Democratic US Presidential candidate Barrack Obama has a forgotten brother in Africa, whose family is at the edge of existence, earning less than $1 per day.
George Husein Owango Obama, who lives outside the media spotlight, recently decided to speak about his relationship with Barack Obama. In his interview for "Vanity Fair" he spoke about his life, however avoided giving responses to direct questions to describe his brother.
"We live here with less than a dollar per day" said George, who lives in the periphery of Nairobit. Up until now the US Press managed to track down seven of Obama's brothers, the only one missing was George.
"I met Barack briefly, two years ago. We talked, but he was somehow strange, as if I didn't speak to a brother." added George Obama.

The same could be said about BHO! Granted, we here at FR know, but the sheeple????
Barack discovers his “African Roots” to back-up a fairy-tale story in his biography, and give himself good “street-cred” in South Chicago. But otherwise, knows nothing about and has nothing to do with these relatives.
Just a quick follow-up.
We can criticize Obama for a lot of things, but not taking care of a half-brother who is the son of a drunk, profligate father, whom he probably met only once, is the least of them.
Is that an un-christian attitude? In the grand scheme of things, probably, but specifically, probably not.
Now, if YOU were to send help to George, THAT would be Christian.
So sorry, I relied on your quote at #13 which (1) says something different upon rereading and (2) was made by you, the original poster. *slapping self, pouring more coffee*
Do not worry, when BHO's Global Poverty Act passes the Senate next year, we ALL will.
You can say that again.

I could do that to myself too for not seeing it up front.
Shucks...I thought Obambi said sumtin bout "the least of etc etc " But I guess his thoughts were meant another 'political way' when he spoke to that audience...
GPA again, this thing must not pass.
michelle’s $600 earrings would last this guy for a few years.
My mother and biological father split up at the hospital when I was born. She left Arizona as soon as she left the hospital. I have never met him (don’t care) or any of my (I am sure he had kids)half brothers or sisters.
My mother has not spoken to him since she left.
I have no clue as to the circumstances of their break up since she never told me and by the time I was old enough to ask didn’t care. I had a great step father and we loved each other, didn’t matter that he was not my biological father.
Would I be responsible to help if my step brothers or sisters were living in poverty? I think not.
The vast majority of the American sheeple.....hell, the vast majority of FReepers have no idea what it is or what it contains.
Leftist commies like Obama are very generous when using other people's money to "eradicate" poverty.
And people can say what they want about Obama's pappy going around spreading his seed to the 4 winds, but if I found out I had a half brother or sister and shared the same mother or father, and they were living in poverty, first off, I'd get to know them better than just one meeting, and if they were living in poverty and I had the means (which Obama does) you can be damned sure I'd help them out any way I could.
Obama is a "compassionate" charlatan. We knew this, but this just confirms it to a greater degree than before. What a scumbag he is. The guy talks about poverty and "whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me. When I was hungry you gave me to eat..." Apparently, Obama thinks it's more important for ME and YOU to take care of HIS OWN impoverished brother, than it is for HIM to take care of him. He's such a hypocritically transparent POS.
He probably rationalizes it by saying to himself "well, just elect me president, and then I'll be taking care of my brother and millions just like him (but not with my own precious pile of money...teehee-teehee)."
Well allowed me to make you even less surprised:

Yup, I've heard Rush and TGO mention it in passing but they even seem to have no interest in discussing it.
Would you be responsible for raping the US taxpayer of 800 billion dollars to redistribute to strangers around the world when you wouldn't even help your own blood living in poverty? No.
That's the difference to me. It's one thing for Obama to preach about helping the poor, it's quite another to preach about it but do nothing to help his OWN brother while claiming to want to help 100 million strangers that he's never even met and has no connection to. He isn't putting his money where his mouth is in his own personal life, and that's the problem.
He's just another typical filthy leftist elitist, just like Al Gore and his global warming BS. A bunch of "Do as I say, not as I do" hypocrites.
