Omerta

Roger L. Simon writes,

Obama’s uncle is Onyango “Omar” Obama, 69, a Kenyan national who has been living illegally in this country for five decades. Omar, the manager of a liquor store, was caught driving under the influence recently and faced deportation. The judge apparently let him off. What’s interesting is that Omar testified during his trial that the future POTUS stayed at Onyango’s apartment in Cambridge in the 1980s while Barack attended Harvard Law. Obama has previously denied ever having even met Omar. But the Kenyan’s landlord corroborated under oath Barack Sr.’s brother’s testimony. The White House, as is its wont these days, isn’t commenting.

Around Obama there is an unprecedented silence, almost a media omertà.

From the free dictionary: omerta: A rule or code that prohibits speaking or divulging information about certain activities, especially the activities of a criminal organization.

Thanks to Glenn Reynolds for linking to Roger's piece.

Update The managing editor of the Daily Caller reports that the White House today admitted that Obama did stay with his uncle in the 1970s. Roger Simon was right. The uncle and his landlord were telling the truth.

Here is a photo of his uncle in court.
