Full Headline: Obama's slumdog brother: Meet the hopeless drunk from a Nairobi shanty town who is the U.S. President's BROTHER

• Whilst the President inhabits the luxurious surroundings of the Oval Office and flies aboard Air Force One, his half-brother George Obama lives in a notorious African slum
• George Obama has battled addictions to drink and drugs for most of his life at the same time as his relative has enjoyed a meteoric rise to power
• The 30-year-old, who was once hooked on cocaine, says that his surname is frequently a burden to him

As a tall, strangely familiar figure leaves his one-room shack in a notorious African slum this week, a few people jokingly call out to him: ‘Mister President! Mister President!’

Heading for breakfast through his junk-strewn yard, stepping over streams of sewage, the appearance of this slim, angular man prompts giggles and pointing from children in rags playing in the muck.

The man’s name is George Hussein Obama and his half-brother is Barack Hussein Obama, Kenya’s most famous son, the first black President of the U.S. and the most powerful man in the world.

The two men may share the same father, but while Barack Obama was born in Hawaii to his father’s American second wife, George — born in Kenya — was the product of Obama Senior’s fourth marriage.

Today, while Barack entertains at the White House, flies aboard Air Force One and is a friend of film stars and royalty, George, 30, is to be found slumped in his corrugated iron shack which even fellow slum-dwellers regard as a hovel.

Of course I had plenty of help from a spineless congress for nor vetting me.

A hopeless drunk can do a better job than Barrack Obama.

They have different mothers - why would you expect they should look alike?

Uh, maybe because they purportedly have the same father? One would think with the same father there would be some kind of similarity, but there's absolutely none. George looks somewhat like this father, but Barack, not even a little bit.

You guys still getting free pizza uno from Soros there in Chicago or did that go the way of “Hope and Change” and Obama girl?

[a fool in paradise]

I’d post a picture of the Nairobi Trio (featuring Ernie Kovacs, Jack Lemmon, and Frank Sinatra) but since the are simian costume, it could be construed by the MSM as “racist”.

[Slings and Arrows]

Funny, though.
