One of the coulda-been moments of the 2008 campaign was the failure of mostly anyone else to point out that Barack Obama supported his illegal alien own aunt being deported at the same time as he opposed the deportations of millions of illegal aliens he's never even met. Pushing that story would help dispel the widespread feeling among his supporters that he's all sweetness and light. At the time, I questioned why BHO supported her being deported instead of getting her an immigration lawyer in order to pursue a possible appeal of her case.
Now, she's got a lawyer (link):
Cleveland attorney Margaret Wong told the AP on Friday she is exploring legal options and may file a motion to re-open [Zeituni Onyango]'s case. She said Onyango is upset because she believes someone leaked information about her immigration status to try to hurt Obama's candidacy.
