The Obama detractors are at it again, Illegal immigration is their supposed tool of destruction. Illegal immigration is a hot and emotive topic in the US and considering the presidential polls at the moment, improper management of this issue could dampen SOME Obama voters’ confidence and negatively reflect on the polls on Tuesday November 4.
Olofofos’ (Sources\rumours) believe that Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has been dealt a blow in its closing days by the revelation that a close relative is an illegal immigrant in the US.
Zeituni Onyango, 56, is a half sister to Obama late father. She was ordered to leave the country four years ago after being denied political asylum but currently lives in Boston.
Barack Obama’s White House campaign said Saturday it was returning a small donation from his Boston-based Kenyan aunt after questions were raised over her US immigration status.
Aides said Obama had not been in touch with his late father’s sister, Zeituni Onyango, 56, for at least four years, and questioned reporting about her residency status so close to Tuesday’s election against Republican John McCain.Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt said the campaign was returning 265 dollars donated by the aunt to her nephew’s White House bid.Foreigners cannot donate money to US presidential candidates. But aides refused to say whether returning the money was an acknowledgement that the aunt was an illegal alien.
“Given the information that has been brought to our attention, the contributions are being refunded,” LaBolt said in a statement, without elaborating.Obama’s chief strategist David Axelrod would not comment on the aunt’s immigration status but said Obama last met her for sure at his Senate inauguration ceremony in 2004. “It’s not a real close relationship. They have not been in close touch,” he told reporters after Obama addressed 15,000 supporters in Henderson, Nevada.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrat Barack Obama's lead over Republican rival John McCain firmed marginally to 6 points with support for both candidates steady before Tuesday's U.S. presidential election, according to a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll released on Sunday.
Amidst all of these, Kenya is holding its breath for its "homeboy" Obama. Media in the East African country are all carrying the Democratic candidates pictures and regular updates about his campaign.
For you detractors....shame on you, I toast to Obama in anticipation of his November 4th Victory and to the beginning of a new win-win world order.
