Obama's Aunt Zeituni Qualifies as Asylee? Why? Zeituni: US Obligated to Grant Citizenship and Aid (Video)

Barack Obama's Aunt Zetuni has lived in the Boston area illegally for years. She recently received "asylum" and is still in Boston living in public housing, receiving $700 monthly, courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer. Aunti has told a Boston TV station, the U.S. has an "obligation" to grant her citizenship. I'm asking how, EXACTLY, this woman qualifies for asylum and status as an "asylee." See the video below, where Zeituni Onyango complains that she has been treated badly here.

So we must ask why Zeituni Onyango was granted "asylum" in this country. Was she persecuted in her home country of Kenya? Did she consider herself a refugee when she arrived in this country (but according to her planned to return to her home)? Was her life in danger? The answer appears to be "no" each.

According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, you must meet the definition of "refugee" to be given "asylee" status:
Refugee status or asylum may be granted to people who have been persecuted or fear they will be persecuted on account of race, religion, nationality, , and/or membership in a particular social group or political opinion.
I don't think the "social group" or "political opinion" stretches to voting Democrat or having a nephew controlling the Oval Office. How did this happen?

I found the answer and Aunti is here courtesy of another activist judge:
A judge who granted asylum to President Barack Obama's African aunt ruled she deserved to stay in the United States because a federal government official leaked her status to a news organization, making her a potential target for persecution in her native Kenya.
Can we seriously think Barack Obama's auntie would be targeted for "persecution" in Kenya? Eric Holder must have been behind this one.

In the video below from WBZ-TV, the interviewer mentions that Onyango's very "wealthy" relatives, living in the White House, have done nothing to relive the taxpayer's burden of her presence in America.

Government Worker Benefits Getting Rich on Backs of Private Sector

"David Walker, the U.S.Comptroller for Clinton and then G. W. Bush says under the Obama administration, government workers, through pensions and salaries, are growing "prosperous" on the backs of the private sector. Walker says the only way to stop this is to inform the public, and for us to understand that "We the People" have the power to do something about it.

From David Walker, now the CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation
“There is a huge gap. State and local plans on average … are much more lucrative than typical plans for employees. State and local government employees, on average, have greater job security than people in the private sector. And state and local government employees, in the middle of government, in many cases make more money than their private sector counterparts,” Walker said during a speech at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. According to Pew numbers provided by the Chamber, the budget gap to cover state employees’ benefits totals $1 trillion.
“Therefore, if governments expect taxpayers to pay more taxes to fund lucrative benefit programs that are much better than the average employee gets, in jobs that more job security and in some cases make more money than their private sector counterparts, that ain’t gonna happen,” he said. “But the only way it’s not going to happen is if there’s transparency and if the cover is blown, so that pressure is brought to bear to make changes.”
"We the People" will have a private sector rebellion on November 2nd.


Pelosi CLEAR Act Adds Billions in New Taxes: CLEAR TakeOver of State Authority on Permits: Pelosi Bans Oil Spill Investigation

Nancy Pelosi has said no to a House and Senate "independent" investigation of the BP Gulf oil spill. Her CLEAR Act poised to be voted on this Friday passed the House on July 30th. It adds billions in new taxes, a federal takeover of a state's authority to issue pertinent permits within their state, and builds a $500 million annually, slush fund for the Interior Secretary. That slush fund is provided by $22 billion in new taxes over ten years, which settles at $3 billion-per-year after the ten years. Are these people evil, or what? Have you heard anything coming from Republicans about this? I have not.



Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama

Connie Hair at Human Events has another blockbuster report. As the administration's illegal moratorium on drilling marches on, Pelosi wants no Republicans or petroleum experts sticking their noses into the disaster or how it was handled. Louisiana's Republican congressmen Cassidy and Fleming, are livid about CLEAR's new drilling standards, laws and regulations "that have nothing to do with offshore drilling," but everything to do with "unrelated" federal programs to spend billions on solar, wind and nuclear power. Rep. Doc Hastings (R-WA) says Pelosi's move is intended to protect Obama.

 Both the House and the Senate have already approved an independent commission, with unanimous bipartisan votes:
Unlike the commission set up by President Obama -- packed only with environmental activists and no petroleum engineers -- the commission unanimously approved by the Natural Resources committee would be comprised of technical experts to study the actual events leading up to the Deepwater Horizon disaster....
“By deleting the bipartisan, independent oil spill commission that’s received bipartisan support in both House and Senate committees, Democrats have shown they are more interested in protecting the President than getting independent answers to what caused this tragic Gulf spill.  Some of the biggest failures that contributed to the Gulf disaster are the direct responsibility of the federal government... 
The CLEAR Act  is expected to be voted on Friday. The highlights:
1) Creates over $30 billion in new mandatory spending for two programs that have nothing to do with the oil spill 
2) Raises taxes by over $22 billion in ten years – with the taxes eventually climbing to nearly $3 billion per year.
3) Requires the federal takeover of state authority to permit in state waters, which reverses sixty years of precedent.
4) Allows 10% of all offshore revenues – an amount possibly as high as $500 million per year – to be spent on a new fund controlled by the Interior Secretary to issue ocean research grants (ORCA fund).
 The lesson is, the BP oil spill will be blamed for all energy and environmental woes in the future. Read an update from the MarineLog.
