Obama's aunt, the one he mentions in his memoirs, is living illegally in the United States in PUBLIC HOUSING!

So you are blaming the care of the RENTED homes on the TENENTs rather than the landlord that should have been involved in visiting the residences for upkeep, annual and bi-annual maintenance?


A former co-worker is a landlord, she rents out her 1st home.

>>Pardon me, but I simply have to ask, how does this post relate to Obama's aunt? How does this have anything to do with this thread?<<

It's related in that it's another emotional issue that distracts us from the real issues. The fear that someone, somewhere (possibly/probably someone of a different complexion) might be getting something for free is very powerful and somehow, makes people forget that there are other issues at hand.

Ugh, I fear we are all dumber for engaging in this thread at all...

Tuesday, are you here yet?

So the rich getting a tax cut like McCain proposes allows them to save even more than under Obama's plan?

I think we should be fair about this. How do you know she is living in "deplorable" conditions? Not all public housing is in bad condition, or in bad neighborhoods. We also don't know how much she is paying in rent. Public housing, doesn't mean she, or anyone else, is getting a free ride. Why aren't people just as outraged at the other 10 million illegal's living here? McCain hasn't done anything about them either. It isn't that simple. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't turn in a relative either! This hasn't become a police state yet. No one is required to turn in anyone. If that were the case, most restaurants, hospital janitorial departments and fast food restaurants would have to close down. I don't know why she was turned down for asylum, but I have a problem sending someone to a country that that could be a death sentence for them. Should we deport all of the illegals living here...or just make an issue of one 56 year old woman?


edited to add: I don't believe this coming out now is a coincidence. Nor is it a coincidence, she is related to
