Half brother [in Red China] congratulates Obama
Shenshen Daily ^ | 11/6/2008 | Wang Yuanyuan

Posted on 11/10/2008 8:59:06 PM PST by bruinbirdman

Obama’s half brother and six-year resident of Shenzhen, sent his congratulations to Obama yesterday immediately after the U.S. Democratic senator won the 2008 presidential election.

Daily on March 11, 2004.

Ndesandjo was very happy about his half brother’s victory and sent him his best wishes, Ndesandjo’s best Chinese friend and business partner Sui Zhengjun told the Shenzhen Daily yesterday.

“We sent text messages to each other after the election, and he was very happy with the outcome,” Sui said. “He, like many Americans, has very high hopes about Obama’s concept of change and hopes Obama can really bring changes to America. He told me he was very satisfied as not only Obama’s half brother but also as an American.”

Ndesandjo “disappeared” from the public after media reported at the end of July that he was Obama’s half brother and was a businessman living in Shenzhen. Sui refused to say where Ndesandjo was at the moment, suggesting that the First Half Brother might go back to America to avoid the media.

Ndesandjo’s company, an Internet-based consulting company, Worldnexus Ltd., in Nanshan District is still under operation despite a July Sunday Times report that Ndesandjo said it was not trading and might restart next year.

Sui, the register of the company, confirmed that Ndesandjo, the company’s former senior partner, had left the company at the beginning of this year for personal reasons but would come back in 2009.

“The company is still under normal operations. It will not be affected by any person’s coming and going,” Sui said.

Ndesandjo’s mobile was switched off yesterday morning and turned on later after the election was finished. However, several calls by the Shenzhen Daily went unanswered.

After Ndesandjo’s identity was revealed, the wine producers of Shenyang Dragon Medical Co. Ltd., Liaoning Province, invited Ndesandjo to be their product spokesman. Ndesandjo turned down the offer, saying that he would think about it after the election.

Sui said Ndesandjo still had no intention to do so, adding that his friend was “not that kind of person and preferred a quiet life.”

Ndesandjo is the son of Obama’s late father and his third wife. He came to Shenzhen from Florida in 2002 and is now engaged to a Chinese woman from Henan Province.

The Shenzhen Daily first wrote about his life in a March 11, 2004 report. The story, titled “More than just donating,” described his charity activities for orphans at Shenzhen Social Welfare Center.

How is it that this guy has so many “half” siblings in communist or dictatorial countries, but seemingly not in democracies? And he’s slated to become president?

What follows is the Chinese under this pic

美國 總 統 選 舉 而 家 進 入 最 後 直 路 階 段 , 本 來 齊 百 通 都 無 乜 理 會 呢 單 新 聞 , 不 過 , 老 友報 料 話 , 原 來 美 國 民 主 黨 總 統 候 選 人 奧 馬 巴 , 竟 然 有 個 同 父 異 母 、 名 叫 阿 Mark 細 佬 在 深 圳 居 住 了 六 年 。 齊 百 通 前 排 去 深 圳 , 搵 到 阿 Mark 的 生 意 拍 檔 隋 政 軍 , 佢 仲 大 爆 阿 Mark 上 月 同 一 名 河 南 姑 娘 結 婚 , 又 福 田 區 租 住 單 位 做 新 房 。 隋 政 軍 同 阿 Mark 搞 燒 烤 店 生 意 , 而 家 已 經 賺 到 盆 滿 滿 , 仲 深 圳 開 十 間 分 店 。 齊百通

Roughly translated by google, we get this:

I read an interview with this bro some time back and believe me, he is nothing like Barak or his dad.

They also kept trying to get him to sing the high praises of Mother Africa, and he wasn’t having any of it (though he certainly didn’t seem ashamed, either). He even declined to say he’d had anything to do with his father, if the drunk were alive.

I think he’s profoundly apolitical and just wants to make a little money (and maybe not even a whole lot of it).

No joke about the 1/2 brothers all over the globe - this poses a massive security (kidnapping) risk.

How will the Secret Service handle this? Do they have authority all over the world, with the POTUS elsewhere? This will be expensive.

Another thought - can Obama talk tough to the Chinese, knowing his 1/2 brother is a potential hostage?

So, 1/2 bro got married. After the election Mark Ndesandjo went underground. The local paper couldn't locate him. But they learned that, since he had moved to Communist China in 2002 from Florida, perhaps he would return to capitalize on his good fortune. Ndesandjo has already turned down endorsement offers.

Some of the players:

Obongo (Roy) Obama - Born from marriage to Kezia in 1958. Obama’s oldest half-brother and a militant Islamic radical in Kenya. He argues that the black man must “liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture.” Pres. candidate Barack Obama states that he is “the person who made me proudest of all.” Roy lives in the United States. Roy and Barack served as each other’s best man.

Malik Obama - Born of Kezia and Barack Sr. Malik Obama tells The Jerusalem Post in June 2008 that “if elected his brother will be a good president for the Jewish people, despite his Muslim background.”

Auma Obama - Born from marriage to Kezia in 1960. One of her high school teachers was Ida Oyoo Odinga, wife of Raila Odinga. Obama’s oldest half-sister now living in Berkshire, England and working as a social worker. Married in 1996 to Englishman Ian Manners and they have a daughter named Akinyi (b. 1997).

Abo Obama - Abo was born to Kezia in 1968 and lives in Kenya. He is a younger half-brother to Barack.

Maya Soetoro-Ng - Obama’s younger half sister born in 1970. She is a high-school teacher at La Pietra: Hawaii School for Girls in Honolulu, Hawaii, and teaches night classes at the University of Hawaii.

Bernard Obama - Barack’s half brother, born to Kezia and Barack Obama Sr. in 1970. A Muslim. Supplier of auto parts in Nairobi, Kenya.

Mark Ndesandjo - Half brother from Sr.’s third marriage to Ruth. Mark took and maintains the surname of his stepfather. He has gone to extraordinary lengths to avoid public attention and his family links remain unknown to most of his acquaintances in Shenzhen, a border boomtown in southern China where he has lived since 2002. He lives in Nanshan, a new district of high-rises and streets teeming after dark with young adults eating spicy street food and cramming into bars, karaoke joints and massage parlours. Ndesandjo, who had an elite education in the United States, collected a math and arts degree from Brown University, a masters in physics from Stanford and an MBA from Emory. His mother Ruth was an honor student from Harvard, Ruth runs an upscale daycare center in Nairobi, Kenya.

David Ndesandjo - Half brother from Sr.’s third marriage to Ruth. David took the surname of his stepfather. “David was killed in an auto accident.”

George Hussein Onyango Obama - Barack’s half brother born in 1982 to Obama’s 4th wife named Jael. Lives in a shack in Nairobi, Kenya.

Omar Onyango Obama - “Uncle Omar,” a.k.a. Omar Onyango, who lives in the projects of Boston. Records of Boston Housing Court show a “summary process” was executed against Mr Onyango on February 23, 2000, for unpaid rent of $2,324.70. Whereabouts unknown.

Zeituni Onyango - Obama’s 56 year old aunt living in U.S. illegally, resides in a South Boston slum and has ignored a judge’s order 4 years ago to leave the country. She is the daughter of Hussein Onyango Obama, who is Barack Obama’s grandfather in Kenya.

Hussein Onyango Obama - Obama’s grandfather from whom the senator was given his middle name, Hussein. Was fiercely devoted to Islam, according to an account in “Dreams of My Father.” He died in 1979. “What your grandfather respected was strength. Discipline,’ Obama quoted his grandmother as telling him. “This is also why he rejected the Christian religion, I think. For a brief time, he converted, and even changed his name to Johnson. But he could not understand such ideas as mercy towards your enemies, or that this man Jesus could wash away a man’s sins. To your grandfather, this was foolish sentiment, something to comfort women,” she added. “And so he converted to Islam - he thought its practices conformed more closely to his beliefs.”

I’m still wondering when Frank Marshall Davis wrote of “...a Kenyan student split, leving behind two pregnant blondes.” refers to Sr as well!
