It looks like Barack Obama should start spreading his own wealth before he starts spreading other people’s. According to the Times Online, Obama’s aunt and uncle live in poverty just a few miles from Havard University where Obama studied.

Zeituni Onyango, the aunt so affectionately described in Mr Obama’s best-selling memoir Dreams from My Father, lives in a disabled-access flat on a rundown public housing estate in South Boston.

A second relative believed to be the long-lost “Uncle Omar” described in the book was beaten by armed robbers with a “sawed-off rifle” while working in a corner shop in the Dorchester area of the city. He was later evicted from his one-bedroom flat for failing to pay $2,324.20 (£1,488) arrears, according to the Boston Housing Court.

That same uncle managed to donate $260 dollars to Obama’s campaign while continuing to live in the ghetto. A reporter from the Times Online tried to speak with aunt Zeituni, but she said she cannot speak until after the election.

It’s pretty damn amazing that millionaire Barry tells the country with his Harvard mouth that he wants to ’spread the wealth around’ — meanwhile his own relatives live in poverty.

How can he let his destitute uncle donate more than $200 to his campaign while the guy lives in a damn slum?

We can add this to the list of stories that will be ignored by the media.
