If we need a portrait-in-miniature of the Obama administration and its progressive homeboys, this is it.
From the Boston Herald:
President Obama’s accused drunken-driving uncle — who was busted after a near collision with a Framingham cop — has had a valid Social Security number for at least 19 years, despite being an illegal immigrant ordered to be deported back to Kenya, the Herald has learned.
The president’s 67-year-old uncle, Obama Onyango, has had a valid Massachusetts driver’s license and Social Security number since at least 1992, said Registry of Motor Vehicles spokesman Michael Verseckes.
Onyango, whose sister, Zeituni Onyango, made headlines when it was revealed she was an illegal immigrant living in public housing in South Boston, was wobbly legged, “slurring” and had “red and glassy eyes” when he was pulled over at 7 p.m. Wednesday on Waverly Street in Framingham.
As someone who has witnessed (in his family) the expense and stress incurred by people who steadfastly adhere to immigration law in order to build their upright lives in this wonderful country, this episode is offensive beyond words. There is one law for my family members, and another for the ne'er-do-well illegals that constitute The One's extended family.
But beyond that, it demonstrates Obama's simple incompetence at solving simple problems. Uncle Onyango is a drunk, and he's not going to get sober. Fair enough. Most don't. He's also here illegally, and a deportation order has been issued.
A competent person in Obama's position concludes: Uncle Onyango will drink himself into oblivion wherever he lives. So, let's make sure he is quietly returned to Kenya. I (Obama) have some wealth, and the ability to get things done. Let's rent him a flat in a nice safe part of a city, where the local authorities can keep an eye on him (they can be bought, you know), and arrange for a modest monthly stipend to keep him fed, his booze supply plentiful, and the occasional hooker to keep him happy. In a few years, he'll be dead, and in the meantime, he'll just be another old drunk in Kenya.
Obama could do this on his own dime, not spending one penny of public or donor money. He could even buy the plane ticket-one way to Kinshasa.
This is what a competent President would do--outcome for Uncle would be essentially the same, but the law would be adhered to in the US, and Uncle could not possibly be a distraction or embarrassment fourteen months ahead of the election. A President has other fish to fry, like war and peace, the economy, etc. etc.
November 2012 cannot arrive soon enough.
