CHICAGO – Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Saturday he didn't know that one of his relatives was living in the United States illegally and believes the appropriate laws should be followed.
The Associated Press found 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. The woman, Zeituni Onyango (zay-TUHN on-YANG-oh), is living in public housing in Boston and is the half-sister of Obama's late father.
A statement given to the AP by Obama's campaign said, "Senator Obama has no knowledge of her status but obviously believes that any and all appropriate laws be followed."
This the guy that is going to save the poor and starvin' here in America and across the world.
Yet he can't take care of a half brother in Africa residing in a f**king hut living on less than $20.00 a year and an aunt who lives in a slum here in the U.S.A.
There's another problem: knowingly receiving campaign donations from foreign nationals is a crime, isn't it? It's not a lot of money, but doesn't he have to turn in that money to the FEC?
And may I say, from a moral point of view, I think there can be no justification for shoving snack cakes up your action.

He couldn't spare anything for auntie but she gave his campaign $260. The money now will be returned because federal law doesn't allow foreigners to make such contributions.
Her last donation was $5.
