White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters Thursday that President Barack Obama had lived "for a brief period of time" with his Kenyan uncle in Cambridge, Mass., when he was beginning law school in the 1980s.

The uncle, Onyango "Omar" Obama, had been facing deportation, but was granted legal residency this week in Boston.
