Is White House Leaking for McCain

Lie, cheat, steal. 
We need to sweep this administration out of the White House. These people would do anything to stay in power. McCain is their sorry hope for keeping power. What is it that Obama has been saying lately -- Power doesn't concede without a fight, or something like that. 
The White House may have leaked information to the McCain camp regarding an Obama relative, who appears to be living in the U.S. illegally.
The wingnuts are up in arms over this (this actually isn't new, the wingnuts have been exploring all of Obama's relatives for quite some time) because they think they might be able to scare up some votes. It's not going to move anyone except for the McCain Palin's extremist supporters. Only three more days. I can barely stand it.
WASHINGTON (CNN) – A Democratic lawmaker on Saturday asked Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff to investigate a leak to reporters regarding the immigration status of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's aunt, suggesting the Bush administration may have been behind it.

"I was startled to read in today's Associated Press that a 'federal law enforcement official' has leaked information about an immigration case involving a relative of Senator Obama," said a letter sent to Chertoff by Rep. John Conyers, D-Michigan, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee.

"Even more troubling, the AP reports that it 'could not establish whether anyone at a political level in the Bush administration or in the McCain campaign had been involved,' a very disturbing (suggestion) indeed," the letter said.

"This leak is deplorable and I urge you to take immediate action to investigate and discipline those responsible."

The AP reported Saturday that Obama's Kenyan aunt, Zeituni Onyango, is living in the United States illegally, even though an immigration judge rejected her request for asylum four years ago. The story cites two sources, one of them a federal law enforcement official.
