FRAMINGHAM, Mass. (AP) — President Barack Obama's uncle was stopped on suspicion of drunken driving, told police he planned to arrange bail through the White House and was being held without bail on an immigration detainer, authorities said Monday.

Onyango Obama was arrested last week in Framingham, about 20 miles west of Boston, after police said he made a rolling stop through a stop sign and nearly caused a cruiser to strike his sport utility vehicle.

Police said that after being booked at the police station, Obama was asked whether he wanted to make a telephone call to arrange for bail.

"I think I will call the White House," he stated, according to a police report filed in Framingham District Court.

Too funny...yeah, get Eric Holder on the line, he's going to represent me at my trial!

What a dumbass. I figured this guy must be an 'uncle' in the sense of a family friend or distant relative, but nope they're pretty closely related

Police said Obama, who's originally from Kenya and is the half-brother of the president's late father, pleaded not guilty Friday and was being held without bail on a detainer from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In a court document, ICE said he had an earlier deportation or removal order.

Obama couldn't even pull some strings over the past few years to legalize this guy?

What a mess this guy is. :

These immigration issues are an embarrassment to the office. The POTUS has illegal immigrant relatives running about the country.

If my nephew were the POTUS and he didn't make me legal I'd drive down to Washington, DUIs be damned, and I'd kick his ass

It'll be interesting to see how much play this gets. It is an embarrassment for sure, but the real pisser is that you know Obama won't be embarrassed at all even though he should be.

While I am sure the immigration questions will come up.....I best see some POLS using this as ammunition.

I'm not in favor of corruption, don't get me wrong, but what does it say about a guy who won't even help his own family out?

Yeah.....family is family. No way out of that. Plus who says it has to be corruption. Obama could have had him serve in something and tada.....Legal Tender! >
