Barack Obama's long-lost half-brother has surfaced in Kenya - living like a recluse on less than $1 a month and hiding his family ties.
George Hussein Onyango Obama, 25, said he's embarrassed to reveal his identity - because he makes his home in a 6-by-9-foot hut on the outskirts of Nairobi while his world-famous brother is hoping to move into the White House.
"If anyone says something about my surname, I say we are not related; I am ashamed," he told the Italian Vanity Fair. "No one knows who I am."
Barack Obama, 47, wrote warmly about his youngest half-brother in his autobiography, describing him as a "beautiful boy with a rounded head."
The two men - 22 years apart in age - have only met twice. Once was when George was 5. The other was during the Illinois senator's emotional tour of east Africa in 2006.
"It was very brief. We spoke for just a few minutes," George told the magazine. "It was like meeting a complete stranger."

I believe it’s dave chapelle
I want to get a job writing headlines for the NYPost.
Have to love his family values. /sarcasm
I guess I am not my brothers keeper.
Hmmm. Another paper has this brother saying that he is proud and inspired by BO being his brother.
Verrrry interesting!
(But whatever you do to the least of these, you do to Me...)
Real interesting to see what they do with the brother, maybe McCain could put him up in one of his houses.
The Nobama campaign is becoming comical entertainment.
That picture is a campaign ad by itself!
I’m sorry. I thought it meant his brother was working in The Sha.ke Shackon Madison Square in Manhattan
I am not sure how many houses I own, but I am certain of the number of brothers that I have left to live in a thrid world shack, and that number is ZERO !"
Please somebody get this to those who can use it....

Are the hooves on George’s donkey properly inflated?
What paper? Which brother?
Which mother, which father?
Which country? Which doctor?
I think it would be a hoot if Rush would organize a charity drive, wherein conservatives send brother George $12 each (a year’s income for him, according to the published reports I’ve seen).
I’d kick in $12. The opportunity to humiliate Barack Obama by highlighting his utter lack of compassion would be priceless.
