Obama Campaign to Return Aunt's Donations
By Matthew Mosk

The campaign of Sen. Barack Obama will refund a small number of 
contributions made by Obama's aunt, who has been living in the United 
States illegally, according to a published report. The woman, Zeituni 
Onyango, lives in public housing in Boston and is the half-sister of 
Obama's late father. The Associated Press reported today that Obama's aunt 
had been instructed to leave the country four years ago by an immigration 
judge who rejected her request for asylum from her native Kenya. Obama 
campaign reports filed with the Federal Election Commission show Onyango 
gave $265 to the campaign. Foreign nationals are not permitted to donate 
to American presidential campaigns. "Given the information that has been 
brought to our attention, the contributions are being refunded," Ben 
LaBolt, an Obama campaign spokesman, told The Washington Post this 
morning. The campaign told the AP that Obama was not aware that questions 
had been raised about his aunt's legal status. "Senator Obama has no 
knowledge of her status but obviously believes that any and all 
appropriate laws be followed," the statement said, according to the AP.

She is living in housing that is paid for with our tax dollars.  Where did 
she get the $265 to give to Obama's campaign?  From us!!!  Is she also 
registered to vote?
