Auntie Is Illegal: That's All You've Got?

Well it appears our Shocktober campaign surprise has arrived one day late with a resounding and anti-climactic thud.

The AP reports that Senator Barack Obama's Kenyan Aunt has been living in Boston illegally. Obama quickly commented with a clarification that he was unaware of this.

This is the best October surprise that Obama opponents could come up with, and it is entirely irrelevant.

Ronald Reagan was elected for two terms with an openly gay son and the religious right didn't seem to mind.

Bill Clinton had a little brother that wore the most god-awful mullet and voters north of the Mason-Dixon line happily looked the other way.

Try as they may - and boy oh boy have they tried hard - Obama detractors simply can't penetrate the personal character and integrity of Barack Obama.

It does beg the question,if Obama didn't know that his own family is in the country illegally , then we will see if this man of the Law will have her sent packing back to Kenya. It has happened to numerous Latinos... I think he knew... He just did not think anyone would find the skeleton in that Boston shanty... It is funny that this seemingly unimportant fact will speak volumes of his decision making... Will he respect the law?? More to follow on this little issue...
