President Barack Obama's youngest Kenyan half-brother George had to beg for help from conservative author Dinesh D’Souza because his famous brother refused him aid. Moved by the man's plight, D’Souza paid $1,000 to cover the medical bills for the man's son.
The President's seeming callousness toward his own relative was defended by Press Secretary Jay Carney as “a matter of principle. Anyone who knows the President knows him as a man of infinite sympathy for the downtrodden of the world. Yes, he could easily have afforded the $1,000. But paying out of his own pocket would've undermined his belief that the health of every individual is really the government's responsibility.”
“Under a properly working health care system the needs of impoverished people like the President's half-brother would be provided for by the government,” Carney maintained. “Were the President to undertake individual action to provide for his own relatives he could be accused of favoritism. So, much as it saddens him to see anyone suffer he feels it is a necessary sacrifice that helps build the case for universal health care.”

Maybe there’s something on the business form that releases some dearly held info....
Oops, gotta read these more closely. ;)

This is so twisted and sick that I can’t believe it. Wow.
A TYPICAL LIBERAL!He’s “Scrooge”with his own money,but GENEROUS(to a fault)with EVERYONE else’s money!!
So Barry is a christian who does not believe that “Charity begins at home”? Nor is he his brother’s keeper?

This is amazing - Romney should make a commercial out of this event. It shows how disconnected Obama is to the American concept of family and personal responsibility. It also shows his callousness - He would let his brother suffer to prove a point that government needs to play a larger role.
It sounds very factual.
Thanks for the chuckle John. Good one. LOL!
Thanks John - once again enough truth that one has to look for the semi-satire lead-in....
bkmk.
probably truer than any of us would like to think
OBAMA. IS. A. JERK.The real life Obama snubbed his own brother. There is only one word for this kind of person in the English language.
A$$hole, $hithead, are actually two that come to mind.
