Obama practices what he preaches…
…at least when it comes to supporting illegal immigration. His Kenyan Aunt Zeituni Onyango has been living in a Boston public housing facility despite not being in America legally. And even though it is against the law for illegals to do so, she has contributed (from her publicly paid for housing which probably has cable TV and other amenities) $260 to her nephew’s campaign.

But does he walk the walk when it comes to family? Obama proudly stated that he is “his brothers keeper” during his acceptance speech in Denver. Yet his own brother lives in a tiny mud hut somewhere in Africa getting by on less than a dollar a month.
Can Obama be America’s wealth redistribution maestro when he doesn’t even spread his personal wealth within his own family?

Joe The Plumber is from my home town. Also he did piss poor work on my father’s house. And he went crazy on my dad when he complained about the sub-standard work.
Good to know, John. I retract my comment that he’s “probably a pretty decent guy…”
But he’s probably enjoying his 15 minutes of fame nonetheless.
Seriously it was a great shame.
Here we all were, finally united and on ourway in the belated search of the legendary Joe six-pack; font for all wisdom; a benevolent figure beaming down for whom the Bhudda is but a tame reproduction- and Joe the Plumber is put in our collective path.
We are back to where we started- Maureen Dowd.
Since it was a civil comment, I’ll answer bb.
“Simple question DOR, do you think it is hypocritical for Obama to spread taxpayer wealth while not doing so with his personal wealth within his family? He claims to be his “brothers keeper”, yet his brother is not kept.”
.
I have no information that suggests he knew about someone “within his family” who needed help.
>>> “yet his brother is not kept.”
No, bb, he’s living in Kenya the way he wants to live. He’s not asking for a hand-out, so he must be a Republican. Isn’t that about it? That personal responsibility thingy?
And oh, bb, is it hypocritical for McCain to support campaign finance reform when you were one of the Keating five?
John wrote, “I was interviewed by their panel (AJC) who lectured me on GDP. They were blind to the debt ratio and problems that caused it. Now they think I am genius…”
Which is it John? You said the AJC panel now thinks you are a genius. But then you say it wasn’t the AJC…
