This is a bit confusing. The GOP says we spend too much money on frivolities. Wouldn’t a hearing on the POTUS’ half or one-quarter uncle’s drunk driving arrest fall in that category?
A better use of federal dollars would be to investigate the real reason Bush and Cheney lied to the American people about the Iraq war. Not to mention all of the war crimes sanctioned by Bushco.
It seems our president has no skeletons in his closet, (none that can be verified) so the GOP has to stoop to this level to tarnish the office of the President of the United States just because he’s not “one of them”.
Raw Replay
House Judiciary Committee member Rep. Steve King (R-IA) is calling for President Barack Obama’s “drunken uncle” to testify before Congress.
Onyango Obama, who allegedly does not have a valid visa, was arrested in Framingham, Massachusetts, on August 24 and charged in Framingham District Court with operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol. He is the half-brother of President Obama’s father.
King suspects that Onyango Obama will get favorable deportation proceedings due to his relation to the president.
“We have to bring drunken ‘Uncle Omar’ in front of the House Judiciary Committee, drill down into this, and tell America what’s going on,” the Iowa Republican told Fox News’ Chris Stirewalt Monday.
“I watched as President Obama’s aunt, Zeituni Onyango, also evaded [Immigration and Customs Enforcement],” King added. “The sympathy, the bleeding heart, of [Department of Homeland Security Director] Janet Napolitano decided to use an administrative authority to grant President Obama’s aunt asylum.”
