To be fair, he could have been referring to his daughters. Or his illegal Aunt Z. Or even Uncle Jeremiah.
President Obama traveled to the economically hard hit Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania to say, "I know times are tough." To illustrate his message of commiseration, he suggested that joblessness hits close to home. He told a community college audience in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, "Michelle and I were talking the other day. There are members of our families that are out of work."
The man is allowed to just make things up, with no consequences. He's pathological. It's that simple.
A White House official declined to identify any unemployed relatives of the Obamas except to say, "I don't think they are close close" family members.

Those are the same unemployed family members who liberated Auschwitz. You know, Uncle Watzisname. And another one.
If he wanted to relate to the people. He should have just repeated what he said about rural America.
“You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them,” Obama said. “And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.
And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
BTW, what the hell is in the stimulus for rural America?
