Obama meets with half brother in China

EIJING — When President Barack Obama landed in Beijing on Monday on his first state visit to China, his first order of business was family business.

Before he headed to a formal dinner with China's President Hu Jintao, he set aside time to see his half brother, Mark Ndesandjo, and Ndesandjo's wife, who had flown up from the southern boomtown of Shenzhen where they live.

Describing the meeting Monday as "overwhelming" and "intense," Ndesandjo told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday that he had long anticipated the chance to welcome his famous brother to China.

"My big brother, you know I think he was on his way to see the president of China. ... He came directly off the plane, changed some clothes and then came down and saw us. And he just gave me a big hug. And it was so intense. I'm still over the moon on it. I am over the moon. And my wife. She is his biggest fan, and I think she is still recovering," he said with a laugh.

Ndesandjo said he bought tickets to fly to Beijing months ago, hoping to reconnect with his brother. The two last met in January when Ndesandjo attended Obama's inauguration in Washington, D.C., as a family guest.

The three had a long chat, with Obama being introduced to Ndesandjo's wife, a native of Henan, China, whom he married a year ago, he said. He gave few specifics about what they discussed.

Maybe that’s why Obama was doing all that bowing, in expectation of meeting this “half” brother?

Who is this half brother? Why is he living in China? Anybody know anything more about him?

I am betting he got a warning yesterday about approved topics for discussion.

Is anyone starting to think that Barack might have a half-brother in every country?

OK, google is my friend. Five minute visit, long enough for what? Certainly not brotherly love. What a creep Obama is.

There’s a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes another chance he takes
Odds are he won’t live to see tomorrow

Secret agent man, secret agent man
They’ve given you a number and taken away your name

Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Ah, be careful what you say
Or you’ll give yourself away
Odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow

Secret agent man, secret agent man
They’ve given you a number and taken away your name

Secret agent man, secret agent man
They’ve given you a number and taken away your name

Swingin’ on the Riviera one day
And then layin’ in the Bombay alley next day
Oh no, you let the wrong word slip
While kissing persuasive lips
The odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow

Secret agent man, secret agent man
They’ve given you a number and taken away your name

Secret agent man

I've never seen an ordinary persona living in China, outside of Government officials and those on their staff, dressed like Obama’s half brother living in China.

In fact, I have never seen a black man in China or any other person of “diversity”, unless they were visiting on some kind of official business.

Just an observation while I was in China. I'm not an authority but I saw what I saw.

Well, that’s pretty close to the amount of time Dear Leader spent with McChrystal to discuss the Afghanistan nuisance!

His father beat him and his mother when they were living in Kenya, Ndesandjo said.

So, after he abandoned Stanley and son, he picked up another woman, sired two children and beat them. Leave it to a young, mushy-thinking leftist white girl from Kansas to fall for a woman-beating, hard-drinking mysogynist. Liberal woman are masochists.

Yeah, I agree. He seems more human than his half brother.

Seems he is writing another book.

Apparently there is at least one excerpt in Dreams of My Father than describes the two as not getting along well.

Poor guy, they may have to send him the way of the inconvenient grandmother.

Somewhere in the requirements for the office of POTUS, the Founders should have specified that one had to come from a relatively normal American family. This is the weirdest conglomeration of relatives that one can imagine. A Communist Muslim father with multiple wives siring a half-brother who lives in a hut on $12/yr., a multi-millionaire Chinese businessman, and a president of the USA. It sounds like a Woody Allen movie.

Stanley Ann may have been a slapper but ‘twas Obama Sr who spread his seed with an alacrity to put Wilt Chamberlain to shame.

There may be other half-siblings who don’t know of their kinship with Obama Jr.

Didn't come out during campaign that Barry had a half brother living well in the the PRC. Wonder why? Not mentioned in his books either. This guy, Barry, is an enigma, wrapped in a mystery, etc. No birth record made public, no college transcripts, no passport info on trip to Pakistan. And no Lame Stream Media curiosity about all this. I'm not a conspiracy kind of guy, but this just does not add up without some marionette pulling Obama’s strings. Soros, China? Who knows?
