Barack Obama's Ivy-League educated half-brother is publishing his autobiography next month, painting a dramatically different picture of their few meetings from the one the president related in his best-selling 'Dreams from My Father' memoir.
Mark Obama Ndesandjo includes an appendix in his book, cataloguing what he says are factual errors in 'Dreams' – including words falsely attributed to his mother, a Jewish woman named Ruth.
'A lot of the stuff that Barack wrote is wrong in that book, and I can understand that,' he told the Associated Press last year when he planned to self-publish his book.
'To me,' Ndesandjo said then, 'for him the book was a tool for fashioning an identity and he was using composites. I wanted the record to be straight. I wanted to tell my own story, not let people tell it for me.'
Barack Sr., he explains, was someone he tried not to think of since he had divorced Ruth years earlier and descended further into alcoholism and a downward career spiral.
But with Barack Jr. suddenly in his living room, brought for a visit by the future president's aunt, avoiding thoughts about their common father became uncomfortably impossible.
It was, he writes, as 'though the skeleton that no one ever talked about had strayed into the middle of a family party.'
Ndesandjo, according to a writer at WND.com who obtained an advance copy of the book, 'described their lunch together during that second day as filled with tension, as Barack struggled to embrace the African heritage of a father Ndesandjo had rejected.'
The author 'had refused even to use the Obama name, unable to forget, as a child, experiencing the alcoholism and brutality of their father.'
The elder Barack was a blithely self-involved alcoholic, once killing a man in a DUI auto accident...

This man looks moe like Obama than anybody else in his family.
Wow. Kicking his FRAUD of a brother while he’s on his way down...
Mama LIKE!
Of course a lot of the details are wrong — Bill Ayers never actually met Barack Obama Sr, so he had to make a lot of the story up.
Another book I won’t have any regrets about not buying. Or reading.
So Obama lied...
Who’d-a-thunk it.
Hey! The America-hating, white guilt honkies loved it!! Most commie libs were wishing they had a father.
So far, his brother seems to specialize in mild mannered generalities. It’s as scary as a pillow fight. I hope that my impression will be proved wrong, that he’ll come out with some big bold uncomfortable statements. He should have hired a Ghost Writer with some spirit.
They both like to use the term “Stuff” a lot. Wonder how Mark Obama feels about “Folks”.
and, from an embedded link at same site as the original article is this:
“Mr Obama’s former nanny has also been revealed as a gay transgender man who worked as a prostitute and made the future president laugh by trying on his mother’s lipstick.
‘Evie’ cared for the boy she called Barry when Ms Dunham moved to the Indonesian capital of Jakarta in the late 1960s.
1. Of course, Obama will never submit to such DNA tests.
2. But what about Obama's two daughters and future grandchildren: Will they want to submit to DNA tests in a few years, bcause in a few years, Obama's two daughters will be on their own.
3. If they want to submit to DNA tests to find out about their ancestry, there is nothing legally that Obama can do to stop them.
4. DNA tests are improving and becoming cheaper with each passing day. For instance, I think some online companies like ANCESTRY.COM offer DNA testing for only a small fee..
5. DNA tests: For instance, out of curiosity, the children and/or future grandchildren may be strongly tempted to find out if their roots go back to the Kenyan, or not.
6. My point is this: Maybe the two daughters can convince Kenyan relatives sometime in the near future, like Obama's half-brothers, to submit to DNA tests so that Obama's two daughters will find out once and for all if the Kenyan was really Obama's father, or not.
7. My guess: The DNA teste won't match. We will find out that the Kenyan is NOT Obama's father. And then all Hell will break loose.
Looks like Barack Hussein hasn’t exactly won the universal respect and admiration of his extended family.
Is it in Dreams from My Father that Obama first mentions if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor?

Concert pianist, physics degree - he sounds like an Obama that actually achieved something.
I bet he will show you his college transcripts....
Why does Mark Obama Ndesandjo look so much like Barack Obama if they don’t share a common father? They certainly don’t share a common mother.
That is what I was thinking. Second hand information is just not very accurate.
Boy, Obama Sr. must has some very special sauce for those white girls.
I guess this isn’t the half-brother that lives in Hut-Sweet-Ht?
Bill Ayers was busy.
