Full article title: Obama's half-brother calls him aloof, distant Set to release bio disputing president's version of family history
NEW YORK Yet another Obama relative is about to surface in the United States to cause the president grief over the credibility of key aspects of the autobiography that helped propel him to the White House, Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.
Mark Obama Ndesandjo, Barack Obamas Kenyan half-brother, plans to release Sept. 16 his own autobiography, An Obamas Journey: My Odyssey of Self-Discovery across Three Cultures, published by Globe Pequot Press.
WND reported in December Ndesandjo initially planned to self-publish the book.
In an advance copy of the 374-page memoir obtained by WND, Ndesandjo describes his relationship with his half-brother as distant and strained.
In an appendix, Ndesandjo disputes as inaccurate and a fabrication much of what Obama presented as his African roots in Dreams from My Father, which was used to introduce his complex family story to the nation.
Ndesandjos mother was Ruth Baker, a Jewish Bostonian that Barack Obama Sr. met and married while pursuing graduate studies at Harvard. Barack Obama is the son of the Kenyan and his second wife, Stanley Ann Dunham, a white student he met while studying at the University of Hawaii.
Baker was a 1958 graduate of Simmons College in Boston with a degree in business.

Shaped like a triangle. I guess that makes sense :)
Being stoned all the time is bound to make someone aloof.
I’m still waiting for someone (anyone) to surface who knew him in college or had him as a “professor” in college.
Who did he live with while in college? The “man” is a complete mystery.
Yeah I wonder if you were friend with this President would you blab about your friendship I would
I think our previous US Presidents somebody always came out of the woodwork from LBJ to Reagan to Bush 43
I think there has been a translation error. Mark actually said “My brother is a loofah.”
From what I’ve read, Obama pretty much treats his half-siblings & other relatives like dirt. I don’t think he’d be much inclined to help his brother out if the Chinese tried to use him as leverage of any sort.
He is seen here in native Kenyan garb in a rare shot recently discovered in a White House burn bag that somehow escaped the newly installed White House diesel powered, water-cooled Acme 3000 Super Shredder. It was sent to us by a former White House shredder tender (who wished to remain anonymous -- and hasn't been heard from for over 2 months!).
And if you are offended by this photo, TOO BAD! Obama is, after all, a disciple of Saul Alinsky who advised his friends in Obama's favorite book, "Rules for Radicals" (subtitled "Dirty Tricks by The Left are Just Good Politics"), that RIDICULE is a potent and effective weapon.
There ya' go!!
“aloof, distant”
well, it would be a little late to go for “and he’ll be a heck of a president..”
I’m thinking his previous acquaintances are worried about their safety if they were to speak out.
If it were me, I’d put everything on tape and write it all down; make several copies and mail it to several news agencies along with many of my own relatives. He may get me but my story would be told.
While this book may appear critical of Obama, I suspect it’s intended to bolster his stated biography.
Did a title search of FR for the word ‘aloof’. It seems that there quite a few people that think he’s aloof.
I did the search earlier in the day when I thought that I was going to have time to post it, but didn’t.
Glad you did.
Anyway...

So Bro is about to release some articles or maybe a book, and will ‘tell all’? I’ll believe it when I read it myself. I still think he’ll either chicken out or have some ‘Encyclopedia Salemen’ visit him at 1’oClock in the morning, beeping their horns and ‘accidently forgetting’ a shotgun shell on the Living Room rug (as a WARNING not to talk to the Tea Party). “For the last time, I do not need any, ANY encyclopedias!”
OH yeah Chicagoland justice anybody
Thank you. nobama is lots of things, including aloof.
school is not the best place to find “virgins”
Agreed.
I had in mind something a bit cleaner, but certainly more devious. Let's suppose bro has credible and indisputable evidence that unlocks the mystery of O's birthplace, but is extremely reluctant for personal or family security reasons to disclose that evidence. There is no doubt, that if such evidence was held in the wrong hands, the threat that bro might "innocently" publish such evidence could be used as leverage in confidential negotiations.
