The China-based brother of U.S. President Barack Obama is about to pubU.S. President Barack Obama's half-brother, Mark Ndesandjo, says he plans to publish an autobiography in a few months' time giving more details about their relationship.

Watch your back, there, slugger. I have a hunch ol' Mark here is going to have a series of very unfortunate accidents and drug overdoses/plane crashes/dog-mauling.

I wonder who the ghost-riter will be? Maybe the same guy who wrote "Dreams of My Father?"

[K-oneTexas]

Wonder who gets to proof read it and strike the unwanted enlightening moments!

Interesting to note that Obama is going to take some time to meet with his brother — I cannot of any other instance where he has taken time out of official foreign travel during his occupancy of the Oval Office to visit with family. (He campaigned for his cousin Odinga during official travel but that was during his tenure as a senator from Illinois.)

Obama going to China before the book is published.

I bet it won’t be.

Geez, another half-brother? Shouldn’t O’s book be retitled to “Wet Dreams of My Father?”

Sorry, so bad...

Hah, he’ll come into an unexpected inheritance.

I saw an interview with this guy where he was asked over and over again about his father and he said virtually nothing. He struck me as real jerk.

I sincerely hope that numerous Hollywood airheads have invested tens of millions to make an "epic" based upon "Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance."

Not to worry, they might try and re-shoot it as a horror picture -- or lose every penny they invested. Good.

"I saw an interview with this guy where he was asked over and over again about his father and he said virtually nothing. He struck me as real jerk. "

So basically, it runs in the family.

He should start the book, "I remember vividly the night barack was born, the whole village was excited......".

But I'm sure the ZERO SCREENING CZAR will get the first draft for editing.

My question is, is this the same brother who was living on like $5 a month in a corrugated metal hut in Kenya? Now he's living in comfort, and married, in China? Just wondering.

"My question is, is this the same brother who was living on like $5 a month in a corrugated metal hut in Kenya? Now he's living in comfort, and married, in China? Just wondering."

No, the one in the hut is George the last child born to Obama Sr. He never knew his dad. The one in China, like the President, has a white mother.

From the article,

"Ndesandjo, a U.S. citizen who lives in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, holds bachelor's degrees in physics and math from Brown University, a master's degree in physics from Stanford and an MBA from Emory."

Thanks for the clarification...I guess this one doesn’t give a damn about “George” either....nice family.

This half brother lives France. The old man really got around didn’t he?

Geez, another half-brother?

I think there's enough for Ken Burns to make a documentary.
