Well, Star, here''s the thing . . . you seem to relish every opportunity to criticize Obama, regardless of whether your criticism is fair or not. For example, you posted here that you think Obama should give financial assistance to THE SAME AUNT. Make up your mind. Should he give her money so that she can have a better life here in the U.S. or should he deport her back to Kenya for being here illegally?
Also, perhaps you should read the article you posted above. It says in part:
''Senator Obama has no knowledge of her status but obviously believes that any and all appropriate laws be followed,'' the Obama campaign said in a written statement given to FOX News.
The campaign said it was returning $260 that Onyango had contributed in small increments to Obama''s presidential bid over several months. Federal election law prohibits foreigners from making political donations.
That should answer any questions you may have about how Obama would handle this situation as President. And BTW, it''s great to see that he''s already won the election in your opinion!
And I did not mean that in a smart a** way.

Right on Irishgrrrl!
Its so funny to me that some people seem to think that a candidate can control or is in some way responsible for the actions of EXTENDED family members (some not seen for 10+ years) BUT ... criticizing Sarah Palin''s IMMEDIATE family .. i.e. knocked up 17 yr old daughter, high school drop out fiance, son with drug issues - shipped off to war by a judge ...separatist party affiliated husband ... going on a campaign trail with a special-needs infant ... blah blah blah ... THOSE things are ''off limits''.
But I don''t mean this in a smart a** way.But I''m sure I''ll be seen that way since I don''t support McCain.
At the time of my former statement about her being here in a public housing project, we did not KNOW that she was illegal. So that blows your argument out of the water.Date: 11/1/2008 2:26:33 PM

Here's my rebuttal. WHY would you think it reflects badly on Obama or the Democratic Party if one distant relative of the candidate is here in the country illegally? Do you think he should be able to control his entire extended family? What would you have him do beyond what he *IS* doing ... returning the donated $$ now that its been determined its illegal ... and agreeing that any legal proceedures re: her being deported should continue as they would for anyone else under the circumstances.
