Obama's Aunt found living in Boston slum

Obama's aunt (Zeituni Onyango) has been affectionately described in his book Dreams from My Father. When you measure the way this guy has cared for his family versus what he talks about with charity and how we've all gotta help each other out... he's not helping out his own family because he doesn't want to use his own money. One half brother in a hut on $12 a day in Nairobi, now this. Does any of this mean anything to you guys? Do these things add up as they come to light?

(from his convention speech) OBAMA: It is that fundamental belief -- I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper -- that makes this country work.


Rick Warren at the Saddleback Church August 16th said to Obama: "What would be the greatest moral failure of America?"

quote:
OBAMA: America's greatest moral failure, in my lifetime, uh, has been that we -- we still don't abide by that -- that -- that basic precept in Matthew that, uh, whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me. And that notion... that basic principle applies to poverty, it applies to racism and sexism, it applies to, uh, not having -- not -- not thinking about providing ladders of opportunity for people to get into the middle class. I mean there's -- there's a pervasive sense, I think, uh, this country, as wealthy and powerful as we are, still don't spend enough time thinking of the least of these.


Does this mean that we should demand Obama move to a housing project or a hut? Is he blaming America for the circumstances in which his aunt lives in a slum in Boston? He's not even willing to take care and help his own family, and how many mesmerized Americans think he's going to take care of them?

Yawn...I suppose you'd bail out all of your family members. It sounds like he's got a rather large family and probably doesn't keep in touch with all of them, let alone knows what living conditions are like.

Also, you make it sound like Obama's really wealthy or something. He's no John McCain. He just finished off his student loans

You guys must be extremely worried to be pushing this bullshit all the time these days.

Edit - Has anyone seen an Obama family tree? I bet it's insane.

These expositions on Obama's family tell more about the people performing them than those they are "exposing." George Onyango was not unhappy, was not angry with Obama, and got upset when the media tried to portray it as such.

Whenever a new family member is found what do we learn? They are very enthusiastic about Barrack and support his candidacy. They're not bitter, there's no animosity, and they're surprisingly well restrained in making any gaffes. Barrack has been through all this and likely taking all the necessary precautions to protect himself and his family.

The real crime here is trying to make assumptions and judgments about someone elses family history.

Yeah.

It means the straw grasping is becoming ultra desperate, and if this is the best they come up with, then Obama might actually indeed be a good and decent human being afterall...

Here's one - http://www.suntimes.com/images/cds/...amily_tree.html

I'm sorry, but compared to my family, this is insane. If Barack were like most family members, he's be nearing the end of wife #2, looking for #3, with something like 7 kids.

Its also funny how when the right sets out to investigate and interpret Obama's family tree, they never spend time on his mother's side. They don't talk about his war hero grand father and grand uncle. They focus on his father's side and use it to create fear and uncertainty about Obama.

Well, that's the black side.

One of McCain's houses exists so some of his family members that aren't well off have a place to live (in AZ)... they don't make them pay rent or anytthing. Obama's aunt, who again isn't some random shill on the shady branch of the tree, is in Boston living like this, not Africa like some of the others. This is a woman he lovingly talks about in his book. There is a difference, especially with the line that Obama peddles about poverty and being your brother's keeper

I'm not really sure what "some random shill on the shady branch of the tree" means, but this is his grandfather's 3rd wife's child.

i see no reason why one's policies should be dictated by their relatives. i have plenty of deadshit relatives i wouldn't spare a dime to help, and yet im still an advocate of a moderate welfare state.

i don't see the relationship between the two.

You know what's really pathetic? You, you fucking plagiarizer. Are you even capable of an independent thought?

For anyone who ever put the slightest bit of trust in anything this creep said, read it and judge for yourselves. This is textbook plagiarism, the lowest of all intellectual crimes you can commit. When Josh pointed it out in that other thread, I thought it was a one-time thing, but this is now THREE times he's quoted verbatim from a right-wing website and passed the words off as his own.

The17sss, you are absolute scum.


Posted by josh4 on Oct-31-2008 03:07:

The other thread.

Yeah, I gave him the benefit of the doubt the last time. Like I said, problems with sources seems to be a problem with a certain segment of PDD. Not that its at all surprising.


Posted by Krypton on Oct-31-2008 03:14:

Don't you guys get it? The right wing take orders from above.

Pffft! Please. Call me Joe Biden?

Look, he simply articulates much better than I do exactly how I think and feel about most political related policies. When I've prefaced direct quotes in the past from him, just seeing his name is instant cause for you guys to dismiss the content of the words right away. When I leave his name out, I find that you guys listen a little bit more. If you ask me, "are those your words?" I'll gladly say no, they are Rush's. But I'm interested in discussing these topics with you people, and if leaving his name out is going to take away the up-front bias, so be it.

So what does that make your boy at the bottom of the Democratic ticket? lol


Posted by pkcRAISTLIN on Oct-31-2008 05:00:

in 17sss's defence, i never got the impression he was trying to pass other people's work off as his own. having said that though a sourced link is always appropriate.

Have you heard of paraphrasing? The problem with Rush and the rest is its not original thought. They are pushing an agenda. At any rate, you should be perfectly capable of sculpting out the same arguments using legitimate sources and referencing those sources. If you are not, then there is something wrong with your argument.
