Onyango Obama, Uncle Of President, Arrested For Drunk Driving

Onyango Obama, President Obama's uncle, was arrested on August 24 in Massachusetts for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol, CBS News reports.

According to CNN, Onyango Obama was arrested in Framingham, a Boston suburb, after not stopping his SUV at an intersection.

The Metro West Daily News reports that he had a blood alcohol level of .14 when tested with a Breathalyzer at the police station. The legal limit in Massachusetts is .08, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

From the Associated Press:

Police said that when asked if he wanted to make a phone call, Obama said: "I think I will call the White House."

A spokesman for Cleveland immigration attorney Margaret Wong, who is representing him, confirmed that the 67-year-old is the president's uncle.
...

Police say the president's uncle is originally from Kenya and is being held without bail on a detainer from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Wong was one of the attorneys who represented Zeituni Onyango, President Obama's aunt, who last year was granted political asylum after spending ten years as an undocumented immigrant in Boston.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment from The Boston Herald, the paper reports.

Hmm...the author didn't mention how Pres Obama's aunt was on public assistance the entire time she was in the country illegally (http://chronicle.augusta.com/opinion/editorials/2011-09-04/relative-humility). She is quoted as saying "If I come as an immigrant, you have the obligation to make me a citizen.” (http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/wireStory?id=11690106). Now his squatter uncle is going to benefit from his nephew's position.

The uglier you are on the inside, the uglier you will be on the outside. This is how obama and his wife will look like in another 15 years. Obama has done nothing for this country or his own black peope. Absolutely nothing. Most obama has done for 2 1/2 years is campaign, more campaining, vacatining, play golf and fight for the illegals. NOW we know why he wanted to dream act to pass. For all his illegal relatives in this country!!

usedtobedemocrat,

Maybe you should learn how to spell before you talk about anybody else. I'm sure your no beauty...When people like you talk that way, no one really takes you serious.

Likewise, when you lack understanding of basic fourth grade grammar, such as not understanding the difference between "your" and "you're", no one takes you serious(ly) either, Professor.

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and President Obama are best of friends...each tripped over themselves to support the others campagne...in fact, President Obama's run for the White house was modeled precisely after Governor Patrick's earlier successful campagne for the State House. Given their close ties, this whole matter will no doubt just "disappear" and go away. So much for the oath of office and upholding the law of the land.

Governors don't decide immigration cases, and you assume that Obama will go to bat for his estranged father's long-lost step-brother who has played absolutely no role in his life.

Looks like you spoke too fast. The Obama got his uncle out. BTW it is his fathers half brother not step brother.

This is the root stock of the guy the libs want to relect as President? The last one in the WH that had a relative that was "out there" was Carter with his brother Billy. BAM has an auntie and uncle. Any more of his family out there?

Hope he takes all the family with him, like I dunno, maybe a close nephew. Never will happen. Didn't his aunt over stay her visa or something? Sounds like BS through out the White House.

Every president has a relative like this - actually EVERYONE has one. Alcoholism is a disease that strikes every race, religion, social class. Drive carefully all!

"President Obama's uncle was ordered by an immigratio­n judge to leave the country almost two decades ago"

And what has happened since then?

They just ignore the order, disappear, and try not to get in trouble.
