The 2008 presidential campaign has bestowed quite a few dubious characters with their precious fifteen minutes of fame: Joe the Unlicensed Plumber, Tito the Builder, The old lady who called Obama an Arab, and of course Sarah Palin.

Now you can throw in Barack Obama’s aunt who is living illegally in the United States into the mix. This poor woman has been besieged by reporters since it came to light that she’s in this country illegally.

“Sen. Barack Obama didn’t know his aunt might be living illegally in the United States, as media outlets are reporting, and his campaign will return contributions she made, an aide said

Very interesting how this woman’s immigration status was discovered just four days before the general election. There is something very fishy about the timing of this story, did someone from the Dept. of Homeland Security or the Bush administration leak this story to the press?

Fox News and conservative bloggers are all over this story like white on rice, but if they imagine they can sink Obama’s presidential aspirations with “Auntiegate” they are crazy. Obama is headed toward a win of landslide proportions, and even if it was discovered that Obama’s Aunt was married to the Antichrist it wouldn’t make any difference.
