I guess that being a 'Citizen of the World' has hidden relatives all over the world.

BEIJING (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama took time out of his busy diplomatic schedule in China to meet with his half-brother, who lives in the southern part of the country -- but only for five minutes.

Jeez! He spent more time with the pizza guy he flew in.

Does anyone else feel the “weirdness” of this guy’s lack of interest in his half brother?

Maybe common paternity is not a tie that binds them

Plus we got the guy in Kenya in the tar paper shack and the aunt on welfare in New England.

At least Bill Clinton helped Roger find some good blow....

It's called solipsistic narcissism. If you don't have anything to offer they literally have no interest in you.

thats about what his kids get...photo ops

There are occasional articles now appearing in China Daily and Shanghai Daily. Obama’s half brother is always presented as a radical freak-thinker. Weirdo. Fairly highly educated. But then so are the Marxist radicals in the USA.

When you have about 70 of them, it gets hard to work up the same type of bond.

[Bon mots]

Is that the one from the family who named another brother or cousin "Fidel" after Fidel Castro?

I'm surprised he doesn't have another brother in North Korea.

[Syncro]

Quite a family resemblance there.

Looks like the masculine version of Barrack

[rexgrossmansonlyfan]

He hasn’t figured out a way to use him like he used his grandmothers yet.

[The Comedian]

Mark Okoth Obama Ndesandjo is an actual businessman.

Obama spent 5 minutes with him.

Obama now has 5 minutes of business experience.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I am just glad he spent less time with Mark than with General McChrystal.

5 minutes. That was mighty white of Obama.

I want to see DNA evidence of this assertion that “Barack Hussein Obama II” is in fact the genetic descendent of the Kenyan Barack Hussein Obama the senior.

Frank Marshal Davis or Malcolm X are both much more likely candidates for the sperm donor in this instance. Stanley Anne Dunham was clearly out of control at an early age. The exchange student from Kenya was just the patsy who played the stooge.

I guess when your dad is nothing but a globe trotting sperm donor you end up with a lot of widely dispersed half-siblings.

The Eric Holder "Just Us" Department has declared you and the rest of us have no standing to pose such demands. We've been duped, and the Progressive Marxist Juggernaut is plowing ahead with their agenda.
