Barack Obama's half brother living in poverty, in Africa found.

I like Obama but this doesn't look good:

http://www.telegraph.co.u...Kenya.html

Why won't Barack help his brother? At least get him out of poverty.

The right could use this.

Why's that "bad"?

His dad runs off and knocks someone else up, and what they're supposed to be close? He's supposed to "take care of him"?

I wouldn't!!!! Fuck him!

in terms of poverty, and standard of living, he is among the least of Obama's brethren.

Obama met him and describes him in his book as "a beautiful boy with a round head."

And so he owes him something because of that?

how many of us have this exact situation? dad leaves and has kids with someone else and you never or rarely ever see them? while it wouldn't warm my heart to know that they were struggling it is not my obligation to take care of them.

The right would let him rot just as soon as step up off their dollars. Let's not even lie about it.

If the man is his brother, then shouldn't their father have taken care of him?
I guess Barak is supposed to help everyone who can prove a connection.
Who knows what their relationship is or was if there ever was a relationship?
Too much isn't know to say how this could or even if it should reflect on Obama.


Just read the article . . .
Why is this Obama's burden?
Why would the right have something they could use?
If it were Obama's son, there'd be an issue.
But step siblings he never grew up with? nah

yes, we do have an obligation to each other. you can't talk about eliminating poverty on a national scale when your own kin lives in poverty. so if this story is correct and complete, i will indeed think less of Obama. (not that he cares - i can't even vote. lol )

should there be any consideration about removing him from his culture and way of life? it certainly would be odd to build him a mansion while the rest of the village sleeps on the dirt lol

do you mean that they in their personal lives are socially aloof, or is it their social policy which you are describing as such?

i'm don't think any criticism or problem with this that some may find is based on or aimed at domestic or foreign policy.

i'm obviously not suggesting that. but poverty is not a type of "culture" or "way of life".

I agree completely. But wouldn't he have to rescue everybody else in the family? Imagine just plucking the brother out of poverty and leaving everyone else behind. Does he have the resources to do that? Honestly?

so, since he can't help every last person, he shouldn't help anybody?

again, i'm skeptical about the article and the man's claims. but if it turns out to be true, i'll be very disappointed in Obama (just like McCain's 7 houses - or thereabouts - while Cindy's half-sister scrapes by and is not even acknowledged to exist. it's all despicable.)

I am not saying since he can't help all then help none. That is not my phillosophy. I do what I can when I can. OK, so he rescues his brother and leave the grandmother and all other relatives not related to him in the dust? If he's obligated to his brother why not to everyone else? Seriously?

OK, how wealthy is Obama really? Didn't he just finish paying his student loans lol

I know that's right.

Plus, the half-brother is grown, he has to man-up. Obama can't take care of him,uncle, aunt, friend of the uncle,..... the half-brother has to man-up

i know you do, that's why i'm surprised to hear you say this.

i'm not here to draw some arbitrary line between second cousin and step-aunt twice removed. and for all we know, Obama tried to help his brother, and for some reason, it didn't work out. there are a lot of unknowns here, but if the story proves to be true as written, i have no qualms calling a democrat out on it the same way i would a conservative.

I'm commenting on right-wing criticism of Obama's supposed personal conduct here in the wake of their own social policy. Seems to me he'd do them proud here.

I am realistic. That is why you hear me say this. I can't help everyone I want to help and I do what I can but I feel we should also take into account his "obligation" to the rest of his brother's family. I have a sister that I have never seen in my entire life. She is older than me. I have never known what it is like to have an older sibling. If it came clear to me that she was in crisis, I would try to help her. If she was living with her family that I'm not related would it make sense for me to remove her and only her? I mean how far am I obligated? If to her, why not her family?

I'd like to hear the full details before lobbing condenmation. I think it's probably more complex than any of us know.

I stay Woke.

...while I agree that we have an obligation to each other, I don't necessarily think that we are obligated to our kin first & foremost...I certainly have family members that would be well down on my charity list...and I think this is true for alot of families...shrug
