The White House said Thursday that President Obama briefly lived with an uncle who faced deportation from the United States, correcting its previous statements that the president had never met Onyango Obama.

The 69-year-old, Kenyan-born half-brother of Obama's estranged father was granted permission this week to stay in the U.S. after ignoring a deportation order two decades ago. The uncle is also known as Omar Obama.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said that when the case first arose, officials looked for records of a meeting but never directly asked the president.

"When Omar Obama said the other day, and there were reports that he had said the other day that President Obama, back when he was a law school student, had stayed with him in Cambridge, I thought it was the right thing to do to go ask him," Carney said. "Nobody had asked him in the past, and the president said that he, in fact, had met Omar Obama when he moved to Cambridge for law school and that he stayed with him for a brief period of time until his -- the president's apartment was ready."

Carney said that after that, uncle and nephew saw each other once every few months while the younger Obama was in Cambridge. Carney said that after Obama attended law school, the two fell out of touch.

"The president has not seen Omar Obama in 20 years and has not spoken with him in roughly 10 years," Carney said.

During his deportation hearing, Onyango Obama told Judge Leonard Shapiro that he graduated from high school in Cambridge, then attended Boston University, where he received a degree in philosophy. He said that for years he has managed a family-owned liquor store in Framingham, just west of Boston. He also said he has worked for decades to help African immigrants find housing and settle in the U.S.

He testified that he hasn't been back to Kenya since he entered the U.S. and said it would be difficult for him to return after all these years.

His immigration status didn't become public until his 2011 drunken-driving arrest in Framingham. Police said after the arrest he told them, "I think I will call the White House."

Asked about the exchange by a prosecutor on Tuesday, he said he might have said that but couldn't recall.

The charge was dismissed after he completed a year of probation and 14 weeks of alcohol education classes.

He also testified that President Obama stayed with him for three weeks in Cambridge while the president was a student at Harvard Law School.

"In our tradition, your brother's kids are your kids as well," he said after the hearing.

Carney said the legal issues surrounding Obama's uncle was handled appropriately by the White House.

I love the last sentence, if that were the case then I think Obama has talked to him and seen him in the past ten years.

This is the most deceptive corrupt President and Administration this country has ever seen!

Well, it is Thorsday afterall. One more day left this week to change it yet again.

in my culture, family is family too,, our kids are our kids



but that doesn't mean I am in touch with all my elders or both my half siblings


one of which I also 'lived with' for a couple weeks in college,,lol( although I thought it was called a visit)

this is seriously a big to do over something silly and irrelevant,,,

i'm not entirely sure you know what a lie is...

again, what was the lie?

was there evidence he had met this brother? did HE SAY he hadn't?

brother? no, uncle... READ THE ARTICLE

whatever, his dads brother, the point still stands,,,

not telling the truth is the same as lying...

really? so you haven't shared your dads occupation,, I Guess that means you lied?


lol

whether i lie or not isn't the issue... i'm not lying to the pubic as a whole, nor am i president... sorry you see with rose colored glasses, but there is a real world out there..

no rose colored glasses, Id just like the claim of a 'lie' to be backed up with an explanation of what the 'lie' was.....

lol, we've shown you for 6 years now...

so, as it pertains to THIS THREAD

no answer

got it,,


and Ive only been here four years

no, you don't get it, but thats why we love ya...

Typical Obama Cheerleader.

HAAAAA


still no answer

The White House said he never lived with him and barely ever met him. LIES to cover up Obama's crime of harboring a Felon and Fugitive.

the OP states the white house said they found 'no evidence', and what document would show someons three week visit with someone else?

and if OBama stayed with the UNCLE in college, because his apartment wasn't ready,,, that wouldn't be harboring anyone,, as he was the guest,,,

but keep trying to make a big deal out of something insignificant,,,,

it makes for great mingle conversation,,,,

i guessed they never asked barry...lol

You cannot believe anything the Liar In Contempt says
