OBAMA: “I KNOW NOTHING…”

Presumptive president Barack Obama said he knows nothing about his aunt’s illegal immigration status. This, in response to an Associated Press report that Obama’s aunt had been ordered to leave the country four years ago by an immigration judge who rejected her request for asylum from her native Kenya.

The campaign questioned the timing of the disclosure just three days before the election.

“I think people are suspicious about stories that surface in the last 72 hours of a national campaign,” David Axelrod, Obama’s chief media strategist told reporters. “And I think they’re … going to put it in that context.”
