Obama, help a brother out (your brother).

George Hussein Onyango Obama, half brother of Presidential hopeful candidate Barack Obama, was found by members of the Vanity Fair (Italy). George Obama, 26, has been living in Kenyan hut in the town of Huruma .

Obama says that he does not often mention his relationship to his estranged half-brother because he is ashamed, not of Obama, but of his poor quality of life. Obama states: "No-one knows who I am," he told the magazine, before claiming: "I live here on less than a dollar a month." Although both Senator Obama and George Obama have the same father, Barack Hussein Obama, they have different mothers and have led completely different lives.

George has met with his brother Barack twice. Once when he was 5 years old and again in 2006, when Senator Obama stopped in Nairobi while on a tour of East Africa. George Obama plans to better his life by attending a local technical school and hopefully landing a job in his hometown...

I see this as a non-issue. The man is a half-brother he met on two occasions, hardly enough to establish a kinship that would include helping him out.

Decent people look out for their family members in need, regardless of their relationship with them.

If I had a half-brother I would never treat him this way.

Of their second meeting, George Obama said: “It was very brief, we spoke for just a few minutes. It was like meeting a complete stranger.”

If some yahoo that I had never met came to me with proof positive that we were half brothers, then gave me a sob story looking for money, I'd tell him to take a hike and crawl back to his grass hut and get a job.

That's lame. :( I would think a conservative would take care of his brother and help him and get on his feet. Family is precious and you should take as much of it as you can get.

[freespirited]

Me, too. How would we ever be able to get this man’s address?

We would approach someone like Hannity or O'Reilly, tell him we have collected money for Obama's brother and don't know how to get it to him, and ask him whether FOX would help us in exchange for the exclusive story.

FOX has the resources to find him and get the money to him in no time.

ELECTION 2008

Sen. Barack Obama, perhaps giving America a preview of priorities he would pursue if elected president, is rejoicing over the Senate committee passage of a plan that could end up costing taxpayers billions of dollars in an attempt to reduce poverty in other nations.

The bill, called the Global Poverty Act, is the type of legislation, "We can – and must – make … a priority," said Obama, a co-sponsor.

The McCains DID meet a total stranger child in a country far away, and took her home and adopted her.

If you had a half-brother a half a world away and for all practical purposes did not know the man, you would seek him out to see if he was in need? It would be one thing if Obama had rejected him but that is quite a different thing from just ignoring him as he, and you and I, would ignore most strangers.

[MilspecRob]

I agree, it the i the same vain as Cindy McCain’s Half Sister.

[billygoatgruff]

Could it be Obama considers George as the “black-sheep” of the family?

[Blood of Tyrants]

No, a few dollars wouldn’t. It would be the equivalent of giving him a fish to feed him for a day. If the man doesn’t have a plan to do something with the money other than spend it, he will just be poor again next week with a few more belongings.

[Pearls Before Swine]

He’ll help George out all right—but with your tax dollars.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I don’t. I HAVE two half brothers and two half sisters who I have virtually no relationship with. We don’t even exchange Christmas cards. They never ask anything of me and I never ask anything of them.

For all of Obama's talk about humanity...all his talk about Matthew and helping the poor...all his talk about a new society and change...the steaming pile of excrement, Barack Hussein Obama, who visitied Kenya extensively only two years ago, could not be botherd to look for, find, and help his own brother?

No kidding.

At the very least NObama could send his brother $600 so he could tell everybody he made sure all of his needs were met for the next 50 years.

We would approach someone like Hannity or O’Reilly, tell him we have collected money for Obama’s brother and don’t know how to get it to him, and ask him whether FOX would help us in exchange for the exclusive story.

Then lets do it.
How about it Freepers??

[Jeff Head]

Get it in official, well documented that it will get to the guy and he will know where it came from...and I’m in for a hundred.

[patriot08]

Can you help us get the address?
I will donate $10. (Poor guy, that’s almost a years salary!)

[Jeff Head]

I have no idea how to get his address...and that would not be enough.

We need a Hannity, Rush, or Beck...or FOX News to arrange it so we can be sure the money (all of it) gets to the guy and is not pilfered in the mail system of a 3rd world country.

[patriot08]

Lets do it! Somebody get the Obama brother’s address and lets send him a donation.
Just think, we could stick it to Obama- and change this guy’s life!

[Jeff Head]

See my post 37.

[patriot08]

Well, can you write them?
You can do it better..more articulate and well know.
