Obama promised his brother a quarter if he said nice things.

Somebody must have gotten to George. LOL
SURE he likes living the way he does. LOL

Mr Obama lives in a small, one-room shack made out of corrugated metal in the gritty, impoverished Nairobi neighbourhood of Huruma, where six people were killed during political and ethnic violence that gripped Kenya this year. An open sewer runs down the middle of the dirt street in front of his house. Inside his room, Mr Obama has a poster of his famous half-brother.

I guess Obama never heard of the old saying "Charity begins at home."

“I am who I am, and he is who he is,” he said. “He’s my brother and I like what he’s doing, but I also like what I’m doing. I don’t think I’ll venture into politics. I just want to get into vehicle mechanics. I love cars...
“I also aspire to be someone great, but in my own department. I don’t think it’s good, the comparison part...
Besides cars, Mr Obama also loves to play football, and he is involved in his local youth group...
If Barack Obama wins the November election, George Obama said he might go to Washington for the inauguration, but he said he will not ask his half-brother for any handouts.“I want to make it on my own,” he said.

I think I like this guy.

.....do things on my own.....

Apparently he hasn't heard that the Democratic platform committee today REJECTED the tenet of 'the individual having to be responsible for his own lot in life' but rather, the 'collective', the Barama-unified masses are responsible for everyone's lot in life. IOW, George, INDIVIDUALITY, INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM, INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY is so 5 minutes ago....

He sounds okay to me, too.

Little Green footballs had a GREAT tv ad on this about 3 days ago:

It’s totally dynamite. If played widely, He’s rosted toast.

[cookcounty]

I meant Obama will be roasted toast.

At 26, though, I think it’s time to get on with his auto-mechanic career.

I saw this guy on TV over a week ago. He seemed intelligent and was not whining or complaining at all. He was living in relatively poor surroundings but did not look like he was starving.

Barack Obama doesn't owe squat to the son of the father whom he met only once.

[patriot08]

I disagree. It’s disgraceful to be a millionaire and not help out a brother who lives on $12 a month.

[Lijahsbubbe]

So does Cindy McCain owe her sister?

[patriot08]

I think I smell a demorat.

Half-brother - and the son of the father who abandoned him.

Not a cent.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Grow up. I think I smell someone who can’t answer the question.
