So we’ll skip the hypocrisy of the German family being deported -because they want to homeschool their children- against the criminal uncle of President Obama who just received legal residency status, and focus on one aspect of this story from Boston.
Within a Boston Globe article outlining the Obama story we find this apparent contradiction:
During the hearing, Onyango Obama testified, “I do have a nephew. He’s the president of the United States.”
He also contradicted the White House’s assertion that the president had never met him. Onyango Obama testified that his nephew lived with him in Cambridge for three weeks while the future president was a student at Harvard Law School in the late 1980s. (link)
At least one reporter picked up on the inherent issue:
He testified that president stayed w/ him in Cambridge when he came to attend Harvard Law.

…and further states it wasn’t just Uncle Obama who was claiming young Barack was living with him. The landlord named Alfred Ouma, who served as a witness at the hearing, confirmed Barack Obama lived with his uncle.
Ouma confirms in aside that POTUS lived with Uncle Omar. No response yet from @WhiteHouse cc @Maley44

The White House said following Omar Obama’s arrest that he and the president had never met. The president was not close to his father’s side of the family given his father’s absence in his life. The White House did not immediately comment on Omar Obama’s claim. (link)
