Hmmm: Obama's Half Brother

I wonder how the right-wing slime machine will use this...
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.

...He told the magazine: "I live like a recluse, no-one knows I exist."

Embarrassed by his penury, he said that he does not does not mention his famous half-brother in conversation.

"If anyone says something about my surname, I say we are not related. I am ashamed," he said.

For the full article click here. BTW George is one of seven half-siblings by Obama's father.

Update: I guess we have our answer. From the Texas GOP slime machine...and it took 5 days....slackers!



Up Update: Obama has a total of 8 half-siblings, one half-sister (by his mother) has a PhD in education, his half-brother obtained his undergraduate degree from Brown University, a masters in physics from Stanford and an MBA from Emory and now lives in Shenzen, China and owns a corporate communications and website design firm that helps Chinese firms seeking customers in English-speaking markets, another half-brother runs an auto parts store in Nairobi, a third half-brother runs an electrical store in his hometown in Kenya, and a half-sister lives in London.

I guess these half-siblings don't quite fit into the GOP slime machine's story line.
