NPR Implies Blame On Cindy McCain For Half-Sisters Circumstances
Nip it, At least some of the Mc’s family’s staying at the houses, where’s Obama’s brother?
Estranged family members come out of the strangest places when the lottery is won or someone has presidential aspirations. These quiet individuals find a sense of power never felt before in their lives when a blood relative has hit it big or is about to hit it bigger. In Barack Obamas case, Vanity Fair reported on a half-brother who was recently discovered living in a small shack in Kenya. Obamas relative lives on less than $1 a month. National Public Radio found Cindy McCains half-sister, Kathleen Hensley Portalski, who is not only a Democrat but also felt slighted when McCain described herself as an only child in a previous NPR report. However, McCain did grow up without other siblings in a two parent household, while her half-sister grew up with a single mother. NPR continues to almost blame McCain for her sisters modest past and current circumstances.
