Oh yeah. This needs to get out nationwide.

We need an Adopt an Obama program. Maybe fly the poor guy over and have him speak at the RNC next week.

It's Bush's fault!

Obama's class warfare had to fail for many reasons.

Notoriety=Money for George O?

Let’s all pitch in and help George realize his dreams of attending college and live up to the ideals of his brother when Senator Obama quoted from the Bible, saying “Whatever you do unto the least of these my brethren you do unto me.”

Pics of Barack's and George's homes.

What a stunner.

A tax and spend YOUR DOLLARS liberal unwilling to help someone else with HIS OWN MONEY?

Gee whiz...I'm stunned.

/sarc

Obama says to god.."am I my brothers keeper?"

/Abel got off easy.. george dies a little each day

If it's on Breitbart, people are reading.

This is potentially a potent campaign weapon, but the McCain team needs to tread very carefully.

I saw that Foxnews is going to do an in-dept expose of the candidates. Obama will not come out of this looking good, I suspect.

If O is POTUS will GHOO get Secret Service protection?

Obama is no more middle-class than the Rothschilds are. His grandmother (who rasied him) was a bank vice-president. He went to elite prep school, and then to an Ivy League college and law school. He married another Ivy League lawyer, and together they are worth millions. Probably over the $5 million that John McCain jokingly through out there as being "rich".

And he wants to fight a class-warfare campaign?

Gawd, I hope the McCain campaign has the cajones to make something of this. Poor Barack, he doesn't even have the conscience to take care of his half-sibling. I guess he doesn't want to remind the world of his "roots".

/pardon me while I puke.

re: #10 tradewind

This is potentially a potent campaign weapon, but the McCain team needs to tread very carefully.

Why? McCain never left any of his brothers behind.

It's obvious that Obama is one of those selfish rich folks he slams in his class warfare campaign. None of his newfound million$ made its way to help his brother. Disgusting.

I wouldn't give George O a dollar of mine. Let Barry give him a dollar. ;)

Just imagine this poor (literal) bastard(figurative) if BHO wins in November--having to explain to his fellow shanty dwellers why has suddenly has a Secret Service detail. Awkward.

It would also be fair game now to point out that preaching "social justice" pays better than being a United States senator. The Trinity United Church of Christ is building a mansion for the Rev. Jeremiah Wright that includes an elevator, a butler's pantry, a bar, a rubberized exercise room - and the 10,000-square-foot estate backs up to the Odyssey Country Club. (Memo to wealthy Caucasian Republican members of the golf club: "Fore!")

Are we sure that rubberized room is for exercise?

Rush talked a bit about this on Friday. I emailed his people to suggest he start a "Get George out of that bathroomless hut" fund. It would be a hoot and George could end up being worth more than Barack is if all Rush's listeners donated a couple of bucks.

For less than a dollar a day, you too can sponsor an Obama...

George seems like such a nice man, too, very reserved and humble. Not like his egomaniacal relative.

Irony is that one of those homes that McCain "didn't know he owned" was a condo that Cindy owns which houses her indigent aunt.

I wonder if Obama has title to George's shack.

barack should write another book titled, "i am not my brothers keeper"

So, Mr. Obama Sr. names his African son "George" and his American son "Barack Hussein".

The guy had a sense of humor.

Perhaps John McCain should write George Hussein Onyango Obama a personal check for a couple thousand bucks to help him out.

But think how low his carbon footprint must be.

If Obama gets elected, he'll bring us all the benefit of that low carbon footprint.

I'm sure his half-brother doesn't 'eat all he wants'. He's the poster child for the DNC!

but seriously... my lunch money today could support the guy for 6 months.

re: #49 jcm

As perfectly set up as it is, I'll still be surprised if McCain can successfully use this against Obama. Keeping my fingers crossed.

In 2002, the year before Obama launched his campaign for U.S. Senate, the Obamas reported income of $259,394, ranking them in the top 2 percent of U.S. households, according to Census Bureau statistics. That year the Obamas claimed $1,050 in deductions for gifts to charity, or 0.4 percent of their income. The average U.S. household totaled $1,872 in gifts to charity in 2002, according to the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University.

Michelle O whined about how hard it was to get by on $250k. Perhaps it is when you are used to living high. I gross about $50k per year and give about $3k to charitible organizations, and that didn't count the week taken off work last year for a humanitarian aid project in the slums of Lima Peru last year.

The Obamessiah needs to put his money where his mouth is.

re: #73 phoenixgirl

This is a great set up for a SNL parody on the "For thirty cents a day, you can feed ..." commercials.

There really isn't too much irony in all of this.

Conservatives believe in charitable acts by individuals as part of a community.

Liberals want an elite to consolidate all resources and decide how to distribute them.

So a Conservative household will act to help a family member while a liberal one will ask "where is the government?" Like Katrina. There are thousands of little Katrina's every day, with Liberals demanding government take care of the situation and Conservatives just getting on with helping out as best they can.

These are two entirely different world views.

Think how little it would cost to help poor George. For the price of a head of arugula each month, Barack could quintuple his annual income.

John McCain Discloses Data on His Charity Giving

In 2007, the Arizona senator reported $405,409 in total income and contributed $105,467, or 26 percent of his total income, to charity.

In 2006, Mr. McCain said he had $358,414 in total income and donated $64,695, or 18 percent of his total income, to charity.

Obama Tax Returns: Low On Story Lines And Charity Donations

Up until recent years when their income increased sharply from book revenues and a Senate salary, Obama's family donated a relatively minor amount of its earnings to charity. From 2000 through 2004, the senator and his wife never gave more than $3,500 a year in charitable donations -- about 1 percent of their annual earnings. In 2005, however, that total jumped to $77,315 (4.7 percent of annual earnings), and to $60,307 in 2006 (6.1 percent).

Some conservative group should set up a fund so that we can all help out poor Geogre Obama.

I bet we could raise thousands in one day alone.

The GOP should fly George in so he can speak at the convention in Minneapolis.

Los Angeles blogger Juliette Ochieng has a lot in common with the man who might be the next president, Barack Obama. A lot.

Both were born to Kenyan fathers of the same tribe (the Luo) from the same province (Nyanza), and both of their fathers came as boys to America aboard the same airplane. Growing up, neither Ochieng nor Obama knew their fathers, who both abandoned their American mothers and left their American-born children behind. Both of their fathers returned to Africa in the early 1960s and became friends, bonding at Kenyan bars over their favorite drink — Scotch. Both Ochieng's and Obama's mothers contracted ovarian cancer. (Hers survived it; his did not). Both Ochieng and Obama were born in the U.S. in August 1961 — only weeks apart.

But for someone with parallel beginnings, Juliette Akinyi Ochieng is quite different: Evangelical Christian. Working class. Military veteran. Pro-life. Conservative Republican.

Ochieng went to Los Angeles City College, not Harvard. Although she was born in Chicago — Obama's political birthplace — she lives in South-Central Los Angeles, where she grew up. And since 2003, she has written a blog, luoamerican.com/baldilocks, better known as Baldilocks, a reference to her fashionably close-shaven head. Her soft speech belies her harsh yet thoughtful commentaries on black politics and national security from a conservative perspective.

SNIP

In August 2006, Senator Obama toured Kenya, his first trip to his father's nation. Thousands of Kenyans welcomed him, international media followed wherever he went, and glowing stories flowed forth.

One spot he visited was the recently renamed Senator Obama Kogelo Secondary School in Nyang'oma-Kogelo, a village in equatorial western Kenya where Obama's roots go deep: His father, Barack Sr., was born there. His 86-year-old step-grandmother, Sarah, still lives there in a brick shanty with a tin roof and no running water.

Almost exactly two years ago, Barack Obama visited the school built upon land that, decades ago, Obama's grandfather donated. In anticipation of Obama's visit, the school changed its name to honor the village's most famous progeny, Barack Jr.

SNIP

"Hopefully, I can provide some assistance in the future to this school and all that it can be," Obama said. Looking directly at the school's principal, Yuanita Obiero, and her teachers, he added, "I know you are working very hard and struggling to bring up this school, but I have said I will assist the school, and I will do so."

In the two years since, Obama has experienced a meteoric political rise, becoming the Democratic flag-bearer, authoring a best-seller and last year, with his wife, Michelle, earning $4.2 million. He bought a luxury home. Last year, he gave $240,000 to charities.

But apparently not to the Senator Obama Kogelo School. "Senator Obama has not honored the promises he gave me when we met in 2006 and in his earlier letter to the school," Principal Obiero has told the London-based, conservative tabloid EveningStandard. "He has not given us even one shilling. But we still have hope."
SNIP

It was a stunning, eye-opening omission on FOX's part.

Good question. I was watching Independence Day (yet again) last night and wondered if we were in a similar position (which I think we are but that's another discussion) would Barry want to talk to the aliens? They want to kill us and Barry wants to have tea with them. Ultimately the President's job is to protect our lives and insure the continuation of this country. Does anyone in their right mind Barry has the fortitude or mindset to do that? He might manage to be president if nothing whatsoever happened during his term but he's a moral and ethical weakling. He does not have the Right Stuff to lead when we're at war.

I've been home and have seen what I can only call "insanity" going on. All the branches of government are seemingly not working together-but in some instances against each other. I know the city wants to get its tax base back and get people living there once again, but to issue buildling permits to people to rebuild in Lakeview along the 17th Street Canal--for slab on grade houses -- is nuts. For the Army Corps of Engineers to tell those same people who have rebuilt--and sunk every penny they had into their new home--that "oops" we need another 30' of set back from the canal levee and we have to knock your new house down to do it (oh, and here's ten cents on the dollar for it) is insane.

About the only smart thing that's been considered is closing the MRGO so you won't have another 20' wall of water coming into the lakes and canal. Other than that, it seems to be business as usual in my hometown.

I'm not, but there is someone who could really use their help.

However, I will NOT donate to Habitat for Humanity. Carter could bet lots of money from his rich Arab friends, and because of Carter and the way he convinced the world to accept Arafat, there are victims of terrorism in Israel who need my donations more.

Are we sure for a fact that he doesn't send ANY money to these people? Not even the African Grandma?

I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around this that he doesn't help them. We have a similar situation with my husbands family in Sri Lanka. The going rate for working is about 2 dollars a day. But to put it in perspective, an Orange Fanta soda there is 35 cents. It's more than George says he lives on but still, this is not a lot of money. We send $500 a month like clockwork and this keeps 13 family members heads above water, some of them my husband has never met. He's been sending this for 30 years and apparently it will never end. Some of them don't even work because this is sufficient to get by which is frustrating, but you just do it because their life is so limited without it (and even with it) compared to ours.

I just cannot believe he doesn't help them! It doesn't even require that much money even if you're not a millionaire. If true, what an asshole.

A fundraiser for a local charitable group that raises money to help the needy goes to a well-to-do local resident and asks for a contribution.

Resident: Let me tell you something. My brother has a low-paying job and his wife is an invalid and needs expensive care and he can barely fee the five kids.

Fundraiser: Well, of course I understand that you have to help your own family first.

Resident: Who said I help them? What I am telling you is that if I don't help my own brother I am sure not going to help strangers.

re: #138 Kosh's Shadow

I respect your opinions, but I have to tell you that I've seen the good it does. My bother (who's more to the right than I am) gives of his time and has seen the families who otherwise would have no way to afford any form of housing.

I said days ago, I expect to see him pop up at the convention. Hey zombie, keep your eyes peeled!

Michelle, tonight: Announces George is moving in with them and is attending UofC!

Curious about George

Maybe George can live in one of McCain's 7 or 10 houses ...

What is ethically or morally wrong with having wealth?

Nothing.

What is ethically or morally wrong with allowing your own sibling to go hungry, cold, lonely, or without care?

Lots.

If Obama handed his half-brother twenty bucks, he'd double his income. Charity begins at home, and Obama flunks the test..

re: #12 Ojoe

If O is POTUS will GHOO get Secret Service protection?

That's a serious question and I wondered if he would get protection NOW because he could be snatched up and held for some sort of ransom.

If he were to win, they'd HAVE to protect the whole family over there, I would assume.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Maybe O's bro isn't poor. Maybe he chooses to live in that run down hut. Ever think of that?

If he lives on the edge of the jungle he'd better watch out for the mngwa.

The lion sleeps at night but the mngwa hunts at night.

On the bright side at least George isn't living in the USA making over 250k a year so as to be hosed by big brother's dopey payroll tax idea.
As if hedgies and others aren't going to find ways to avoid paying the tax.

My guess is that the real boss, Michelle, decided that she and hubby were not going to subsidize dysfunctional dad's other kids at the expense of the Obama home stake, especially since Tony Rezko was otherwise engaged, i.e. criminal matter, and couldn't wire the younger Obama some bucks.

Don't feel bad for George however. My sense is that if Barry O is elected George will get a room in the next MTV reality house.

re: #139 Claire

I read the original article. Photo of George and hut --sure could have been staged but seemed unlikely. Put into context with the text, he was NOT eager and doesn't even tell the locals that the US presidential candidate is his half brother. So he was not the one that came forward.

It seemed clear that the reporter had sought him out.

re: #158 MJBrutus

Yeah, sure. Even Clinton helped out his drug addled brother Roger. No excuse for someone this close to being POTUS having a brother living in such abject poverty.NONE.I don't have anywhere near the resources of the Obama and manage to help my disabled brother every month.

Oh this is a bit harsh. Do you really think Obama is financially responsible for every half sibling his parents produce that he hardly even knows? I don't. It would be a bit different if George lived in the same town and they grew up together. But they didn't.

I think it goes to the psychology of Barry, frankly. He seems to give his daddy a lot more honor than the guy seems to deserve, so the sense is he should be equally supportive of his extended family. I do believe Obama deserves credit for what he is doing with his daughters, he seems to be a good family man.

I think he has several half siblings. His father had a number of wives and children. maybe someone should ask Obama how many half siblings does he actually have!

If McCain was supposed to know how many houses his wife owned, isn't it fair game to ask Obama how many children his father --fathered and how well he provided for them. His father was, after all, not poor. He was educated and a Finance Minister.

The only one he is featuring with a speaking slot at the convention is his Indonesian half sister.

re: #164 offendi

Those are my feelings. Obama is not responsible for supporting all those half siblings his father produced --and there are several. However, Obama is the one that wrote "his story" about his father and emphasized his heritage and did make a trip to Africa to meet this family he never knew.

He is the one who "exploited" his African family --that he had no contact with and took a trip there for some photo ops but according to "George" he has never seen or heard from him since.

I don't think he has a responsibility to support them but HE USED them when he needed photos and needed to shore up his African American image considering he was raised by his white grandparents.

Many of these liberal "one-worlders" believe in the philosophy of distributive justice. And, not just within the friendly confines of one's own borders but world-wide distributive justice. With hellholes like Zimbabwe and Venezuela, my dollars ain't going to go far enough to leave me enough to live the life I've worked several decades to afford AND provide the same for some lazy miscreant that refuses to work or for the unfortunates such as GO born into extremely difficult circumstances. While I sympathize for those such as GO, I donate a full 2% of my salary equally split between human and animal charities that take care of problems locally. I know exactly how the money is used for the animal charity and hope for the best with the human.

Somehow GO will be blamed on Bush or the Republicans and the press will force feed this rational to the world.

In the meantime, my fist is firmly grasping the six-speed, burning as much fuel as I can while I can.

re: #165 Nancy

In fact one of those step-brothers is a head-chopper whose Islamic terrorist boss tried to steal an election.

re: #99 Lively

He sure is related to Barry.

George says, "I think Obama will be president because he wants to be. I think in life, what you want is what you are supposed to get."

Wow.

I call dibs on King of the Universe!

Am I King yet?

re: #121 jemima

"They want to kill us and Barry wants to have tea with them. Ultimately the President's job is to protect our lives and insure the continuation of this country. Does anyone in their right mind Barry has the fortitude or mindset to do that?"

The problem is, a guy like bho will see things escalate after talking and talking... and pleading and begging, then it will get so bad his options will be narrowed down to nukes or surrender.

SENATOR #2

Mr. Corleone would you kindly identify for the committee the gentleman sitting to your left.

TOM

I can answer that. His name is Vincenzo PENTANGELI.

SENATOR #2

Is he related to the witness?

TOM

I believe he is in fact his brother.

QUESTADT

Will he come forward and be sworn sir?

TOM

SENATOR this man does not understand English. He came at his own expense to aid his brother in his time of trouble. He's not under subpoena -- and his reputation in his own country is impeccable.

QUESTADT

Are you saying that he knows nothing about these matters.

TOM

To my knowledge nothing.

CHAIRMAN

I'm gonna find out what the hell happened here! Alright this committee is now adjourned. The witness is now excused.

TOM

SENATOR! SENATOR! This committee owes an apology, this committee owes an apology -- an apology SENATOR!

Although publicity about Barack’s brother George living in poverty makes a very good point and is useful politically, it really should not surprise anybody if Barack was found to have TWENTY brothers living in poverty, crime, prison, or even as slaves somewhere.

Given the African-Muslim practices regarding “marriage” and procreation outside of marriage, the entire Western traditional concept of “family” is open to new interpretation in our “diverse” societies.

A Muslim man can have four wives at any one time. And he can recycle those wives (divorce, marry another, divorce, marry another, divorce, marry another, etc., etc.) as long as his money and stamina hold out.

Furthermore, he can have “temporary wives” for a day or a month or an hour, as needed.

And he can impregnate “infidel” women without any concern about “marriage” at all. That is one of the ways to spread Islam.

Not that it is important, but Barack Obama’s parents could not have been legally married because Barack’s father had a legal wife back in Africa when he was involved with Barack’s white American mother in Hawaii. Bigamous marriages may have been legal in his home country, but they were not in Hawaii. Even if he attempted to legally marry her (did he?), it would have been invalid since he already had a living, undivorced wife (with whom he had children both before and after Barack’s birth).

How many women did Barack Obama’s father impregnate? Who knows? How many half-siblings does Barack have around the world? Does he know?

There is currently an article in the UK Telegraph entitled

Obama won’t lose for being black but for not being American enough
[Link: www.telegraph.co.uk...]

And although the author does not mention this aspect – what “family” means to Muslims – this is definitely part of it.

The surprise is not that Barack Obama does not take care of his brother. The NON-surprise is that in Muslim families, who is “family,” who is a “brother” is very different from Western Judeo-Christian law and traditions.

SENATOR! SENATOR! This committee owes an apology, this committee owes an apology -- an apology SENATOR!

Obama has some explaining to do and we'll see if McCain and the RNC have the guts to lay it out in a way that it doesn't flash back on them.

As for Biden --- who just like Hillary VOTED for the war and supported the Surge. Obama has some explaining to do to his KOS supporters and the neanderthals that are protesting in Denver. Middle of the Road American voters will see thru this shallow sweet talker.

George seems like a friendly, sensible, well spoken, humble person trying to make his way in very difficult circumstances.

I don't know if BHO owes anything to his half-brother but he certainly should have helped finance the school that he pledged to support.

i have yet to see anything abt. obama that shows he has any real compassion for his fellow man. and he doesn't seem to understand family.
(his possible out of wed lock granddaughter, he describes as a punishment)
he speaks the sinister words of a communist who ultimately wants to use people.
he has the tendencies of a psychopath.
his strident need to stop the 'born alive infant protection act' is just another example of his lack of humanity.

john mccain is such a fine and decent man compared to b.o.
