A little snippet I found in the Daily Beast, that I thought I would share with y'all. So much heavy stuff this week, that a little light and cheer can't hurt any of us.

The Times of London has turned up Obama’s aunt—in a Boston housing project. Actually, Zeituni Onyango, 56, is Obama’s half-aunt, but she is described affectionately in Obama’s Dreams from My Father. The Times says she “is a frail woman who walks with the aid of a metal stick” and for a time mentored children. She has managed to contribute $260 to her nephew’s presidential campaign and tells the paper: “I can’t talk about it, I just pray for him, that’s all. After the 4th, I can talk to anyone.”</P>                            	<DIV class="getit"><A href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article5042571.ece" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Read it at The Times of London</A></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B2B7718D-FC9D-4DEF-9132-244113B14F69/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
