NEWS.YAHOO: President Obama’s aunt, Zeituni Onyango, who has been living illegally for years in the U.S. and appealed for asylum to remain in the country, said in a recent exclusive interview with the AP that, she is very distraught at not being able to be in contact with Obama and his family.
Onyango, the half sister of Obama’s late father, said she has exiled herself from the family after attending Obama’s inauguration because she didn’t want to become fodder for his foes. Obama and his family have not reached out to her either, she said.
“Before, we were family. But right now, there is a lot of politics, and me, I am not interested in any politics at all,” said Onyango, whose appeal for asylum from her native Kenya is before an immigration judge in Boston.
