Obama rule not like Carter administration?
November 2, 2008 5:37 pm American PoliticsWell, Billy Carter was at least an American citizen and legal resident.
Update
And Victor Davis Hanson proceeds from there to address the core issue:
But if the Obama campaign cannot even guarantee that his own aunt followed the law (it is illegal for foreigners to contribute to US presidential campaigns), what does that say about the millions of others who, we are supposed to believe, on the now dubious assurance of Obama himself were supposedly legitimate and lawful donors? And as a sidelight, how ethical is it for someone who is in violation of immigration law, and receiving some sort of public subsidy, to then donate money, illegally again, to a campaign? Message: defy immigration law; ignore a deporation order; obtain, again illegally, public assistance; donate illegally to a presidential campagin; and then count on the press attacking those who worry about such serial flaunting of the law.
[...]
Here we are within a few hours before the election, and we get yet another reminder that we have little idea who Barack Obama is; and the media, rather than enlightening us about his background, consistency in thought, past behavior, aassociates, and character, instead turns on anyone and anything that stand in the way of his ascension.

Obama was born in Hawaii…. why would he not be a legal resident or American citizen? He was brought up by his white grandparents, and went to Harvard to become a lawyer.

The issue is a persistent allegation that some of Obama’s own family back in Kenya are still claiming he was born there.

I keep asking: what is Obama’s religion? What is his racial makeup? who is his parents? Where was he born? What are his true political views? Does he love American? Is he a globalist socialist commie? I wanna know.

Cari,
Did you even follow the link in the article? How could you possibly equate Billy Carter, brother of Pres. Jimmy Carter, with Obama? Glendronach is talking about Obama’s aunt.
