Title: President’s Claim That He Never Met Uncle Contradicted By Uncle And Landlord
Post by: happyg on December 04, 2013, 01:17:03 am
So one more lie about Obama’s past uncovered. Why lie about this, just to not seem to have connection to illegal uncle? It’s a dumb lie, especially if uncle, et. al, wouldn’t back you up.

President Obama’s uncle said at a deportation hearing Tuesday that Obama stayed with him while he was a student at Harvard Law School in the 1980s — despite the White House having said that Obama never met the man.

Onyango “Omar” Obama, 69, was arrested for drunk driving in 2011 and faced deportation after living in the United States for five decades. The judge decided to let the Kenyan national remain in the United States.

According to the Boston Globe, Omar Obama also made the following claim:

He testified that president stayed w/ him in Cambridge when he came to attend Harvard Law.

And this from landlord Alfred Ouma, who served as a witness at the hearing:

Ouma confirms in aside that POTUS lived with Uncle Omar. No response yet from @WhiteHouse  cc @Maley44

The White House said following Omar Obama’s arrest that he and the president had never met. The president was not close to his father’s side of the family given his father’s absence in his life.

The White House did not immediately comment on Omar Obama’s claim.

Omar Obama came to the United States when he was 19, with the help of his brother, Barack Obama Sr. He currently works as the manager of a liquor store.

He is the second of Obama’s relatives to face deportation and win. Obama’s aunt, Zeituni Onyango, also avoided deportation in 2010.

Why did obama lie about this? Does it prove something else that he lied about because he was with his uncle?

Good question. Why lie unless you have something to hide?

I truly believe he'd lie if the truth would suffice.  That's just who he is.  (http://i6.ifrm.com/13592/198/emo/crazy3.gif)

I truly believe that Obama is a pathological liar.  He lies just because he can.  He lies whether he needs to, or not.

He just lies all the time.
