Barack Obama’s brother George has told of the disappointment of the US president’s Kenyan family that he will not be returning to his ancestral home.

George Obama, the president’s half-brother, said there had been considerable excitement in the rural village of Kogelo, where their father hailed from, when it was announced Mr Obama was returning to Kenya.

However, despite the promise of home-cooked food and a warm welcome, the US Embassy confirmed Mr Obama would remain in the capital during his two-day trip.

That’s probably because they’re not really related. Do you see any resemblance between Obama and any of the other alleged relatives?

No home-cooked meal by his grandma? Tell me he’s not going to disappoint that old lady. Chicken-sh*t too scared to leave the capital.

Barack Obama's brother says family disappointed...

An entire nation, those paying attention and willing to admit it, is disappointed.

You want to see some excitement, let them announce the Marxist, Mooslim, Kenyan, Steaming Pant Load Sissy Boy is STAYING.

No.

It is well known that even the children of adults sometimes don’t look much like their parents though. Does Obama look like him mom? Does he look like his dad?

I don’t think he looks like either of them.

Are these folks hucksters? Maybe. I wouldn’t be surprised.

The one that made most sense to me was his grandmother, who matter of factly stated she was there when he was born in Kenya.

Where are Mrs. Obama and the girls?

They could get in on some great shopping there in the village.

I guess they are only Americans of African descent when it’s election time.

If he stays in the capitol,he’s less likely to be a target.

None i’ve seem though some say he looks like his brother bu I don’t see it. He looks more like FMD than any of them.
