Dreams From My Brother (George Obama)

It has been a mixed week for Senator Barack H. Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate. On the one hand, a Reuters/Zogby poll announced that the junior senator from Illinois' 7-point lead over Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential candidate, has dissolved into a 5-point deficit. McCain now leads him 46% to 41%. On the other hand, the media have discovered Senator Obama's long-lost half brother, George Hussein Onyango (also spelled Owango), living quietly in Kenya. Among the rustics who compose the Democratic base, this discovery can only help Senator Obama.{skip}

Brother George will assuage the concerns of many of these liberals. According to the Italian edition of Vanity Fair, George lives in a hut in bucolic Hurma, Kenya, a few miles outside Nairobi. His residence is the epitome of "green," using no electricity, cooled solely by gentle breezes, and with no plumbing to pollute nearby waters, if there are nearby waters. George leaves almost no carbon footprint. He does not drive an automobile. In fact, he lives a very Spartan existence, spending only "a dollar a month," as he apprised VF in an exclusive interview, though other sources report an expenditure of a dollar a day. At any rate, his consumption of the world's resources is minimal.

I for one would send some money toward a plane ticket for him to visit his brother in October 2008. How nice of a family reunion would this be.

What soever you do, to the least of my brothers, that you do unto meeeeee!

At least when the cameras are rolling and when dealing with other people's money.

A close relative of a rich Democrat Presidential candidate lives in poverty. George’s life is the Demoractic vision for the United States.

Have you seen any info on the orphanage/school named after Obama in Kenya. I read he visited his namesame institution while on his overseas visit in 2006 and promised the headmaster that he would support the struggling school. I saw a website entry by an American from Kenya that was trying to fundraise for the Obama school.

I wasn't sure it was legit charity, because it didn't seem to get reported by the MSM news. /s

Good to see you FRiend!

Here you go:
“Senator Obama has not honoured the promises he gave me when we met in 2006 and in his earlier letter to the school. He has not given us even one shilling. But we still have hope.”

A pre-written advertisement for the "evil" conservatives...

More popcorn please...

George demonstrates what a Mac Daddy Obama’s father was.

[vrwc54]

You're absolutley correct on Obama's promises to the villagers which turned out to be "just words". Barack Obama's broken promise to African village

Good to see you FRiend!

Thanks. I couldn't remember where I saw it the Obama school story. Now I see it has been posted today on Free Republic on another thread.

Back at you with Freeper regards. Hope you are well.

According to the article, George’s mother Jael lives in Atlanta. Not Barry’s responsibility of course, but it would be interesting to see how she’s doing.
