Sen. Obama's Aunt is in the US Illegally

Yes I have, and it's in who you know. Sen. Obama could have made a few calls to DHS CIR and at least greased the skids.

I'm not talking about making her a citizen, I'm talking about getting a visa. A visa takes very little effort in comparison.

Well, glad it's all so easy. I mean, gosh, why didn't Obama abuse his position and ethical standards to get her in the process ahead of others? Afterall the visa process is such a quick thing esp after 9/11 for illegal aliens.

I'm happy to see he didn't pull a Palin on this. Also, how does anyone in this forum know if he did or did not offer her advice? How does anyone know how close he is to her or if they speak?

But, if this is all the conservatives have left for an October surprise, well, then I can say your desperation is running on fumes.

Hey, I hear Obama may or may not have changed lanes over the weekend in Chicago without using a turn signal. Maybe you could jump all over that next? In case you can't guess, I'm doing a facepalm over here at this even being news. Clearly this will swing those last few independents over to McCain even if it means they will pay more taxes and lose out on health coverage. I mean, Obama's aunt is a HUGE issue that the world must know about.

You guys are really, really reaching arent you. Let's assume he would've helped her out, then you wouldve jumped on him for 'pulling strings'. It's a no win situation with the right wing, damn if you do damn if you don't.

No we aren't. We're no where near that. Read a little history.

Two degrees in finance should say enough. If you don't remember the markets were on the brink of failing if AIG didn't get bailed out. Read up a little on what would've happened if AIG would've failed.

He's the one preaching about being your "brother's keeper" and "spreading the wealth around" so that everyone has a "chance".

My cousin is a hard core herion addict who is living out on the streets somewhere. Should I help him out? A cousin who I've only met once in my life and that was when I was 7 years old and barely remember him. Get serious will you. As a some have posted he barely knows this woman.

Well, use your degrees in finance and project for me what would've happened if capital gains taxes were suspended completely and the corporate tax rate were cut in half, while eliminating the mark-to-market reporting requirement. Investment dollars would have flooded the market, and stabilized these companies needing fresh capital for investment.

Yeah, he didn't know her enough to mention her in his book...

As to your cousin, if he were to reach out and ask for help would you help him? Perhaps with conditions (that would be wise, as the mind of addicts is certainly not linear)?

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!
