Obama busted for drunk driving, will be deported as he is in the country illegally
Obama's uncle arrested in Massachusetts From Jessica Yellin, CNN Chief White House Correspondent
(CNN) -- An uncle of President Barack Obama was arrested last week in Framingham, Massachusetts, for allegedly operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, police Lt. Ronald Brandolini told CNN on Monday.
Onyango Obama was arrested on August 24 after failing a field sobriety test, Brandolini said.
An administration official confirmed to CNN that the arrested man is the half-brother of President Obama's father. There was no other administration comment immediately available.
According to a a federal law enforcement source who spoke on condition of not being identified, Onyango Obama was not legally in the United States and has been previously ordered removed from the country. His case is now going through the immigration process, the source said.
A spokesman at the Department of Homeland Security said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement does not comment on specific cases.
According to a statement from Framingham police, an officer in an unmarked police cruiser stopped Onyango Obango just after 7 p.m. after a sport utility vehicle he was driving failed to make a proper stop at an intersection.
The arresting officer, Val Krishtal, said Obama had red and glassy eyes, slurred speech and appeared unsteady on his feet, the statement said. Obama told Krishtal he had consumed two beers, and then failed "several" field sobriety tests, according to the statement.
Obama was arrested for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, failure to yield and operating a motor vehicle to endanger, the statement said. Obama was being held without bail at the request of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, it said.
Rep. Joe Barton’s son arrested on drunken-driving charge outside University Park school Rep. Joe Barton
Rep. Joe Barton’s 41-year-old son was arrested on a felony drunken-driving charge after apparently picking up a child from middle school in University Park, officials said Friday.
Bradley Linus Barton, a former U.S. congressional candidate, was handcuffed and taken to jail Thursday afternoon. He spent the night in jail before posting bond and being released Friday, according to police.
Bradley Barton could not immediately be reached for comment Friday.
The arrest, which happened outside McCulloch Intermediate School after school let out, occurred after a resident alerted police that a motorist was driving erratically, according to Officer Lita Snellgrove.
“What we had was a report of a possible drunk driver,” she said.
An officer at McCulloch to help with traffic during the first week of school made the arrest. A child younger than 15 was in Barton’s car at the time, but the child’s identity has not been released.
Because a child was in the car, Barton faces the felony charge.
A spokesman for the congressman said the lawmaker did not want to discuss his son’s arrest.
“This is a private family matter, and the congressional office has no comment,” said Sean Brown, Joe Barton’s communications director.
Bradley Barton ran for Congress in 2002. He was among eight Republicans running for the then-newly created 31st Congressional District seat in Central Texas.
Fundraising records show that he received contributions from some major GOP donors in Dallas, but he did not make it to the runoff.

Police said that after being booked at the police station, Obama was asked whether he wanted to make a telephone call to arrange for bail. "I think I will call the White House," he stated, according to a police report filed in Framingham District Court.

It's sad that a relative is low enough to take advantage of where Barack is, but thats just relatives being selfish anywhere, whoever you are. Hopefully the president is smart enough to let him rot.
Either way, its a hit on him right? The insensitive nephew who cant bail his ill uncle out, or the weak president who caved on an attention whore.

Im a blue bloodied American, he is not. Fuck Obama and the camel he rode in on. How arrogant are you when you are his age and have 2 biographies written already. I can't wait to the election so i can watch his ass get torn apart. What a flaming queerboat he is. They should leave his relative and deport him
^^^^ Jesus. This is the text accompanying that YouTube. I hope it's false. Never wise to speak ill of the dead, but man, oh, man.
Ted Kennedy making excuses for driving drunk and causing Mary Jo Kopechne to drown in his overturned car. The water was only about 6 feet deep with no current based on police reports at the time. Police diver John Farrar's testimony suggested that she survived for as long as two hours in the submerged automobile by breathing a pocket of trapped air. Kennedy spent the nine hours after the accident attempting to cover-up his involvement, while Mary Jo Kopechne was left to die in his submerged automobile.

that graph couldn't be any more inaccurate. leading up to the banking collapse of 2007 GWB presided over the weakest economic expansion in US history. Obama inherited the poorest middle class in 70 years as the share of national income that goes to labor reached a 50 year low in 2007. there are 43million americans in poverty this is a 50 year high with the majority of the newly poor (about 23M) falling into poverty between 2008-2009.
since the 1970's when the US adopted neo-liberal economic policy the share of the national income that goes to labor has steadily declined. this trend will not be reversed until the US wakes up and realizes the faults of the failed economic model.

I was thinking the same when I saw the picture. Anyone who thinks the current administration is to blame for the current lull in the economy is living in a cave.
I have said it before, its easy to blame the guy at the top of the pyramid, but taking a step back and looking at how your own actions affected this outcome is what people are so easy to look away from. Sure, the banks opened their lending doors more easily, but that doesn't take the decision away from the borrower.
I got my firt neg rep on IM, and its over Obama Man this dude has long arms
Screw Obama in his suck hole, and his bulldog looking wife
Now I like this guy Raws and more thats right dude Barry can go fuk himself with hise wifes shoe. And just wait you will get alot more neg reps from these lame ass liberals because they have nothing else better to do. But the good thing is this idiot wont be re-elected and thats a fact
We'll just elect another idiot and it's sad to say but no one on the right looks any better.
I haven't voted in a couple years because of this. I don't have confidence in anyone to do the right thing, so what does the vote even matter? Loyalty to one party or another is just shallow thinking; they all fuck you over one way or another.

Are you serious LAM, you are making a case that the graph in the Obama pic is not accurate. You must really have your head up Obamas ass pretty far to complain about that graph not being accurate. I think everybody here has enough common sense to know that it was not intended to be a scientific data chart, but a joke.
You complain about how the middle class is getting screwed and how we have a failed economic model, but in case you didn't relize it your man has now been in charge for 3 years and hasn't done shit for the economy or the middle class. He just keeps throwing borrowed money at the problem.
And don't start blaming the GOP or the tea party, he had a mojority in the house and the senate for 2 years and didn't do shit, but pass a crappy health care bill that is getting overturned in all the courts.
His approval is now down to %39 because people are starting to relize what a charlatan he is. How long are you going to keep defending this clown? And the sad part is you will vote for him again.
