BOSTON -- President Barack Obama's uncle, an illegal immigrant charged with drunken driving last week, was ordered by an immigration judge to leave the country almost two decades ago, a federal official said Wednesday.
The official said a deportation order was issued against Onyango Obama in 1992. The official spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to release details on the case.Updates:Obama, who's from Kenya, is the half-brother of the president's late father. He has pleaded not guilty to operating under the influence of alcohol and is being held on an immigration detainer. An immigration detainer, used by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to identify people in jail or prison who could be deported, is a request to another law enforcement agency to notify ICE before releasing the person from custody so ICE can arrange to take over custody. Obama's immigration attorney, Margaret Wong, of Cleveland, declined to comment on his case or on how long he has been living in the U.S. illegally. The White House also has declined to comment.

Shocker: Obama's uncle ordered deported 20 years ago
Yes, and he owes back taxes also? What the heck? This is the brother of the sister who has also been fighting deportation for years while living on our nickle.

I realized I made a mistake in voting for Obama not long after the election when Joe Biden said "The economy is worse than we thought." What kind of response is this? If we wanted incompetence we would have voted for incompetence. In hindsight, McCain/Palin probably couldn't have done any worse.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, in 2009 Obama did hold an entrepreneurial summit to create jobs...but in Muslim countries.
Obama is the first President in history to be in charge when America received a downgrade in its credit rating. His response? S and P are a bunch of hacks, and the Tea Party did it. Yes, had to be Standard and Poor's and the Tea Party. It couldn't be the $14 Trillion in debt and the $61 Trillion in obligations. It's amazing how in three years Obama can't boost the economy because it's so messed up, yet the Tea Party and S & P have so much power they can make it sink further in one day. Imagine if FDR, who inherited the worst Depression ever and then WW2, had simply thrown up his hands and said "We'll, this is just too hard. It can't be done. Our economy is wrecked, and I'll never beat the Axis. We'll sign a peace treaty with Hitler, and maybe they'll leave us alone." Imagine if Abe Lincoln had said "The Civil War is not winnable. Forget the Union. A little slavery never hurt anybody, anyway." Imagine if George Washington, who lost every battle up until Trenton had said "A nighttime raid involving a boat ride across this half frozen river is impossible. I'll never beat the Hessians anyway. The press is always saying I'm a British sympathizer. Nope, I'll just forget the Revolution". I'm sick of Obama and his excuses, and I was sorry I voted for him a long time ago. He is 100% unworthy to be President
looks like the whole family are liars and cheats-
