An aunt of President Obama whose immigration status grabbed headlines before the president's 2008 election has died in Massachusetts. Attorney Margaret Wong, who represented the president's aunt, in her immigration case, said Onyango died Tuesday in a Boston rehabilitation center. Wong said that Onyango, 61, who was the half sister of the president's father, was being treated for cancer and respiratory problems. Onyango moved to the U.S. from Kenya in 2000 and was denied asylum by an immigration judge in 2004. But she remained in the country illegally, living in public housing surviving on social assistance.What kind of beast worth untold millions turns their back on a family member like that? Where is his compassion? He talks of the need for Americans to dig deep into our pockets to help the needy but he does nothing to help his own family in need, while they fly around like King and Queen on luxury vacations? How does Obama sleep at night?
