WASHINGTON (AP) - Barack Obama's aunt, a Kenyan woman who has been quietly living in public housing in Boston, is in the United States illegally after an immigration judge rejected her request for asylum four years ago, The Associated Press has learned.

Zeituni Onyango, 56, referred to as "Aunti Zeituni" in Obama's memoir, was instructed to leave the United States by a U.S. immigration judge who denied her asylum request, a person familiar with the matter told the AP late Friday. This person spoke on condition of anonymity because no one was authorized to discuss Onyango's case

Obama says he didn't know aunt's illegal status

By Nedra Pickler, Associated Press Writer

CHICAGO – Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama said Saturday he didn't know his aunt was living in the United States illegally and believes that laws covering the situation should be followed.

The Associated Press found that Obama's aunt had been instructed to leave the country four years ago by an immigration judge who rejected her request for asylum from her native Kenya. The woman, Zeituni Onyango (zay-TUHN on-YANG-oh), is living in public housing in Boston and is the half-sister of Obama's late father.

A statement given to the AP by Obama's campaign said, "Senator Obama has no knowledge of her status but obviously believes that any and all appropriate laws be followed."

The campaign said it was returning $260 that Onyango had contributed in small increments to Obama's presidential bid over several months. Federal election law prohibits foreigners from making political donations. Onyango listed her employer as the Boston Housing Authority and last gave $5 on Sept. 19.

Onyango, 56, is part of Obama's large paternal family, with many related to him by blood whom he never knew growing up.

Obama's father, Barack Obama Sr., left the future presidential nominee when the boy was 2, and they reunited only once — for a monthlong visit when Obama was 10. The elder Obama lived most of his life in Kenya, where he fathered seven other children with three other wives. He died in a car crash in 1982. [More]

Following the law means deporting "Auntie" Zeituni. Does anyone believe it will happen? Would Obama enforce immigration laws if elected?

The Moribund Stream Media do not seem interested to ask if Obama plans to spread any of his own wealth around to benefit "Auntie" Zeituni.

More Lies from the Obamamedia

Secret Service Says "Kill Him" Allegation Unfounded

By Andrew M. Seder

Staff Writer

SCRANTON – The agent in charge of the Secret Service field office in Scranton said allegations that someone yelled “kill him” when presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s name was mentioned during Tuesday’s Sarah Palin rally are unfounded.

The Scranton Times-Tribune first reported the alleged incident on its Web site Tuesday and then again in its print edition Wednesday. The first story, written by reporter David Singleton, appeared with allegations that while congressional candidate Chris Hackett was addressing the crowd and mentioned Obama’s name a man in the audience shouted “kill him."

News organizations including ABC, The Associated Press, The Washington Monthly and MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann reported the claim, with most attributing the allegations to the Times-Tribune story.

Agent Bill Slavoski said he was in the audience, along with an undisclosed number of additional secret service agents and other law enforcement officers and not one heard the comment.

“I was baffled,” he said after reading the report in Wednesday’s Times-Tribune.

He said the agency conducted an investigation Wednesday, after seeing the story, and could not find one person to corroborate the allegation other than Singleton.

It figures. One of the many lies that Obama told during the debate had to do with this story. The characterization that Republican rallies, particularly running mate Sarah Palin's, are Obama hatefests is patently untrue as this story clearly shows. I wonder if the Secret Service will charge Mr. Singleton. They should.

Moreover, I doubt that Olbermann and all other media liars in the sack for Obama will report the findings of the Secret Service.

Media loves to hate Sarah Palin
By Howie Carr
Sunday, September 7, 2008 - Added 4h ago

The Beautiful People just won’t let up on Sarah Palin.

It’s become a regular “60 Minutes”/Texas Air National Guard feeding frenzy of bogus reporting out there. The whoppers about Palin are piled up so high in the moribund mainstream media that the wrinkly newsreaders have taken to blaming their most scurrilous, sexist screw-ups on those nefarious unnamed left-wing “bloggers” - you know, like Brian Williams.

Why do the pampered poodles of the elite media loathe Sarah so much? Let’s go down the list.

She’s only 44 years old. She’s just not seasoned enough - and if you don’t believe me, just ask Gloria Steinem, age 74, or Barbara Walters, age 78, or Sally Quinn, age 67, or Eleanor Clift, age 68, or Andrea Mitchell, age 61, or Gail Collins, age 62.

Why, up on the stage, it has been noted that you can distinguish Sarah’s ankles from her calves. She’s never had a Botox injection. The hags of the Hamptons speak as one on this issue. Snow White Palin must be stopped. Anybody got a poisoned apple? [More]

Palin has become the focus of liberal angst, hate, resentment, envy and overall insanity. The lies and rumors, some perpetuated by the MSM (or is it the MMM, as Carr puts it?) are beyond the pale.

There is the Trig-is-really-Bristol's-baby lie. Then there is the book banning rumor, also a lie.

Palin belonged to an Alaskan separatist party. Another bald-faced lie.

If there's still any doubt in anyone's mind that McCain made the right choice of running mate, look at Keith Olberman's, Chris Mathews', Brian Williams', Tom Brokaw's and every other member of the MMM's viscerally negative reaction to Palin.

Über blogger Michelle Malkin and others are calling it Palin Derangement Syndrome (P.D.S.). Appropriately so. Liberal Democrats and their surrogates in the MMM must be extremely afraid of Palin. And it's not just about the 2008 election. They want to make sure their darling Hillary won't face a popular, energetic and lovable female presidential candidate or, knock on wood, incumbent president in 2012.
