Foreign Media Finds Obama's Aunt... In a Boston Slum

Barack wrote about his dear Aunt Onyango in his first book "Dreams of
My Father."
That was before she ended up in a Boston slum.
Thankfully, the foreign press was able to track her down

Barack Obama has lived one version of the American Dream that has
taken him to the steps of the White House. But a few miles from where
the Democratic presidential candidate studied at Harvard, his Kenyan
aunt and uncle, immigrants living in modest circumstances in Boston,
have a contrasting American story.

Zeituni Onyango, the aunt so affectionately described in Mr Obama’s
best-selling memoir Dreams from My Father, lives in a disabled-access
flat on a rundown public housing estate in South Boston.

A second relative believed to be the long-lost “Uncle Omar” described
in the book was beaten by armed robbers with a “sawed-off rifle” while
working in a corner shop in the Dorchester area of the city. He was
later evicted from his one-bedroom flat for failing to pay $2,324.20
(£1,488) arrears, according to the Boston Housing Court.

The US press has repeatedly rehearsed Mr Obama’s extraordinary
odyssey, but the other side of the family’s American experience has
only been revealed in parts. Just across town from where Mr Obama made
history as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, some
of his closest blood relatives have confronted the harshness of
immigrant life in America.
Once again-- It was a foreign news agency that discovered this story
on Barack Obama's family members.

Obama owes them nothing. He only met his own father once for a one month
period.

Obama is rich. He has millions. He has family all over the world
and in the US who are dirt poor. What ever happened to the
responsibly for your own first? I hear Democrats screaming that
America should get out of Iraq and help hurting Americans. Doesn't
that apply to Obama? Shouldn't he be helping his own family before
he promises to help everyone else's?

Here's an idea that any state can run with if it thinks it makes
sense. How about when times are good, instead of expanding the
state's budget so much, which just makes it harder to pay for when
times get bad again, start to get ahead of the curve by saving.
Eventually you could have a quarter then half a year and then
finally an entire budget year of funds socked away drawing interest
and ready for spending. You'd know what you had and wouldn't have
to estimate. What a concept!

You don't expect THEM to live by their words, do you? According to the
leftist elite, rules are for the masses, who need to be guided; not
for the enlightened few.

Where did he get millions? This is news to me.
