Here's an intriguing thought: is Barack Obama's brother a closet conservative? Might George Obama endorse Mitt Romney for president?
The thought -- mostly facetious, yes -- was prompted by Dinesh D'Souza's fascinating new feature film, 2016: Obama's America, just now being released. D'Souza trotted the globe in search of Obama's enigmatic roots -- like many of us, doing the job the pro-Obama mainstream media refuses to do. In one of the most compelling parts of the film, D'Souza sits down and interviews Obama's brother, George, who lives in a hut in Kenya. D'Souza's crew captured grim footage of the hut; it is indeed a hut. Actually, "hut" may be a charitable description.
And speaking of charity, Obama, who loves to lecture us about being our "brother's keeper," clearly isn't his brother's keeper. In fact, it appears Obama hasn't tossed his brother anything worth keeping, or barely living on. D'Souza asked George Obama about just that, and Obama's brother graciously harbored no hard feelings toward his wealthy American brother, who, when it comes to his kin, clearly isn't paying his fair share.
But most interesting is what D'Souza heard from George Obama when it came to African colonialism. Here, too, George had no hard feelings at all. To the contrary, Obama's brother blamed not Africa's European forebears for the continent's struggles, but instead -- in a deliciously politically incorrect sentiment unbefitting of an Obama -- native Africans themselves. George Obama told D'Souza that Kenya's colonial experience is not responsible for the poverty and economic struggles there.
In the film, George compares Kenya to South Korea and even South Africa. When it comes to Kenya's economic development, Obama's brother insists that it would have been better for Kenya "if the whites had stayed longer."

We’re stuck with the wrong brother. How ‘bout a trade?
Great post. Where can we see this film? Anyone have a picture of the hut?

When I was in college, I met a few Africans who played on the track team. You could spot them easily on campus, they were the only black skinned people on campus who smiled. This spoke volumes for anyone who paid attention.
B0 thinks that “we” are his siblings keepers. And he has plenty of them. How about stepsister “Lia” who supposedly died in obscurity and poverty:

It was when it was reported a previously unknown stepsister of Barack Obama died that other questions were raised.
...researchers made the link between the president and his previously undisclosed stepsister, Holiyah Lia Soetoro Sobah, after translating from obituaries published in Indonesia.
The obituaries identified Lia as having been adopted by Lolo Soetoro, Obamas stepfather, and Ann Dunham Obama Soetoro, the presidents mother.
Indonesian obituaries make clear that Obama slept in the same room as his stepsister while the two of them grew up together in the Soetoro home in Jakarta.
Obama has not acknowledged having had a stepsister in Indonesia.
