Obama's chip off the old block from his Father - Meet the hopeless drunk from a Nairobi shanty town who is the U.S. President's BROTHER | Mail Online
Go see "2016"! Dinesh D'Souza interviews George Hussein Obama in Kenya. George Obama claims he doesn't want his brother's direct help, he believes in helping himself rather than getting help from his brother (he wouldn't get it anyway as Obama wants his brother hidden away), but he feels Obama is changing his world indirectly by changing America. But George believes his brother is following in his fathers belief that he is correcting and getting payback for the wrongs of the colonial 'white' world and leveling it all to the same (dismal*) level. George Obama, oddly enough, understands self reliance, where his brother does not. George Obama made an interesting comparison between Kenya and South Korea. When Kenya became independent, it was ahead of South Korea economically, yet South Korea chose Capitalism and progressed in freedom and economics, but Kenya became socialist and has gone backwards in both freedom and economically sine it "freed" itself from colonialism. *my word m/r Obama's slumdog brother: Meet the hopeless drunk from a Nairobi shanty town who is the U.S. President's BROTHER | Mail Online
As a tall, strangely familiar figure leaves his one-room shack in a notorious African slum this week, a few people jokingly call out to him: ‘Mister President! Mister President!’
Heading for breakfast through his junk-strewn yard, stepping over streams of sewage, the appearance of this slim, angular man prompts giggles and pointing from children in rags playing in the muck.
The man’s name is George Hussein Obama and his half-brother is Barack Hussein Obama, Kenya’s most famous son, the first black President of the U.S. and the most powerful man in the world.
The two men may share the same father, but while Barack Obama was born in Hawaii to his father’s American second wife, George — born in Kenya — was the product of Obama Senior’s fourth marriage.
Today, while Barack entertains at the White House, flies aboard Air Force One and is a friend of film stars and royalty, George, 30, is to be found slumped in his corrugated iron shack which even fellow slum-dwellers regard as a hovel.
