Obama’s Bro Livin’ in Poverty


George Hussein Onyango Obama

UK’s Telegraph reports that Barack Obama’s brother is living in Poverty…

From the article:

Mr Obama, 26, the youngest of the presidential candidate’s half-brothers, spoke for the first time about his life, which could not be more different than that of the Democratic contender.

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

and

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.

and

For ten years George Obama lived rough. However he now hopes to try to sort his life out by starting a course at a local technical college.

He has only met his famous older brother twice - once when he was just five and the last time in 2006 when Senator Obama was on a tour of East Africa and visited Nairobi.

The Illinois senator mentions his brother in his autobiography, describing him in just one passing paragraph as a “beautiful boy with a rounded head”.

Of their second meeting, George Obama said: “It was very brief, we spoke for just a few minutes. It was like meeting a complete stranger.”

and

“Huruma is a tough place, last January during the elections there was rioting and six people were hacked to death. The police don’t even arrest you they just shoot you.

“I have seen two of my friends killed. I have scars from defending myself with my fists. I am good with my fists.”

Commentary:
It’s incredibly amazing and hypocritical of some in the media that went after Mitt Romney’s Grandfather’s polygamy when we have a presumptive nominee of a major party who’s father was a polygamist and has multitudes of children living in poverty in Africa. Why isn’t Barack taking care of his own destitute family members???

    Shocking and disappointing. Although, we now know that’s what we can expect from a man like Barack Obama.

    What a total hypocrite; I am embarassed for him, because to live day-to-day, knowing you have family impoverished and knowing you have plenty of resources to help them and then you still DON’T is disgraceful and shameful for sure.

    I have no idea why anyone listens to a word Barack Obama says. Seriously. Every time he opens his mouth I am truly more and more perplexed. There is just nothing there but a mumbling puppet. Why is this happening?! Scary.
