"We're So Sorry, Uncle Omar"

Onyango 'Omar' Obama
Excerpted from Boston.com:
FRAMINGHAM - The uncle of President Obama arrested here last week on drunken driving and other charges has been a fugitive from deportation since 1992, according to two federal law enforcement officials with knowledge of the case.
 
Onyango Obama, who is from Kenya and is known as the president's Uncle Omar on his father's side, had lived a quiet life in Massachusetts until last Wednesday, when police said the car he was driving darted in front of a police cruiser, nearly causing the officer to hit his car...
...
Onyango Obama's sister, Zeituni Onyango, also faced deportation before a Boston immigration judge granted her asylum last year. She, too, had avoided the spotlight, living in public housing in South Boston despite a deportation order...


We're So Sorry Uncle Omar

We're so sorry Uncle Omar
We're so sorry if we caused you any pain
We're so sorry Uncle Omar
But there's no Green Card left at home
And I believe that ticket will cause some pain
We're so sorry but we haven't heard from your nephew all day
We're so Sorry Uncle Omar
But if deportation should happen we'll be sure to send you away

We're so sorry Uncle Omar
But we haven't heard a bloody thing all day
We're so sorry Uncle Omar
But the President’s not on the phone but it’s so hard to deport today

Head across the sky

Head across the sky
President Obama notified me
He had to had fix the economy or he couldn’t go to sleep
Krugman had another look and we had a cup of TEA and peanut butter pie
(the peanut butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie)

Head across the sky
Head across the water (Kenya)
Head across the sky

Live a little be a gypsy, get around(get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around
Live a little be a gypsy, get around(get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around

Head across the water (Kenya)
Head across the sky
Head across the water (Kenya)
Head across the sky

With all due apologies to Paul McCartnery...

The original, much better written, 'Uncle Albert' from 1971 - when I could run faster, jump higher, and I could never have imagined that a sitting President might have an extended family of illegal aliens living here...
