He will do a lot better financially once The Obamassiah's Global Poverty Act passes and hands over to Africa $800 billion in money extorted from American taxpayers.

George Hussein Obama, 26, was discovered this week living in a shack on the outskirts of the Kenyan capital Nairobi. He told The Daily Telegraph that although he had hardly spoken to his half-brother, the Democratic candidate's book Dreams Of My Father was providing the inspiration to lift himself out of poverty.
"When you have a brother who wants to be the number one most important person in the world, it obviously gives you a lot of inspiration," Mr Obama, 26, said at his corrugated tin shack in a Nairobi slum.
"There was a long time when I was just taking a break, doing nothing, trying to find myself and what I wanted to do. Now I am more focused on my future, and I can say it is because I understand more about things because of hearing what Barack is doing."
Mr Obama said he has had only two brief conversations with the presidential candidate when he visited his Kenyan family two years ago. They have the same father as the Illinois Senator, but a different mother, Jael, who is now an American citizen living in Atlanta, Georgia.
Barack Obama's Kenyan family is scattered across the country, including his grandmother and uncle in the west close to Lake Victoria and several aunts and cousins living in Nairobi.
But this is the first time that his half-brother George, who had been unheard of until this week, has spoken to the British media.
The half-brothers' father died when Mr Obama was just six months old, and he was raised in Nairobi by his mother and a step-father, a Frenchman working for the European Union.
He lived in South Korea for two years from 2001, when his mother moved there for business, he said.
When he returned to Nairobi he became distanced

“My brother is my inspiration”
Well yeah, now that he’s famous.
I thought the guy was embarrased by Obama. Must have had someone fly in pronto to set him straight.
The black community just doesn’t spend it's hard earned wealth on the disadvantaged.
Would it have hurt Obama and his wealthy wife to send a few dollars to this guy living in poverty.
OOP’s sorry, the messiah is waiting to become president before sending our hard earned tax dollars to raise Africa out of poverty?
I’m sure something like that happened, along with a nice big fat check for $100.00.
"I don't even tell people that I am related to Barack Obama, "- quoted in the UK Telegraph.
“George Hussein Onyango Obama” Do all of Barry’s brothers have four names, like Barack Hussein Mohammad Obama? Just wondering.
I believe his politics have been shaped by the life he's lived, and his life has no roots, no stability, no morality, no decency, no love, no core values that match what America is supposed to be about, no honesty, no commitment, .. and everything that he has/is, has been given or taken rather than earned.
He will do a lot better financially once The Obamassiah's Global Poverty Act passes and hands over to Africa $800 billion in money extorted from American taxpayers.

What the hells wrong with this picture?.....
Rush Limbaugh just revealed that the U.S. has won the majority of the Olympic medals yet we are a mere three percent of the world's population!
Mr. President Obama! I ask you, is that fair?
We consume huge percentages of the world's energy and food. It's not fair!
Thank you for you and your brother's showing how Americans can get by with less. Your model proves we can be better citizens of the world -- we can do just fine consuming three percent or less of the world's scarce resources. Looking forward to your Responsible Resources Consumption Housing Program.
The family - I don’t understand:
“Senator Barack Obama’s “lost” half-brother”
“...by his aunt, Barack Obama’s older sister.”
Hannity just said on his radio show he is going to give Obama’s brother a donation since Obama won’t lol.
Obama is a total hypocrite. Moralizing and Bible quoting Jesus in his quest for the WH ( “what you do to the least of them, you do to me”).
With a polygamous Muslim father, there are multiple wives, and many, many “half” siblings.
Shame on you, Barack Obama. Charity begins at home.
