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."

We don't know the full story...perhaps, Obama is practicing tough love with his brother. It is hard to comment without knowing ALL the details, IMO.

So, now it's Obama's job to support his brother? I have a sister in TN who lives off welfare. I'm not supporting her. What's yer point?
If I had a brother living in a hut on a dollar a month even on my income (which obviously is no where near what BHO brings in) I would be ashamed about to go out and talk about programs to help the down and out.
Shows he is all talk, and happy to spend my money to "help" others but won't even help his own family.

HOGWASH! You guys will use anything you can find to discredit Obama. It's getting so old, it isn't funny anymore. For all you know, Obama may not even have contact with his half brother. Y'all are something else. I am getting so sick of this nonsense.

Thanks Rico. you made me remember something.
Hogwash..... that reminds me of an old saying, you can slap lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig!
and you can paint Barak Obama up and make him look presidential but he is still just an ultra liberal community organizer with a strong connection to racist reform theology proponents, slum lords with criminal records and anti-american terrorists who have actually BOMBED the US Pentegon and has recently stated he wished he had done more....
and he wont even help a brother out!
changy change change my foot!

I strongly disagree with you. I think you may be judging a matter before you know all the details.
Furthermore, if he was financially "helping" this guy who is his half brother, there would be those who would be quick to criticize him for that.
If you don't like BHO, just say you don't like BHO.
But to criticize him in this area is not wise at all.
Family?
They have the same father, but are obviously years apart and probably not close in that brotherly way-- especially since they were probably raised on different continents by different guardians. But maybe I'm giving Obama too much credit here.

I am not an Obama supporter, but I have to agree with Rico on this one.
I have a sister who I am not gonna support either.

Point? I'll tell you the point.
This idiot talks about helping others, free health care, wealth redistribution, and the like. Take from the rich and give to the poor. "what you've done to the least of your brothers' or whatever it was he said.
He doesn't mind helping others as long as he is doing it with my hard earned money. He can't even send his own brother 10 dollars a month. What a joke this wimp is.
