Whistling a Different Zeituni
Hey, Auntie Zeituni, can I have your apartment if you’re not using it?
Federal immigration officials couldn’t find her, but she was spotted by several media outlets and partygoers around the Beltway.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported:
Ohio Democrats put aside the state’s financial troubles and cold weather Sunday night to celebrate its part in electing Barack Obama to the White House.
Just a few blocks from Obama’s soon-to-be residence, elected officials, former officeholders, proud volunteers and party activists from the Buckeye State noshed and drank at the Renaissance Mayflower Hotel, a historic luxury hotel…
… One special guest who commanded attention at the party was Zeituni Onyango, 56, Obama’s aunt from Kenya who has been in this country illegally and is getting help in her immigration fight from another ball guest, Cleveland attorney Margaret Wong.
So President Obama claimed not be his auntie’s keeper, had no idea she was here illegally, illegally occupying public housing here in Boston, but he can reach out and find her and bring her to Washington under his personal imprimatur?
Remember when our presidents used to be embarrassed by their reprobate relatives? Donald Nixon. Billy Carter. Roger Clinton. But now we celebrate the first family’s, uh, black sheep as a victim who needs legal help in her “fight”.
What a great country.

These asshats bring shame upon my Buckeye state. But what else is new?
