U.S. President Barack Obama says he took five minutes out of his busy overseas diplomatic schedule to meet a half-brother who lives in China.
Mr. Obama told a U.S. television network that he met Mark Ndesandjo and his wife briefly Monday in Beijing, where the U.S. president held meetings with Chinese leaders this week.
The president has the same Kenyan father as Ndesandjo, who recently published a book, Nairobi to Shenzhen, describing Barack Obama Sr. as abusive.
President Obama said he does not know his half-brother very well. He said it was not a secret that his father was a troubled person, noting that he wrote about his father's alcoholism in his own book, Dreams of My Father.
Obama Sr. married Ndesandjo's mother after divorcing Mr. Obama's American mother when the president was a child. Obama Sr. died in 1982.
President Obama said his time with his father was a sad part of his history and his background, but he does not spend a lot of time "brooding over it."
Ndesandjo traveled from his home in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen to meet his half-brother. The last time they were together was at the president's inauguration in Washington last January.
~~So many worshippers, so little time ........... PING!
I doubt Barry gave this guy time of the day
Zer0 is quite the mensch.
His time is very precious you know. It takes a lot of time to tear down a nation like the US. He has also shown little if any affection towards his mother or father. His wife and kids should be worried when he is kicked out of office.
This Obama extended nation family sitcom gets sillier by the minute...
***President Obama said his time with his father was a sad part of his history and his background, but he does not spend a lot of time “brooding over it.”***
Should his book perhaps have been entitled; *Nightmares of my Father*? by the ghost writer, Wm.Ayers.
by way of Brown University with a mathematics and arts degree. Then, Stanford University in Palo Alto, California for a Physics degree. After that, an MBA degree from Emory University. AA at its best
I guess his Asian Adventure wasn’t a total waste of time and taxpayer dollars.
Maybe obama should have titled the book “Dreams of my drunken father”.
“Dreams of my drunken father”, ghostwritten by Prince.
It was as far as I’m concerned.
All this gallavanting around the globe is what you get when you take a lazy goldbricker who never did an honest day’s work in his life, and hand him an unlimited expense account and the keys to a Custom-built Boeing 747.
Yeah, but you gotta remember, he said the same thing about Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright.
LOL - this has gone Twilight Zone. Obama is talking about his foreign father in the news now, along with his half-brother from that foreign father?
That anyone can still assert he’s “natural born” is astounding.
Barry got a college scholorship for foreign students under another name.
Mark sounds like a very nice and well educated man.
Sure you don't barAck. I'm sure you put that in the lock-box, plus, you're so busy with your new toy-THE WORLD.
Wait, is this the guy that lives in a hut or is this a different brother
