Barack Obama’s Brother “Found” Destitute In Kenya
If Obama met him again just two years ago and he was living in such dire poverty, why did Obama only speak to him in a manner that was “very brief” and only “for just a few minutes”? I want to know if he offered to help him. They have the same father. They’re brothers.
Senator Barack Obama’s long lost brother has been tracked down for the first time living in a shanty town in Kenya, reports claimed.
By Nick Pisa - (Telegraph UK)
The Italian edition of Vanity Fair said that it had found George Hussein Onyango Obama living in a hut in a ramshackle town of Huruma on the outskirts of Nairobi.
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.”
According to Italy’s Vanity Fair his two metre by three metre shack is decorated with football posters of the Italian football giants AC Milan and Inter, as well as a calendar showing exotic beaches of the world.
Vanity Fair also noted that he had a front page newspaper picture of his famous brother - born of the same father as him, Barack Hussein Obama, but to a different mother, named only as Jael.
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.
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.”
George added he was no longer in contact with his mother and said:”I have had to learn to live and take what I need.
“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.”

August 20th, 2008 at 1:39 pmHey, least Hussein coulda done was send the guy a CAIR package stuffed with “Obama `08″ T-shirts …

August 20th, 2008 at 1:46 pmThat’s Oba’s plan for hard working patriotic Americans; if he gets elected all that will be left for us to live on after his taxes will be a dollar a month.
August 20th, 2008 at 2:19 pmWhat really makes this story is Obamas legislation to give 845 billion to the worlds poor and yet when it comes to the poor in his own family he wont lift a finger. Obama makes Scrooge look like a charitable man.
August 20th, 2008 at 2:48 pmi guess his own bro don’t qualify as one of the least of these
August 20th, 2008 at 4:36 pmAm I supposed to believe that Bama’s campaign didnt know where this guy was? This is an example of exactly how freaking stupid he (Bama) and his campaign people are. For a mere 10 beans a month per person (like Bama couldnt afford 70-80 per month in support he could have done damage control on this kinda crap. He’s not even smart enough to anticipate and protect himself, yet he is going to protect us?
August 20th, 2008 at 4:59 pmAm I not my brother’s keeper?
Says a lot for his Christian church-going hypocrisy. Attend the service but don’t let the lessons sink in.
Charity begins with one’s family …. because in the words of Ben Franklin “If we (in this case the family)don’t all hang together, then assuredly we’ll all hang separately”
August 20th, 2008 at 5:11 pmKudos to the Italians and the Brits for doing more investigative work on Obama’s family than our pathetic U.S. media. British reporters recently unearthed more Obama siblings in China and England.
Chrisitian missionary Celeste Davis who’s based in Kenya said she’s very familiar with Obama’s “tribe.” A man named Odinga claims he’s Obama’s cousin, and was jailed in the ’80s for trying to overthrow the Kenyan government.
In December 2007, Odinga ran against incumbent President Kibaki. He lost. Members of his tribe, per Davis, were responsible for triggering violent protests that resulted in 1,500 dead and 600,000 people displaced.
Davis wrote “not one mosque ws burned down, but hundreds of churches were burned down, some with people in them, burned alive.”
According to snopes.com, “a power-sharing deal negotiated by former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan” resulted in a coalition government between Odinga and Kibaki.
