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...

If they had only been together that night when the UFO took Barack...he too could have been a Senator.
I guess Obama’s mother didn’t have a very good picker.
She opted for Mr. Right Now, instead of Mr. Right.
So father, step-father for Barrack were not very good “”father figures.”
So what are his credentials to direct and lead others? What he learned from his pastor?
“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.”
Yes, I would if I was going to run for POTUS, and if I walked the walk, instead of just talking the talk.
Obviously Obama has showed his vision of “family values.”
Someone you've never met? Never grew up with? Never knew until he came looking for money? Well if that ever happens to me I'll send him to you.
Send him to me. I'll give him 60 bucks and set him up for five years. Guess Bambi is a cheap SOB.
If you continue onto RUF to read the remainder of the article, George Obama is actually planning on attending a local technical school in hopes of seeking a better job and quality of life.
I think the issue here is Obama, more than most, speaks often about family values, the need to help those in need, the poor and work with failing nations to better their quality of life -— and yet he has not made any effort to help a member of his family he knows exists and HAS seen within the last 4 years. It speaks volumes about his character.
Where is OPRAH when you need her????

I am sorry this article didn't tell the whole story. There was a longer one posted earlier that explains how he wants to go to technical school to better himself.
Exactly!
LOL Oprah wouldn’t touch this.
I can fault Obama for a lot of things, but not for something like this.
Normally I would agree with you 100%.
But this is Barrack Obama, who is running for president of the United States, on the propaganda of hope and change.
Hope for the poor on the backs of the not poor. $$$ taken from the diligent and hard working, the wise and frugal, those "striving" for a better life working 50-60-70 or 80 hrs a week.
His idea is that no matter the reason, no one should be poor. His feelings are that anyone with "more" are lucky or more fortunate and "should" be obligated to help the less fortunate.
In light of this philosophy for life, Barrack should be the first to help his barely known half brother. In front of a Christian forum he quotes Bible verses, and tries to use Bible verses to justify his position. Well here is a Bible verse for BHO
1 Timothy 5:8 If anyone does not take care of his own relatives, especially his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
Obama's tax forms from years past Obama Releases 2000-2006 Tax Returns show that for the 5 years before 2005 his charitable giving was only about 1% on average. It wasn't until 2005 after becoming a politician that he uped his charitable giving and only to 4.7% and 6.1%.
Not very charitable himself, for someone who wants to be "charitable" with other peoples money.
Maybe Obama figures his Global Poverty Act would take care of his brother, so he himself wouldn't have to.
How is it any different from all the taxes that Obama plans for us to give in the name of "poverty" and "fairness"?
There is no difference. The ‘Rats would have people dependent on them for their fish than to make them into fishermen.
