Low Blow: Rep. Michele Bachmann Goes After Obama For Illegal Immigrant Relatives

video
» 154 comments

Tonight’s red-hot Republican debate has so far delivered several soundbites per candidate (Jon Huntsman and Gary Johnson notwithstanding), mostly swiped at each other. But one candidate, Rep. Michele Bachmann, took a direct hit at President Obama– or rather, his family– in a personal and profoundly unnecessary hit for having family members with immigration status issues.

As moderator Anderson Cooper went around the group asking for solutions to the immigration problem and, namely, whether a fence or other exclusion apparatus would be an option they would entertain. When it came time for Rep. Bachmann to answer, she refused to attack the policies of any of the other candidates on the stage– this after a heated exchange between Rick Perry and Mitt Romney– instead turning to the real opponent of all the Republican candidates. “The person who really has a problem with illegal immigration is President Obama,” she answered solemnly. “It’s his uncle and aunt that have had immigration problems.”

While it is true that the Obama family have had some issues with immigration, it is entirely unclear what that has to do with President Obama’s policies, particularly since there is no indication that these family members have even spoken to the President in recent memory. Rep. Bachmann rounded out her answer by asserting that she would “build a double-walled fence with an area of security neutrality” and, in a policy point that seems impossible to constitutionally enforce, “I will enforce English as the official language of the government.”

The answer went deeply personal on several levels– certainly, American born native Spanish speakers will not be too happy to hear that Rep. Bachmann essentially considers us illegal immigrants, since that’s what the question is about– but going personal against the President during a debate where he has barely been mentioned shows a willingness to get down in the gutter that simply leaves a bad taste in the mouth of most moderate conservatives looking for a level-headed right-of-center candidate to vote for against the incumbent.

    This is not a low blow! It’s absolutely relevant. His family are illegals. He ought to address this fact. And clearly it resonates in his mind when dealing with illegals.

    Quite frankly, as a wealthy American who’s suppose to uphold the law, Obama should send his aunt and uncle packing…. he can support them elsewhere. Or visibly separate himself from them and break any ties.

    But he doesn’t. His aunt was referred to in his book in favorable terms, and she even attended his inauguration as senator and donated to his presidential campaign. That makes him complicit.

    What’s with this nonsense about needing to be politically polite to a president with an aunt and uncle who live in this country illegally?

    It’s absolutely relevant.

    Things got really awkward during the pre-debate, when all the candidates and their spouses were chit-chatting. Marcus was wearing shorts and he farted and shit out a condom. Michelle quickly stepped on it then dragged Marcus by the ear backstage. As the other candidates listened to the rubber flop made by one of her high-heels as she walked away, Marcus farted again and a string of ass-beads came flying out, sailing across the floor, then into the air, finally exploding into the crowd of conservative christian voters.

    When you have direct relatives who are illegal immigrants and on the welfare system, yes, that’s fair game.  How exactly are both relatives able to do it should be fully vetted and never has been.  I do think it’s not Obama’s fault, but is it a fair question, absolutely.

    Aunt Zeituni and Uncle Omar were told to leave many years ago and they ignored it . They are here illegally .

    No matter how crazy she is – and she is that – she dresses very smartly and enunciates clearly and carefully. I’m not a Bachmann fan by any stretch, but taking cheap shots at her marriage says a lot against the one taking the shots and nothing at all against her.

    She tried so hard. She referred to Reagan again, not realizing he ‘s dead and repeated killing ObamaCare over and over. She should be sent the “She’s toast” memo again! She looked so old tonight! Wait, wasn’t there another candidate? After watching tonight’s debate in Las Vegas, I’m proud to say it really was a debate, sort of! They constantly referred to cancelling Obamacare, killing the Frank-Dodd Act, killing our Social Programs, referring to Reagan over and over! There were some boos from the crowd when Rick Perry and Mitt Romney got into their disagreeing back and forth. That was new! The entire cookie cutter candidates said they wanted America to become isolated and would pull back foreign aid! Illegal immigration made the topic tonight and everyone danced around that! Paul was the only one who addressed briefly the housing bubble! Other than that, president Obama won this debate again!

    You got it right Tina. Saying it and doing it ARE two different things. He said it, and never did it. Bristol Palin hasn’t exactly shied away from the spotlight during and since the ’08 campaign. The crazy ex-boyfriend, reuniting and breaking up with him again, “Dancing w/the Stars”, the reality show. That’s a fertile (no pun intended) well of copy there.,Rep. Bachmann is desperate to remain relevant in this race, and she took a cheap shot…period. Desperate people do things like that. She is in these debates for entertainment purposes only. The woman WON the Iowa straw poll a few months ago, and now is polling at 11% there. Her home state knows as well as the rest of the electorate, that she has NO chance.

    Since one of the big Dems who owns a Spanish station down here tried to blackmail Rubio with one of his relatives I think that it’s fair game.

I will grant that there have been some circumstances which seem to warrant further investigation with regard to some immigrants status.  But since we still lack any policy which allows a path to citizenship, we simply cannot do nothing.  As you see, republicans continue to blame Obama for the problem despite the fact it’s gone on for decades.

    This is beyond ridiculous on so many levels FRANCES.  Can we even begin to think what the headlines might’ve been had this occurred during GWB’s presidency?  As a previous special education teacher let me give you a bit of information on behavior modification.  Whenever one is trying to modify/change a bad behavior (read:  liberal bias) it’s important to realize that the bad behavior will increase just as one is making the strongest headway.  (Read:  America doesn’t like Obama’s losing policies and seriously doesn’t like the liberal media who attempts to carry the water for him…as a result the media will attempt an even stronger assault on the American public..) and just as we feel the strongest affront to our democracy…if we hold on we’ll prevail.  So, this means we’ll push through the sh*t of MSNBC, CNN, NY TIMES, OWS.  Note to media:  We’re embarrassed for you….sort of like the really bad contestant on American Idol who just doesn’t believe how bad he is?  Yes, that’s you Frances, Colby and the like.  How do you even take yourselves seriously?  Oh wait, while you might…no one else does.

    “While it is true that the Obama family have had some issues with immigration, it is entirely unclear what that has to do with President Obama’s policies, particularly since there is no indication that these family members have even spoken to the President in recent memory”
    So NOT talking to an illegal relative makes the fact that as POTUS he and his family, get to live by a different standard than rest of law abiding American citizens? Are you serious – isn’t this the same Auntie he wrote about in his fictional tale of growing up?  Some issues? That is a very PC way of putting it. What does it have to do with his policies on immigration – I don’t know since he has yet to put one forth. 

    Why shouldn’t a candidate call out the president as someone who turns a blind eye to the law in his own family? Yet some one like Meg Whitman gets rake over the liberal media coals when it is discovered her maid of 20 years was actually illegal. A maid who lied to her and falsified a SS card.  I guess if we can’t hold politicians to the standards and laws they dictate to the rest of us we have no hope of ever seeing change.

    As a life long Republican I have always been clear that each person is responsible for his or her own behavior.  For Bachmann to bring up the immigration status of Obama’s relatives shows how desperate the poor thing is to make points, even at the expense of someone who had no responsibility for his relatives behavior.  You have to believe that each person is not responsible for their own behavior to make a big deal out of the Obama relatives being here illegally.  You can tell she is feeling like she is getting further and further behind.  But it really is a great thing that she showed this side of herself.  Buyers beware.  Obviously she lacks confidence that she could be elected to the Presidency so she resorted to this sort of disgusting rhetoric.  You blew it Michelle

    Sorry to be the one to disabuse you of this old rhetoric tale, but when I visited relatives in Hawaii at the time Obama was running for election, I met a very old nurse who was working n the OB department at the time of Obama’s birth.  She was specific about bragging that she was there when his mother had her baby, and it was Barack Obama.  Then of course, his birth Certificate has been authenticated by none other than the Republican Governor of Hawaii.  Why this racist swill continues defies honesty standards.  If you think that the Secret Service never checks on stuff like that, you are definitely mistaken.  But, just keep spewing this racist stuff if that is you thing.  Even though totally wrong, it is still your right.

    I know but those pesky facts do not jibe with peoples PRECONCEIVED notion about this “black dude” so they just pretend like they do not exist.  I have met a few Democrats who spout this nonsense but mostly, it is coming from our party.  Obama won the election fair and square so let us get over it and just work on the next election.  If we put up a better candidate and that person works as hard  as Obama did, then we will have someone we chose.

  • Mari2JJ

    Sorry but even the Republican Governor of Hawaii said the birth certificate complies with what Hawaii issues.  Truth is still important even in politics.

  • Mari2JJ

    PS his mother was an American citizen so not applicable re his father’s birth place,  Anyway, citizenship follows the mother if there is any question.  But not the issue.  He WAS born in Hawaii!

  • Mari2JJ

    Thank you so much for giving me a big giggle.  I needed it after this serious discussion tht always gets my blood pressure roiling.  Frankly I have heard the same comments only with the “N” word added in generously when discussing the Presidency.  One lady even said she had seen me in precinct meetings so “Are you really a Republican.”  I had another great giggle after telling he yes.  She looked astounded.

    What the hell is he supposed to do about it? It’s not like it’s a secret… we’re having a conversation about it right now. 

    Seems to me that immigration officials are the ones who should be dealing with this, not the president. 

    Is he supposed to drive to their homes, pick them up, and then drop them off at a deportation location or something?

  • Grayce

    Oops! Where his father was born is not an issue. Although his mother was born American, that is not an issue. That Hawaii is a state like all other states, that is the issue and the end of topic.

  • Grayce

    You are so right. That’s just like someone knowing that Obama follows every syllable of Reverend Wright. That’s like someone knowing pretty much everything more than their elected representatives. That’s just what I overheard the boys at the coffee shop–or was it at the commercial at the Superbowl–saying that they knew more. And better. And they wouldn’t vote, either, because why bother..

  • AliveStillKickin

    Just like a RINO liberal “republican” to steer the blame for Obama not deporting his ILLEGAL relatives ont Bachmann bringing it up.
    Sorry, lambchop,,,,,it doesn’t wash.
    Of course you could have argured that for Obama to deport his ILLEGAL relatives would be hypocritical as he, himself is a Muslim. Kenyan citizen…….and ILLEGAL also.
    Kinda’ like Satan casting out Satan…..can’t happen.

  • AliveStillKickin

     I am afraid you will have to prove that bullsh*t claim….troll.
    That’s the dumbest comment on the thread.

  • AliveStillKickin

     PROOF POSITIVE….THE JOE BIDEN RELEASED OBAMA BIRTH CERTIFICATE:

    Where his father was born is an issue even if Obama was born in Hawaii, however it hasn’t been proven that he was born in Hawaii. It may be end of topic for you but not for those of us that are trying to muddle through the lies and deception!

    Yes and as we all know this president has been all about truth hasn’t he??  LOL

    My grandparents came from Europe, to the melting pot.  When they arrived in Stanton Island, they learned ENGLISH made their kids learn ENGLISH and didn’t want the government to put in POLISH,FINNISH as a second language it was ONLY English.  It is Bull PRESS 1 for… Press 2… etc, or the drivers test (written) which language? English is and should be made the ONLY language in the United States.  If you can read this blog thank your English teacher, if you can’t goback to class.  Eventhough I don’t support Bachmann, she has a point on language and fence. I also see her leaving the election by May if things don’t get better.

    These simple facts show the moral bankruptcy that is obama:
    1) Closely related relatives living illegally in this country.
    2) At least one of them has been surviving on public funds the entire time she has been here (years).
    3) After being discovered breaking the law (illegal alien, collecting public assistance illegally) his aunt is STILL HERE in keeping with obama’s refusal to enforce our immigration laws.
    4) After being discovered breaking the law (illegal alien, drunk driving and working here illegally) his uncle is STILL HERE in keeping with obama’s refusal to enforce our immigration laws.
     
    To those of you who don’t mind these facts and think that someone else minding is petty, I do mind my tax money going to his illegal aunt, and when his drunk driving uncle finally kills an American citizen, it hopefully will be you or one of your relatives and not me or mine since you think it’s OK!

    Liberals are so stupid. It’s holders job to enforce the law (which he doesn’t) and obama is his boss. That makes obama the CHIEF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER!

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_JYVAWGBIPKD6KM34635KNVLVGQ Lee

    Your very stupid aren’t you!? That is what makes a liberal a liberal!  It’s holders job to enforce the law (which he doesn’t) and obama is his boss (ever hear of the “executive branch?) That makes obama the CHIEF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER of the country! MORON!

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_JYVAWGBIPKD6KM34635KNVLVGQ Lee

    First of all, put abosolutely NO FAITH in anything obama or any office he has influence on, reports.
    That “report” will turn out to be just like his “jobs saved” garbage, or his money saving “obamycare” lies.
    Ever hear of his “CLASS” portion of obamycare? That is where he would save most of his money with obamycare. It just bit the dust as another unworkable lie and has been dropped.

    More Bachmann hypocrisy…demanding that her husband and children be left alone and spared from criticism and then moving in to attack Obama’s family members.

    Every single undocumented (illegal alien) in America pays property taxes. There
    are no exceptions, unless the undocumented worker lives in a church parsonage.
    Otherwise, every square inch of every apartment house and rental house occupied by illegal aliens in America is taxed every year without exception. The landlord, owner or mortgage holder takes the funds paid by t…he illegal alien and at the end of the year, pays the taxes at the same millage rate you and I pay. There are no exceptions just because they are not here legally. Just ask your local tax entity. In addition, every single illegal alien pays the exact same sales tax that you and I pay, normally 7% across the country. There are not two lines at the local Walmart, one for documented customers and one for undocumented. We all pay the same. There are no exceptions. I have started a collection of hundreds of pay stubs for illegal immigrants. Surprisingly, they all have federal and state income taxes deducted, as well as Social Security taxes and medicare taxes. If an illegal immigrant works for a company of any jsut about any size, or agriculture business/farm, they obtain an ITIN number and the illegal immigrant pays the same deductions as you and I. They are provided a W2 showing this at the end of the year. The only exception are day laborers who get paid for lawn work, house cleaning, short term jobs, etc. But don’t most American teenagers do the same…not report of these earnings and pay no taxes? Mine did. If we send these people back, the tax rolls in many states would dwindle about 20%. I don’t know anyone who wants a pay reduction of 20%, just to make them leave. Rather than send back, make them legal and use their incredible work ethic and help their kids, unless we wish to invoke Jim Crow laws as was done to keep black kids out of schools. Maybe if conservatives really acted out true Christian beliefs, which they taut publicly, rather than ethnocentric beliefs they demonstrate, we’d have a more harmonious culture.
