White House Acknowledges Obama Did Spend Some Time Living With Kenyan Uncle in Cambridge

Obama campaign previously said he had never met his illegal immigrant uncle, but the White House press secretary now says no one had bothered to ask the president

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.

"In 2011 White House spokesmen told reporters that Obama and his uncle had never met.

But until this week, nobody on the White House staff had asked the president about the matter."

WTF? Seriously, who's in charge at The White House. Do they just make stuff up as they go along?
