That was not the Tony Rezko I knew.
That was not the Bill Ayers I knew.
That was not the Jeremiah Wright I knew.
Now it's his aunt that he didn't know was in the country illegally.
Athena Jones, an embedded reporter with the barry camp broke the story on MSNBC. The aunt barry (his father's half sister) says he knows nothing about - even though he wrote about her in his "memoir". Evidently she sought asylum four years ago, which was not granted. Who was she seeking it from and for what reason? There has to be a record somewhere of his connection. Nothing is ever a coincidence with barry.
I don't know yet how she got here - who sponsored her or paid her way here. How with whom is she living? Is she on public aid? How and why did the story initially break? What has taken the Republicans so long? Maybe it was a neighbor who was a little short on funds. Maybe it was a disgruntled Hillaryite whose been going through the donor records for months.
Anyway she has been living in public housing in Boston and had donated $260 in multiple increments her cousin's campaign - unbeknownst to him of course, which they are going to return like all the illegal funds they have taken. How is he going to manage the free world when he has no knowledge of anything that comes up? How long does he think that is going to work? I guess as long as the pro-obama media doesn't turn on him. The press questioned him about it several days ago and they declined to comment until today.
Senator Obama has no knowledge of her status but obviously believes that any and all appropriate laws be followed.
When asked, McCain camp said no comment - it's a family matter.
UPDATE:
Bill Burton on Hardball just admitted that barry and his aunt Zeituni Onyango, 56, "have talked from time to time" and that barry was indeed the one "who sponsored her nine years ago to visit the Obama family in Chicago". Where has she been between nine years ago and four years ago? Barry, a constitutional lawyer, doesn't keep track of her after that? He did not know that his aunt was "in the country illegally" which is obamanator for he did in fact know she was in the country and did nothing about it.
Now you know why barry said yesterday: "It's gonna get nasty, I'm sure, in the next four days." How stupid do they think the nonbelievers are?
CNN:
AXELROD: The campaign issued a statement on that and I don't have anything more to add to it, other than I think people are suspicious about stories that surface in the last 72 hours of a national campaign… I think that they're going to take that, they're going to put it in that context.
...House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers of Michigan questioned both the timing and the source of the news Saturday, sending a public letter to Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff requesting an investigation.
...the AP reports that it 'could not establish whether anyoneat a political level in the Bush administration or in the McCain campaign had been involved,' a very disturbing (suggestion) indeed. This leak is deplorable and I urge you to take immediate action to investigate and discipline those responsible.
Surprising: "The Clinton's" were not the first ones being blamed. And has barry thanked them in any of his hourly interviews?
Barry knew she was here. She knew she was giving him money. He has some sort of paper trail of funds to her. He may even have had a connection to her housing arrangements. He knew it was coming. He knows there is more but knows it will not be revealed in time.
Would barry have passed a security clearance if he wasn't already in the senate? How did he get there in the first place? What kind of Secret Service do we have if they don't know all these things? My guess is that they know but don't care either. I wonder which job is more difficult - protecting Bush or Obama? My guess is Bush.
