If there was nothing to dump, it wouldn&#8217;t have been dumped. Is Axelrod hinting that no one noticed when Times Online released the story about his aunt living on the public dole? That they just hoped the whole thing would dissipate? Is Axelrod saying that the Associated Press, the organization which broke the illegal alien part of the story, is a McCain tool?\u00a0 That&#8217;s a friggin&#8217; laugh.<\/p>\n<p>Now we discover that his aunt went to Obama&#8217;s swearing-in ceremony just less than four years ago about the same time she was ordered to be deported. And, what? She just didn&#8217;t mention it?<\/p>\n<p>Seems to me that a woman seeking refugee status would attempt to get her nephew the US Senator to pull a few strings for her&#8230;unless she did and he told her to stick it out until after presidential election to avoid the scandal.<\/p>\n<p>AP also makes the point that the Democrats are in damage control &#8211; so desparate are they that Obama is seeking the advice of Harry &#8220;The Original Unimproved Submarine Screendoor&#8221; Reid;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Obama did not respond to questions shouted at him by members of the traveling press corps as he exited Caesars Palace hotel here Saturday morning with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) at his side.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So already he&#8217;s dodging questions. Maybe he&#8217;s hoping he can get some of the love like Clinton got for his scandal by dodging questions and appearing\u00a0 to be a victim of the VRWC. Thing is, Clinton was already elected and we couldn&#8217;t do much about him. Obama on the other hand&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, has anyone pointed out that since she&#8217;s on public assistance, that $260 donation (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/article.php?id=081101194709.n50fbe3o&amp;show_article=1\" target=\"_blank\">that the campaign claims they returned today<\/a>) was my money?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Obama campaign has their smoke generators switched on.
