Obama's half brother arrested on charge of marijuana possession
CNN ^ | January 31, 2009 | David McKenzie

Posted on 01/31/2009 4:47:48 AM PST by Zakeet

George Obama, the half brother of U.S. President Barack Obama, has been arrested by Kenyan police on a charge of possession of marijuana, police said Saturday.

Inspector Augustine Mutembei, the officer in charge, said Obama was arrested on charges of possession of cannabis, known in Kenya as Bhang, and resisting arrest. He is scheduled to appear in court Monday, Mutembei said.

He is being held at Huruma police post in the capital of Nairobi.

In his memoir, "Dreams from My Father," Barack Obama describes meeting George as a "painful affair." Barack Obama's trip to Kenya meant meeting family he had never known.

McKenzie tracked down George Obama in August 2008 and found him at a small house in Huruma, a Nairobi slum, where he lives with his mother's extended family. His birth certificate shows he is Barack Obama's half brother.

The two men share the same Kenyan father. In the memoir, Barack Obama struggles to reconcile with his father after he left him and his mother when he was just a child.

My toked up brother is just continuing the longstanding practice of quality Rat spawn in tradition of Billy Carter, Sister Ruth Carter, Roger Clinton, and Hugh and Tony Rodham.

One likes pot and the other likes it all... even while being serviced by Larry Sinclair in the back of a rented limo! I wonder if we will ever get the stench of evil cleansed from the White House? Will he even leave when the time comes?

It's cheaper in Kenya which is why you get more Bhang for the buck.

George Obama paid 100 grand in back taxes as he was vetted, oops wrong thread. George only makes $20 a year thats why he was a painful embarrassment to Barry Dunham.

George is the half-brother, while Obama is half brother.

A bailout? Take a number and have a seat. A Senator will plead your case. Next!

SOP in these countries is to arrest people to get money from someone else.

Back when Urgeth Urbina was pitching for the Detroit Tigers, his mother was kidnapped in Venezuela. He spent nearly a year paying the Chavez government to get her back. Finally he paid someone else to rescue her.

maybe some dis-satified libtards in MSM will pick up the story

Here’s what I found out from reading the article: Georgie claims innocence and cannot understand why he was picked up for marijuana possession-see- Vanity Fair’s article was pretty good when their guy/gal went to visit Georgie in Kenya and reported on his lifestyle so you’ll have to find VF article for that on your own. It really was a very descriptive mess.

KeyWORD: HURUMA

“George Obama who was in mid 20’s said at that time he was learning to become a mechanic and was was active in youth groups in Huruma”.)www.cohre.org/store/attachment/Slum/upgrading and humanrights.pdf

also www.slumcodegroup.com/achievement.html

HURAMA is slumcode and they are community organizers following the alinsky method

if i’ve made mistakes in posting this most important information I beg pardon and also on the other side of the coin. Georgie O was probably ready to blab and make a deal with the NYPOST ,VanityFair,etc... and he would have some degree of financial security if he revealed family background on BHO(SillyPutty)
Grandma Obama has been most likely bullied into silence along with the rest of the family.
