Obama helps out his own...

OR NOT!!!

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."

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?

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.

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.

have to say, send the guy 100 bucks a year and he would be 100 times better off, maybe he could buy a new pan or something, good grief, my brother is my brother, family comes first, after Jesus, dt

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.

Well, if they are living off of government welfare programs, you're both supporting your sisters and so are the rest of us. Except none of us have a choice about it. I'd rather keep more of my own hard-earned income and use it to support programs that I believe in.

That's exactly the point. Obama is all for the give away programs yet he doesn't do any giving away on his own. All of us know people we would not support yet the democrate answer is support them with tax dollars, the very same people they won't lift a finger to help.
