Barack Obama's 'lost' brother found in Kenya
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstop ... Kenya.html

nator Barack Obama's long lost brother has been tracked down for the first time living in a shanty town in Kenya, reports claimed.

The Italian edition of Vanity Fair said that it had found George Hussein Onyango Obama living in a hut in a ramshackle town of Huruma on the outskirts of Nairobi.

Mr Obama, 26, the youngest of the presidential candidate's half-brothers, spoke for the first time about his life, which could not be more different than that of the Democratic contender.

"No-one knows who I am," he told the magazine, before claiming: "I live here on less than a dollar a month."

****

Well they know you now! Do you think this is REAL? Just think of the stark contrasts drawn, if so.

If it is true, then I think it is shameful on Barack Obama's part. He's done nothing to try to help his brother.

On the other hand, I have a half-brother that I've had virtually no contact with except for a couple of brief periods when he was a child. I see him from time to time, and the sheer awkwardnesses involved in how we are related form barriers (he's a Jehovah's Witness, my former stepmother was a complete nut, he is married to a black woman who's also JW and he is intentionally distant but amiable despite my own efforts to have a friendship with him ---- and I understand that, all of it, and why he's that way. I love him, he's my brother.) I have a half-sister that, although I grew up in the same home with her, I have virtually no contact with now (nor she with me) by mutual desire.

My point is that these crazy sort of soap operas that develop in split families very often turn out this way. I don't think BHO is to blame for a situation he didn't create. At the same time, the guy is a Harvard Law grad, US Senator and Practical President of the Free World, and he should be ashamed for turning a blind eye to the obvious plight of his own flesh and blood.

Yes just the stark contrast is amazing from two sons by the same man. Either this will help or hurt him seriously. I don't think it's going away. Remember how Bill Clintons brother kept popping up? Imagine this!

Concerning helping each other... I don't think this Kenya Obama would turn down a helping hand imho from his article. I could be wrong.

The thing of it is, Obama wants to confiscate our money by force (through government mandated taxation) to "care for the poor", and yet, he apparently uses none of his own money to help his own brother who is living in a shanty town.

Liberals are really good at spending other people's money, but not so good at helping others with their own.

McCain should send some money to help this man, think of the PR spin he could put on that!

Yeah, now think of that. McCain couldn't bear to leave a little girl in Bangladesh, so he brought her back here and adopted her. AND, he brought back a 2nd little girl from the same orphanage and one of his aides adopted her!! Barack Obama simply writes about the shape of his brother's head in Kenya and is quiet about the shanty he continues to languish in today. Stark difference in putting your own money where your mouth is, isn't it??

Mr Obama, 26, the youngest of the presidential candidate's half-brothers,

The article calls the man "Mr. Obama". This seems fishy to me.

What are they supposed to call him? Mrs. Obama?

[Full Quiver]

Nevermind I missed the last name. I always think Obama is the first name. Isn't there a guy in Tora Bora named........ oh nevermind again.

[dolfan]

Hey, FQ, you any kin to Danny Thomas?

[Full Quiver]

nope

[Dr. Ron]

I just wonder how prominent the name is in that corner of the world.

I am certainly not related to all the Hamms in this country. And there are sooooooooo many Joneses and Smiths and .........well you get it.

BO don't give a hoot and hollar about anything. If he will kill babies, why would he stoop to help a half brother.......(images of Clinton's brother)

Exactly. But be sure to put a huge "s" on that brother comment when related to Obama.
