Obama's Aunt Living Illegally in New York

This is the latest on why I am not an Obama fan. Obama claims he did not know his Aunt has been living in the US illegally for the last 4 years.

Please understand that I am skeptical of ALL politicians until they prove they show integrity and trustworthiness. When politicians make a promise, but then break it, I lose trust in them. When politicians say they don't know information they should know, I lose trust in them. When politicians have questionable associations, I lose trust in them.

So when Obama promises he's going to fundraise one way, then changes his mind, I lose trust. When he says he doesn't know the state of one of his own family members, I lose more trust. When he says he's never heard questionable comments from his reverend's sermons over the course of 20 years even though all the evidence proves otherwise, dude, I'm not voting for you.

I know no one is perfect, and we can dig up dirt on anyone. But when you're running for the office of the President of the United States, you know they're gonna dig up all they can. I'm actually quite surprised and disappointed at how forgiving the public has been about all this stuff. This stuff matters! It matters that he won't release any information about his college years. It matters that he won't give the court proof that he's a natural born citizen of this country, and is asking the court to just dismiss the case. It matters that he changed his mind about funding - especially when he has enough money to buy a significant amount of time on 5 major networks. It matters that he's not even aware of his own aunt's situation when he might be in a very powerful position to influence the issue of illegal immigration.

Sorry, I'm usually careful not to "rant" on my blogs - I don't want to seem harsh or unloving. I am just so disappointed how much of this stuff has been swept under the rug by the media, and if the tables were turned, I don't think the public or media would be so forgiving.
