A few days ago I received a call from a man I recently met named George. He was a bit flustered, and soon informed me that his young son was sick with a chest condition. He pleaded with me to send him $1,000 to cover the medical bills. Since George was at the hospital I asked him to let me speak to a nurse, and she confirmed that George’s son was indeed ill. So I agreed to send George the money through Western Union. He was profusely grateful. But before I hung up I asked George, “Why are you coming to me?” He said, “I have no one else to ask.” Then he said something that astounded me, “Dinesh, you are like a brother to me.”
Obama’s refusal to help George is especially surprising because George doesn’t just live in American-style poverty but rather in Third World poverty. He lives in a shanty in the Huruma slum in Nairobi. He gets by on a few dollars a month. Obama also has an aunt named Hawa Auma, his father’s sister, who ekes out a living selling coal on the streets of a small village in Kenya. She says she would like to have her teeth fixed, but she cannot afford it. Obama hasn’t offered to help her either.
Incredible though it seems, George Obama is, within the context of his own society, a conservative. He doesn’t worship at the shrine of Barack Obama Sr. and he espouses an ideology diametrically opposed to that of his father and his famous brother. George has experienced first-hand the empty rhetoric of the two Baracks, and he rejects it based on his actual experience of Third World poverty.

This illustrates the primary difference between conservatives and liberals.
Conservatives believe that we each have an individual responsibility to help others. Liberals believe it is the responsibility of the government to forcibly redistribute money from those who have it to those who those who liberals believe should have it.
This is why conservatives make far more in charitable contributions than do liberals (both in total dollars and as a percentage of income).
Why does George Obama need private charity? Doesn’t a progressive African social democracy like Kenya have free medical care?
I’m shocked I tell you.
I don’t have Obamas money, he has mine. If I had the money I would.
Denesh while filming in Africa didn't feel safe. I doubt George has a death wish by telling his story to a GOP Convention, especially since he would need to Satellite up in Africa without a Visa.
D’Souza should have put George in touch with romney and let Romney pay it.
Think about the political mileage Romney could have gotten out of that!
How old is this George? If he is under 30, I’m sure we can figure out how to get him into this country to take advantage of his brothers back door amnesty! Then put him on stage!
This article explains a lot. George Obama rejects the anti-colonialism of his half-brother & father. Barry can’t stand it.
Liberace had a brother George.
I like it!
bwahahaha - Who would like to make a bet that bambi is going to try and employ something similar to what Mitt just did. Romney is leading him by the neck. 3 2 1 GO
Home sweet hut, George!

A couple of years ago, George teamed up with a British journalist Damien Lewis and the two of them published George’s story in a book called “Homeland.” Yet according to Lewis, shortly before the book’s publication in America, the publisher Simon & Schuster decided to shred the entire print run, more than 20,000 copies.
Lewis tried unsuccessfully to get an explanation from Simon & Schuster but to no avail. He now suspects that the White House convinced Simon & Schuster that George’s story might prove embarrassing to the president.

n 2010, George also applied for a visa to come to the United States and was refused. While George confesses that in his younger years he was a delinquent, he has never been convicted of any crime.
Moreover, he has a very good reason to visit the United States: his mother Jael Otieno lives in Atlanta. So why would the U. S. embassy in Nairobi refuse a tourist visa to the brother of the president who just wants to spend time with his mother?
In the past few days, an article has been circulating on the web that depicts George as a social undesirable.

How many under Obama’s bus now?
That's true, but this "anti-colonialism" thing is Dinesh's pet idea, something that he sees everywhere, so he's going to play up the theme.
bkmk
Dinesh should ask his grateful brother George for a DNA sample, and somehow acquire one from Soetobarkah (hint — he seems to frequent fast food joints and slobber on straws). Next, a sample from Mark Davis (son of Frank Marshall Davis), and we’ll see who’s whose.
Wow.
I’ve read a lot of work by Dinesh D’Souza. I’ve never found him wrong on his facts. If this was Romney’s half bro, the media would be slithering all over it.
Well, that was awkward! That last post to you should not even have been in this thread. Not sure even how it jumped to this one. :\
George’s book. E-book and print

What a hypocrite! Impose ObamaCare on us all and allow his own family live in dire poverty in a hut on $10 a month, unable to pay his sick child’s hospital bill.
I suggest everyone read the whole article.
SHAME ON YOU, BARACK OBAMA!
