Obama’s Aunt was a dirty trick
The Obama campaign has their smoke generators switched on. Politico reports that the Obama campaign thinks it’s a dirty trick by the McCain/Palin campaign;
News of Onyango’s legal status, which the AP confirmed through sources, including a federal law enforcement official, provided an unwelcome diversion for the Obama campaign during its final push toward Election Day and stoked suspicions among supporters of a political motive behind the timing of the leak.
“The American people are pretty sensible,” said Obama chief strategist David Axelrod, “and I think they are pretty suspicious of things that are dumped in the marketplace 72 hours before a campaign, so I am not concerned about that.”
Asked whether he was suggesting there were political motives from a Republican administration, Axelrod said: “I am not saying anything at this point.”
David Axelrod is the guy that influenced all of these astroturfers we’ve seen this year. If there was nothing to dump, it wouldn’t have been dumped. Is Axelrod hinting that no one noticed when Times Online released the story about his aunt living on the public dole? That they just hoped the whole thing would dissipate? Is Axelrod saying that the Associated Press, the organization which broke the illegal alien part of the story, is a McCain tool? That’s a friggin’ laugh.
Now we discover that his aunt went to Obama’s swearing-in ceremony just less than four years ago about the same time she was ordered to be deported. And, what? She just didn’t mention it?
Seems to me that a woman seeking refugee status would attempt to get her nephew the US Senator to pull a few strings for her…unless she did and he told her to stick it out until after presidential election to avoid the scandal.
AP also makes the point that the Democrats are in damage control – so desparate are they that Obama is seeking the advice of Harry “The Original Unimproved Submarine Screendoor” Reid;
Obama did not respond to questions shouted at him by members of the traveling press corps as he exited Caesars Palace hotel here Saturday morning with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) at his side.
So already he’s dodging questions. Maybe he’s hoping he can get some of the love like Clinton got for his scandal by dodging questions and appearing to be a victim of the VRWC. Thing is, Clinton was already elected and we couldn’t do much about him. Obama on the other hand….
By the way, has anyone pointed out that since she’s on public assistance, that $260 donation (that the campaign claims they returned today) was my money?

Yeah Jonn- I was so pissed about this, Ihave spent all day blogging. Here is what the COW supporters come up with…warning-put down any coffee or adult beverage, you just might spew. (my remarks in parentheses.)
He didn’t throw Auntie under the bus, he didn’t know.
(right, and Auntie has a nephew in the senate and she DOESN’T use that to her advantage?)
Or, this.
(Obama is showing us that charity does not begin at home. He threw Grandma under the bus and his Auntie had the gag order,but oops, didn’t work. So you want to trust what he tells you about looking out for the nation when he treats his own family like that?)Well, were you abandoned as a toddler? (Like that fukking matters!)
Or this…
Whis is worse? Joe getting investigated or Auntie 3 days from the election the reps do this! They’re desperate. (Last time I checked, being an illegal alien was a criminal thing and so is illegally investigating Joe W becuse your boy The COW showed his true colors when asked a genuine question.)
It goes on and on.
I think everyone should just let history be made!!!go Obama
