First Posted: 03/18/2010 5:12 am Updated: 05/25/2011 3:05 pm

From ASSOCIATED PRESS:

CORVALLIS, Ore. - Oregon State University says President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama have a new nephew.

University spokesman Steve Fenk says Austin -- son of the first lady's older brother, Craig Robinson, and his wife, Kelly -- was born Monday, weighing 7 pounds, 5 ounces (3.32 kilograms).

Robinson is the head coach of the Oregon State men's basketball team, the Beavers. He has two children from a previous marriage.

Fenk said Tuesday he had no information about how the news of the birth had been communicated with the first family.

The tea party people are getting sicker everyday. This is the so-called Euro-Christian community.

For being such upstanding Christians, h@te towards an innocent child is really, really sad. Remember, going to church makes you about as religious as standing in a garage makes you a car. Take your h@te somewhere else. Isn't there a teaparty meeting about to start?

Will they bring the nephew into the global elite shadow clan?

When will the family be returning from Kenya?

Congratulations to the Robinsons. Hopefully this child will grow up in a more loving and intelligent America. And may God forgive those who feel that the birth of a newborn is time for such negativity. Again, congratulations to both parents and the baby's relatives also.

Wow, these troIIs can take something as happy as the birth of a baby and turn it into something mean. It must suck to be so bitter!

True.

Are you certain his wife really gave birth? Medical records need to be provided for proof! Maybe it is the baby of his daughter and they are only passing it off as hers???

Are you also sure he is the father and not someone else!..like his best friend or the mailman..afterall he travels alot out of town with the team???

Sound ridiculous??.... Not if you are a Dem and it is the Palin family!

This is clearly a violation of the constitution somehow. Our American rights have seriously been eroded and if we don't challenge this birth, then our taxes will go up.... this is exactly why global warming is a liberal conspiracy.
