Obama's Half Brother in Kenya

STORY:

Last night U.S. senator Barack Obama took his place in the history books as the first black presidential nominee of a major political party.

Obama opponents have accused the Illinois senator of neglect. A Texas Republican advert, poses questions to his supporters, "If Barack Obama cares so much about your family, why doesn't he take care of his family first?"

This is after an Italian magazine "Vanity Fair" reported that Obama has a half brother George Hussein Obama living in a slum on the outskirts of Nairobi on "less than a dollar a month."

George who is the youngest of Obama's six half brothers told the local Daily Nation newspaper that he did not live on less than a dollar a month and that "life is good." He's weary of speaking to swarms of journalists who have visited him at his home saying he fears skewed interpretations of his interviews may jeopardize his brother's presidential campaign.

Malik Obama, who is seen as the family's spokesman in Kenya said the attention was unnecessary.

Obama's Kenyan family is keeping a close eye on the campaign and hope their brother will make it to be the first black American president.

When did you meet Obama's grandmother so that she may have told you that? Do you even speak Luo or Swahili for she doesn't even speak English...

When two cultures clash and one wins... the winners make the rules, you live in the society that won, dont pity them they are making it work trying to hold on to what ever they can of their culture. Most of them were cutures of warriors anyway and would disregard your pity. You have a conscience for some things and not others. how many tears have you shed for the Millions of Muslims who died in Christian Holy wars. Christians dominate the US because the Crusades were successful.

Oquirke-just because I decide to take your property by force makes me right ? I don't think so, and any way I have a conscience being a Christian, yes I know everyone is not, and I don't gamble anyway.

The winners of wars do have the right to tell people where to go. thats kinda how it works, history says so. Make no mistake I dont think that what American government did to the natives was good. But look at it this way. We wouldnt be able to gamble in California if they hadnt.
