Obama's half-brother surfaces in Nairobi: Report
 

London's Daily Telegraph weighs in this morning with a report that Vanity Fair's Italian edition has apparently tracked down Barack Obama's half-brother living in penury in the slums outside Nairobi.

 According to the Tely, Vanity Fair found 26-year-old George Hussein Onyango Obama in a hut decorated with a few soccer posters and a front-page newspaper article about his famous brother. The two men share the same father, also named Barack Hussein Obama.

Here's a bit from the Telegraph piece:

"No-one knows who I am," he told the magazine, before claiming: "I live here on less than a dollar a month."

He told the magazine: "I live like a recluse, no-one knows I exist."

Embarrassed by his penury, he said that he does not does not mention his famous half-brother in conversation.

"If anyone says something about my surname, I say we are not related. I am ashamed," he said.

Is this what we can expect from our future presidential candidate? If he will not help his half brother, what makes you think he will help the American citizenry strangers...you and me?

I am sure that the Magic Negro would be glad to help out his ½ brother; just not with his own money.  That is what the tax code is for my friend.

Oh thats right, silly me I forgot. His brother won't actually help him but he will help him with MY money...DUH.

Despite his sad situation, the half brother has dignity. He is more of a credit than either Billy Carter, Neil Bush or Roger Clinton.
