"It paints a shocking picture of his abusive and alcoholic father, one that is at odds with the man portrayed in Dreams From My Father, President Obama's best-selling 1995 memoir."

Obama lied? Now there is a surprise! Say it isn't so.

[Palladin]

Once again, the truth comes from a British source.

[Yogafist]

I don’t even believe that is his father, which is why he won’t release his birth records.

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

I thought it was well known that Barack Obama was killed in a car wreck caused by his drunk driving.

[ncfool]

Hopefully this will become a New York Times best seller!

Ya right.

[Nosterrex]

It should be clear by now that Obama’s account of his father is pure fiction. Why it was necessary for him to invent a father is something for a psychiatrist to discover. In the way in which he disowned his maternal grandparents indicates that Obama wants to associate with his blackness and his embarrassment over his white lineage. He has been taught that whites are evil and blacks are victims. It is part of his understanding of Christianity in terms of Black Liberation Theology. The fact is that Obama and Michelle got where they are today by “white guilt” and the “white created welfare state.” Their education and opportunities were provided by the money that comes from white people. All of these facts are an embarrassment, and he tries to compensate by adopting the economic structure of a banana republic.

Mark Okoth Obama Ndesandjo

is this the brother that lived in a hut somewhere - and

can someone explain the name.

There is a resemblance — unless photo has been doctored

[HelloooClareece]

Obama’s view of his father is a window into his psychological state, if nothing else.

Paint a pretty face over a grotesque fact and hope that in time it becomes truth. He did it for his father and he does it for his ideology.

It’s actually pathetic, and dangerous because of his power to persuade others.

“DREAMS OF MY VIOLENT DRUNKARD FATHER”
Our alcoholic father beat me, says Barack Obama's half brother, Mark

Yeah, but he only 'beat' Barry every 3rd Tuesday. And with a wooden spoon from the kitchen not a big leather belt, so no big deal. Plus, whose to say?... they prolly deserved the 'beatings'.

One person's "beating" is another person's "spanking".

[Yaelle]

Well, this brother KNEW the father. Obama only met him once and Bill Ayers never met him at all. So of course their book doesn’t have the full scoop.

[RichInOC]

If I were responsible for bringing that kid into the world, I’d drink too.

[MrDem]

Gibbs: “That all depends what the meaning of BEAT and VIOLENT DRUNK is.”

"It paints a shocking picture of his abusive and alcoholic father, one that is at odds with the man portrayed in Dreams From My Father, President Obama's best-selling 1995 memoir."

Dreams From My Father is also at odds with accounts by the other American "wife" of Obummer Sr, as well as being at odd s with several other sources.

This "revelation" could only be a surprise to AP, Reuters, Huffpo, Kos, and DU.

[43north]

Think about this. The last two dhimmiecrat pres_ents have come from single parent households where the fathers were scumbags.

This provides no excuse for what they did/are doing but it may help explain things.

BHO: 50% white, 50% black, 100% red.

There is a book about "Adult Children of Alcoholics"? Here is a partial list I found of their characteristics: (followed by my comments

1. Guess at what normal is.
      The Kenyan doesn't demonstrate that he has a clue what normal is, unless you classify it a "normal" for muslims.

2. Have difficulty in following a project through from beginning to end.
      obama runs the office like the cowboy who jumps on his horse and rides off in ALL directions. He lack of focus is legendary and he's all over the board, taking on too many government takeover projects at once, while ignoring things are important to Americans.

3. Lie when it would be just as easy to tell the truth.
      This one really needs no comment, he would climb a tree to tell a lie, when he could tell the truth on the ground.

4. Judge themselves without mercy.
      His favorite subject is himself, that's for sure.

5. Have difficulty having fun.
      Acturally there is a hateful and mean streak that comes out when he speaks, as his speeches are laced with threats, and chip-on-the-shoulder comments, tempered with "look at me, look at me" narcissism.

6. Take themselves way too seriously.
      What was his initial comment? "Hey, we won!". And I've heard him reiterate on several occasions "I'm the President". He thinks his mission is to change the world in to his vision, and wants to be the king of the world.

7. Have difficulty with intimate relationships.
     
      Didn't some of this come out in the article about his marriage recently?

8. Overreact to changes over which they have no control.
      Oh, this one fits him to a tee...when he doesn't get his way he goes into a snit and seeks revenge. Why DIDN'T he attend the Berlin wall ceremony?

9. Constantly seek approval and affirmation.
      barack hussein obama is narcissism PERSONIFIED.

10. Feel that they are different from other people.
      He tries to display an air of superiorty, but that is commone with people who really feel inferior...it's a defense mechanism...and obama is always on the defensive.

11. Are either super responsible or super irresponsible.
      Yup! That about fits him. He is most "responsible" to his leftist brethern, and irresponsible about most everything else.

12. Are extremely loyal, even in the face of evidence that loyalty is undeserved.
      He fancies himself as champion of the underdogs...of course his favorite underdogs are the people who voted for him, i.e. unions, ACORN, idiots, etc.

13. Tend to lock themselves into a course of action without giving serious consideration to alternative behaviors or possible consequences. This impulsivity leads to confusion, self loathing, and loss of control of their environment. As a result, they spend tremendous amounts of time cleaning up the mess.
      Number 13 sums up his entire presidency so far...

If the story is true ... and there’s no reason not to believe it ... Obama Sr. never spent any time with Junior in any case. Whether he was a violent drunk or not, is irrelevant to the current occupant of the WH.

[gaijin]

A pattern emerges: When the US has a very liberal president, the most important stories are broken by British newspapers.

Is that because they somehow become energized? No.

It’s almost like a silent magic signal goes out, and US newspapers stop doing their jobs —they banish their furrowed brow, and they break out the knee pads.

But it’s OK, because this time around they’ll just go out of business.
