Obama's uncle gets Massachusetts driver's license back after drunk driving arrest Apr 3rd 2012, 15:26 President Obama's uncle has been granted a hardship driver's license by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles just a week after he lost the right to drive for 45 days in a deal in a drunken driving case. The license granted Monday allows 67-year-old Onyango Obama to drive from noon to midnight to get to work as manager of a Framingham liquor store. Obama convinced a hearing officer that the inability to drive would pose a hardship on his job working for Conti Liquors, the Boston Herald reported. Registry spokeswoman Sara Lavoie told the newspaper that Obama "met all of the criteria" to qualify for the hardship license, including a letter from his employer and proof he was enrolled in an alcohol treatment program. Obama is the half brother of the president's late father. He was arrested in August. He pleaded to sufficient facts last week. Onyango Obama is from Kenya and is appealing a deportation order.
