What millionaire U.S. Senator candidate for President is heartless in ignoring the poor? Of course, based upon the mainstream liberal media, one would expect to read an inflammatory story about Senator John McCain. Nope! Sorry, the truth is that this story is about Senator Barrack Obama!
26-year-old George Hussein Onyango Obama, Barrack's half-brother, was recently discovered living in a shack in Nairobi, Kenya, living on a reported annual income of $12.00.

In the book
Dreams from My Father, Obama identified eight half-brothers and sisters from four other marriages or relationships of his parents. George was the youngest, the only child of Obama's father and a woman not named in the book.
Based on the recent article, it appears George Obama has more pressing concerns than his half-brother's presidential bid. George Obama showed the reporter the inside of his tiny shack, which contains -- among other things -- two Italian soccer posters, an old beach-scene calendar and the front page of a local newspaper with a photograph of Barack Obama on it. George Obama says he leads a hard life in a community rife with violence. He talks of people being hacked to death with machetes. He says the police don't bother to arrest people -- they just shoot them instead.
Barack Obama wrote of a brief meeting with George during a trip to Kenya in the late 1980s. George Obama says he remembers little of the meeting. George Obama says he again saw his famous half-brother two years ago, when Obama traveled to Africa with his wife and daughters. "It was a short meeting," George Obama recalled. "We spoke to each other. It was odd -- like meeting a stranger." Barack Obama's campaign had no comment on the piece.
If charity starts at home, why is the Senator's half-brother not living in the Obama's
$1.6 million mansion in Chicago's Kenwood neighborhood? Hope? Change? For who? If Senator Obama is not taking care of his own family, does this show the leadership, the judgement, and the character to care for all Americans? What would Reverend Wright have to say? WWJD?
