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.

Now there's an undercover operation for someone to do.
I never heard that before. If course, S & S is the same publisher that bribed Jim Jeffords to switch parties with an "advance."
What a comedian you are. This is FR and we don't need to read no articles. We'd rather mutter drunkenly about Republicans.
BTTT for those that missed this article...
I really hope the Romney campaign can somehow get stories like this out to the public.
Your average dumbass needs to know this stuff. “What? Obama has a half-brother living in squalor in Kenya? What? He lives on a dollar a month? WTF man? I thought he was about spreading the wealth around!”
He doesn’t need to speak. He only needs to be a prominent guest.
True, D’Souza has written extensively about anticolonialism, but I heard Churchill historian James Humes (who does a bang-up one-man show about Churchill, too), talk about it in 2009. In the Q&A, the first question was about the return of the Churchill bust... Humes previously cheerful disposition clouded over immediately, and he discussed the subject brilliantly after that.
And when you compare 60s/70s radicalism, a thick layer of Marxism, and familial anticolonialism on top of that... voila - you have Obama.
Hi Doug!
That would be a nice addition to the convention - better than Michael Moore sitting with Jimmuh.
I’d vote for George Obama before I’d ever think of voting for his more famous half-brother.
