I heard about this on the radio but haven't looked at it yet. Thanks for the reminder. Supposedly it's his half brother.Quote:

Perhaps I'm just making an assumption here that Barry left his brother in Kenya to be forgotten, but you have to understand how it's hard to assume otherwise. Who would ALLOW their brother to live in a 6' x 9' shack on $1 a day? I would be doing everything in my power to help him get out of poverty and into America if he wanted it.
It just reinforces my belief even further that Obama doesn't care about the people about the United States but rather his own ego, image and agenda. If he doesnt help his own family how can you believe he's going to help the low to middle class that he claims to support and stand for?
Whoever get's left behind and dumped on the way to the Whitehouse is ok right?
:S4:

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 Nairobi (Kenya). 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.
MINA Breaking News - Barack Obama's brother lives on $1 per day
I guess there was an interview for Vanity Fair according to this. Seems ol' Barrack never heard of the phrase "Charity begins at home".
Have a good one!:s4:
If Obama gets elected, would that mean we have to send secret service agents and a limo to his bro and protect him? :upsidedown:
He won't help him and we might have to?/? This has been a concern of mine since day one and I really would like to know if anyone knows the answer?
Considering the person in charge of the Nat'l Demo headquarter's was shot in Little Rock, I am expecting violence to excalate. As a result of Obama. Is that a legit fear? Plus, our tax money protecting people all over the world coming out like breeding bunnies (every 28 days)? I am sure there are many. I just see a problem brewing!:twocents::twocents:
This is a serious question. Thank you! pr
After several name revisions, the force officially adopted its current name, the United States Secret Service Uniformed Division in 1977. While protection of the White House Complex remains its primary mission, the Uniformed Division's responsibilities have expanded greatly over the years.
They now protect the following:
the White House Complex, the Main Treasury Building and Annex, and other Presidential offices;
the President and members of the immediate family;
the temporary official residence of the Vice President in the District of Columbia;
the Vice President and members of the immediate family; and
foreign diplomatic missions in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area and throughout the United States, and its territories and possessions, as prescribed by statute.

I don't think that this would include his numerous brothers and sisters. Doesn't really matter, he doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning as far as I'm concerned.
Have a good one!:s4:
And if he did get his brother money and a job, we'd be hearing cries of nepotism and how he cares more about Africans than Americans from you.Quote:

His logic is, how america thinks the grass is always greener on the otherside of the street. we always bitch about something / always find something wrong with it. pretty common :cool:Quote:

Damn, its funny what people choose to attack a candidate on. its obvious that they didnt hit it off when they met so maybe he didnt feel like giving to a stranger. last thought, those that much is given much is required. Give them a thousand now and maybe he will "need" a thousand later!
Hand out, is not a hand up. :rastasmoke:
Your brother probably doesn't live in a shack on $1 a month. Your full blood relatives may not give you a dime but I bet none of them had an income over 2 million in the last year.Quote:

I first saw this on Drudge, then heard a blurb about it on the EIB. I had to pull over I was laughing so hard I thought I was going to piss myself or get in a wreck!
Maha says something about "the least Obama could have done was send him a rice cooker, so long as fedex would deliver to a hut. " Then he apologized for the insensitive comment since it was very likely that his brother didn't have the any rice.:D
Then he went on to say something to the extent of how Obama has now ruined watching Monday night football because every time he here's the words "hut hut hut" he won't be able to keep himself from laughing hysterically!
Funny stuff.
Seriously though, why would Obama want to help him out? He is living the life that Obama has planned for Americans, (except for himself of course).
Think about it, this guys carbon footprint is probably next to nothing! I mean compared to us evil bastards, how much of a carbon footprint does a camp fire have?:D
how much would you like to wager? I assure you'll lose this bet! I just learned a long time ago that other peoples money is other peoples money. you cant expect others to take care of you. Im in the worse place financially speaking that Ive ever found myself in and Im not not out there with my hand out. Could I make a phone call that would allow me to sleep at night, sure. Im just saying from what I've seen in life that many people start to expect these gifts. and Im not saying that i wouldnt give money to my half bro. Im just saying that I wouldnt give it to him because hes family. I would give him money if i could help him out because I know hes a great hard working person that if he asked it was because he really needed it! but I have full blood family members I would never give to because i dont feel the need to help them drink more!Quote:

Have you read my posts? If yo uhave you would know that I am the last person who is for hand outs and I understand being against that. However you seem to have mixed up the message of extending a hand to family with Begging. I am saying Obama should have taken initiative to help his brother. If a person will not help his own brother how can you expect him to help the American people whom have even weaker ties to Obama.Quote:

There is a difference between you and your family and Obama and a brother who lives in poverty, in a 10x10 shack on $1 a month. You say I will lose this bet? I am willing to take this bet. I am confident that you are not in such a situation. There is no way you could really prove anything yo usaid anyway so continue if you want but anything you say on this subject is just heresay and to be quite frank is irrelevant to me. If your situations are similar then I would condemn the cold hearted party as well.
So if charity is charity.. then it is accurate to say that Obama is not charitable?Quote:

And it's not that Obama doesn't give money to someone he doesn't know. Anyway you slice it or dice it they are brothers and he is in perfect position to help out a family member. Combine this issue with the countless of other questionable issues and people surrounding Obama and you get a true sense for the type of man he is.
"Seriously though, why would Obama want to help him out? He is living the life that Obama has planned for Americans, (except for himself of course)."
wow that is unintelligent. So Obama is planning for Americans to live in huts on a dollar a day. So he is not going to attempt to be reelected by the people of this nation, if in fact he does become president?
I feel no more attachment to giving to my brothers than i do to other humans and causes. Is something wrong with that?
Why does it matter how much money you make? That is the excuse of people to not help others...Oh, i only make this much...
Bullshit. You are not any more entitled to that food on you plate than anyone else. All this self righteous talk about how he's his BROTHER...
I've got news for you, we are all brothers and sisters. I have no mental attachment that causes me to want to give to my brother more than the guy on the corner dying from XYZ.
I'd bet Obama has given as much or more to Charity than all of you combined. Keep bashing, it will give you something to do for the next 8 years instead of doing something that might cause some good for THIS country. This world. One is not more important than the other. God Bless ALL Humans!!
Wow, this got way too intense! Ill concede this one daihashi. I think we just put different values on family!
Again, this half-brother of Obama's has done at least two paid interviews since they found out where he was living, so I doubt he's hurting financially. Not to mention, Barack is extremely popular in Kenya, so his half brother is probably treated very well now by other Kenyans. The dollar-a-day figure was undoubtedly from before people knew who he was, and I guarantee it isn't the case anymore.
Ha ha! It never ceases to amaze me, the kind of irrelevant partisan crap people dredge up and try to position as an "issue."
Barack Obama's father abandoned him and his mother when Barack was 2 years old. The man went on to father half-siblings by various women around the world. About 20 years after abandoning Barack and his mother, he fathered this particular half brother in Kenya. When they met, this brother said it was like meeting a total stranger. The reason for that is that he IS a total stranger --- a grown man in a foreign country.
What does Barack owe a man who is a total stranger whose only connection is that he was fathered by the same man who abandoned Barack and his mother 45 years ago? Nothing. His choice to help or not help this stranger is his own and between those two. Who knows if this person asked for or even wanted anything from Barack? Who knows whether Barack offered anything and whether it was accepted or refused? Who knows what kinds of cultural factors might be involved with giving and receiving charity in Kenya? Who knows what kind of person this man is or whether any one of us would want to help him under similar circumstances after we met him? We don't know, so who are we to judge?
People painting this as Obama "refusing" to help his "brother" are presuming to know more about their relationship than they really know. It's basic irrelevant partisan bullshit. Move on to a real issue.
I am going to combine the two most irrelevant things I have heard this week regarding this election: Maybe McCain should give Barack Obama's long-lost half-brother one of his spare houses --- he doesn't even know how many he has so he probably won't even miss it.
Honestly people! Is there anything of importance we can talk about?

McCain is a liberal in disguise, the game is rigged.

Hell, this guy is so full of shit! That wasn't Obama in the limo, that was me! This guy was so wasted, he can't even remember whose dick he sucked! But I tell you what, this guy can really suck dicks! He's one hell of a cocksucker!Quote:

Yeah, on second thought, I might be mistaken. Maybe this guy didn't suck my dick. But he sure does look like a cocksucker to me. And somehow I don't think he is really Obama's type.Quote:

Maybe this is why Obama doesn't send him any money, "Sorry bro. You ride around in limos, getting your dick sucked and using substances not discussed on cann.com for free, so I don't think you need any money from me."
