the price of oil high. Why do they want us so dependent on others?”
1) Have you not noticed how far the price of oil has dropped as the DOW has plummeted? It has nothing to do with how much oil we can produce in this country. It had everything to do with oil price speculation in the market.
2) Obama has proposed more in terms of weaning this country off of foreign oil than McCain. Drilling, baby, drilling won’t solve anything, except that in 7-10 years a little more oil will be on the world market. You’re naive if you think it will affect the price at all.
“I’ve seen how well government has handled Social Security. I really don’t want to trust them with my health, or retirement.”
Yeah, too bad Bush and McCain didn’t get to put it into the stock market a few years ago. It would have been great watching all of those retirees lose EVERYTHING this last six weeks so that Bush’s buddies on Wall Street could have made a few more billions.

It is not astounding to us….we know why we have made it thus far with so little information….those who are suppose to be informing us in an unbiased manner on both party tickets have neglected their favorite, Obama..little to almost no negative reporting…..and have over investigated and gave slanted reporting on McCain and Palin. It is so obvious at this stage who could be astonished?

This article does reveal Obama’s life has very much been the low-average life. He knows the struggles of climbing to the top. When he was labeled “elite” – ridiculous!!
These examples make his story even more remarkable. Obama is an extraordinary man who may be one of the greatest Presidents ever.

I am beginning to believe that this guy really doesn’t know who he is…he has lied so much he probably doesn’t know who his dad is/was. He has written his life story and the believers just can’t buy the story. More relatives will come out of the woodpile to claim their booty if he is elected.

Cindy McCain direct sister Kathleen Portalski is living in the slum..
___
Since when is a modest house in Phoenix a slum? And how praytell is it Cindy McCain’s fault that her father made out his will and chose to give only 10,000 to her half sister Kathleen?

Just so those ppl posting here don’t get too discouraged. Obama the lawyer who worked for the slum landlord so he can “buy” a huge palatial mansion a few blocks from Farrakhan, Bill Ayers and Rev Wright. When he takes off his Hartmarx custom made suits he is a con man through and through — you’ll all see soon enough! As time goes by, more will come over to the light…give ‘em time!

————————————-
This guy really did have low-average life. Excuse me while I throw-up. He had help all the way from many savory characters, ie, wright, ayers, resko, his wife and many others. If these guys are any indication….he will be a great president only if he writes the history books.

Things like this put “vote early” in perspective. I think Obama knew some issues were coming to light and needs people to vote before they find out too much about him.
So he can tell everyone ELSE to spread the wealth but given his own choice he doesn’t even help his own family. What a role model.

Sharonklim, you really don’t know anything about your candidate – do you? He went to an elite private high school in Hawaii, paid for by his grandparents. There is no evidence that he worked through college. Had a couple of low level summer jobs.
Obama is very charasmatic. A lot of well connected people in Chicago took him under their wing and promoted his career. They didn’t actually require him to do anything to benefit the taxpayers or his constituents, in any job he had. His record shows that he barely showed up and when he did, he didn’t do anything noteworthy. Actually, Michelle Obama probably comes from more modest means and grew up in a crime infested neighborhood. Her obstacles were likely greater, but she did come from a two parent household.
Obama supporters hopefully understand that his only accomplishment his is own advancement. Maybe that is good enough. I guess we will have to see.

whut about mccain’s black side of his family…

Mark OK writes, “Obama supporters hopefully understand that his only accomplishment his is own advancement.”
====================================
I don’t know Mary. I think they’re too preoccupied with his obtaining scholarships to attend college, graduating from Columbia, Harvard Law, teaching at the University of Chicago (clearly a school for dummies), being a community organizer, State Legistlator for 7 years and a U.S. Senator for two.
If his resume screams “accomplished zip” maybe you would like to tell us what you or anyone for that matter in your family has accomplished?
Anything remotely comparable? Well? Didn’t think so. Good comedy to say the least.

Dare Nigeria
At least I found some sound and decent minded contributor of this page. I was very surprise out of our view of the Americans that they are full of hatred, divisiveness, mongerers, and ignorance. From where I came from we have a high regards whether it is a white or a black skin as long as they are Americans. We thought that they are extra ordinary intilegent individuals but for what I mostly encountered here I felt shame of them to my countrymen. They will bring this country down to their knees if they don’t use their common sense. What a waste this kind of people.

“Jake, this is a surprisingly aggressive hit piece, even for you. And it reads suspiciously like it was written by someone else, from the right-wing noise machine.”
Diehard Obama supporters and justifiers don’t get it. To me if you want to have a “spread the wealth” mentality maybe you should actually help your family not leave them poor meanwhile dealing with corrupt individuals to get $300,000 off your house and not contribute much to charity.
However I do think a significant portion of liberals think this way (not all). Left to their own personal choice they are greedy and selfish not contributing to charities or helping people when they’re able. However it is good for their conscience to have politics to force everyone else to share their wealth because then they can convince themselves they’re helping others and continue doing nothing for anyone else personally.

If Obama had 7 houses like McCain, maybe he could help his long lost kin.
Cindy McCain won’t even give her half sisters part of their father’s estate. She and McCain kept it all.
So, let’s not start talkin family values.

This whole deal about Obama’s Aunt has me wondering if Obama himself is actually here illegally. If there is a coverup of some sort in effect, I want the public to know.
In addition, because of this insult to American political integrity I am calling for an IMMEDIATE boycott of early voting, absentee balloting and election day turnout UNLESS Barack Obama resigns from his campaign. NO EXCEPTIONS, AMERICA: Your political integrity may well be at risk.

I am sure trickle up poverty will be a good substitute for jobs and opportunity. In two years the Democratic congress will be the most hated ogranization in the land. In four it will be the administration, no matter who is elected.

Obama had no idea the Jeremiah Wright is so divisive, so i wouldn’t expect him to know that his Auntie is even alive.

“Barak Obama is for USA worked out in making history from his honest dedication as a democratic political leader in a natural condition of family value and where ever they are they are proud and love him as the peace loving people loves him inside & outside of this Great-USA that is the turning point to breath the fresh air of Freedom and Democracy”
