Barack Obama's brother lives on $1 per day ....(Is George Obama proud of Kenya ?)

Democratic US Presidential candidate Barrack Obama has a forgotten brother in Africa, whose family is at the edge of existence, earning less than $1 per day.

George Husein Owango Obama, who lives outside the media spotlight, recently decided to speak about his relationship with Barack Obama. In his interview for "Vanity Fair" he spoke about his life, however avoided giving responses to direct questions to describe his brother.

"We live here with less than a dollar per day" said George, who lives in the periphery of Nairobit. Up until now the US Press managed to track down seven of Obama's brothers, the only one missing was George.

"I met Barack briefly, two years ago. We talked, but he was somehow strange, as if I didn't speak to a brother." added George Obama.

Barack has more obligations to a blood relative than I for what he is willing to tax me for.

Imagine ... His own brother moves in under Captain BS' spacious bus.

BTW, Have you seen this? Pass it on.

According to Rosanne Barr-Pentland-Arnold-Thomas, Barack Obama's brother lives like this because of the Republican party’s worldwide economic assault on Africa over the last few decades since Reagan.

If only we had given away a few more billions, they would not be living like this. Don't worry, Barack is gonna' fix this!

Hmm. Michele Obama complains about the high cost of living in Chicago on a family income around $500K (plus the book income), then suggests that she’ll spend her tax rebate on earrings, while Barack’s family needs help and gets ignored by him.

Why am I not surprised?

Michelle "Antoinette" is right. America is downright mean. At least some Americans.

Well, well. Let’s see what Obama said just last week in the theological discussion with Mr. Warren:

“When asked what America’s greatest moral failing was, theological Obama said it was our collective failure to “abide by that basic precept in (the Book of) Matthew that whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me.” “

So — now we’ve found the ‘least’ of Obama’s actual brothers, and — Obama’s done absolutely NOTHING for him.

"...Would I be responsible to help if my step brothers or sisters were living in poverty? I think not.

Would you be responsible for raping the US taxpayer of 800 billion dollars to redistribute to strangers around the world when you wouldn't even help your own blood living in poverty? No.

That's the difference to me. It's one thing for Obama to preach about helping the poor, it's quite another to preach about it but do nothing to help his OWN brother while claiming to want to help 100 million strangers that he's never even met and has no connection to. He isn't putting his money where his mouth is in his own personal life, and that's the problem.

He's just another typical filthy leftist elitist, just like Al Gore and his global warming BS. A bunch of "Do as I say, not as I do" hypocrites.

My thoughts exactly! I have LESS obligation to help his brother than he does and yet he proposes to force us all by law to do so. Lets lead by example shall we?

John Edwards was right....there really ARE two Americas!

I would send him some money. Why don’t we make this a Freeper project and each send him a couple of bucks?
It would make a splash in the national new.
How could we find out how to get it to him?

“Would I be responsible to help if my step brothers or sisters were living in poverty? I think not.”

The difference is you’re not running for POTUS. You’re not claiming altruistic motives of wanting to help your fellow citizens have a better life.

In a sense, we, as Americans, are an extended family. How can we believe that Barack is truly running for president in order to help us have better lives as Americans, when he has no interest in sending a few bucks to help out his brother.

This whole issue goes to Barack’s credibility. Does he really care about anyone other than himself? If he can’t spare a few hundred bucks a year to help his brother, who clearly didn’t have the opportunities in life that were given to Barack, then how we can believe that he gives a damn about us - people who aren’t even related to him as a blood relatives?

Obama is a politician, nothing more nothing less.
That says it all.

So — now we’ve found the ‘least’ of Obama’s actual brothers, and — Obama’s done absolutely NOTHING for him.

When I try to wrap my head around this one, every answer BUT "Obama's a selfish narcissist", falls flat.
