Default BHO's Brother

Thought this was interesting--family members are usually brought into the pollitcal arena, especially when it's a presidential race.

Default RE: BHO's Brother

here are the rest of them:

Quote:
Obama's Brothers: Bernard, Abongo and Mark Ndesandjo The band of brothers of the Obama clan are getting attention as famous brother Barack gains international fame. The UK Sun introduces Bernard Obama, a 37 year old Muslim car parts dealer from Nairobi, Kenya who was visiting his mum in the Bricknell council section of Britain.


There is also Abongo Roy Obama, Barack's older brother, who is a Luo activist, ardently militant Muslim and supporter of Raila Odinga during the recent Kenya conflict.


Most recently, Mark Ndesandjo, his brother who operates the online Worldnexus site that exports Chinese goods to the United States has been introduced by the Time of London.
Take a look at Abongo's history...

Quote:
In the bloody conflict there, which already has claimed some 700 lives, Obama appears to have sided with opposition leader Raila Odinga, head of the same Luo tribe to which Obama's late Muslim father belonged.

Obama's older brother still lives there. Abongo "Roy" Obama is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must "liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture." He urges his younger brother to embrace his African heritage.

Beyond family politics, these ties have potential foreign policy, even national security, implications.

Odinga is a Marxist who reportedly has made a pact with a hard-line Islamic group in Kenya to establish Shariah courts throughout the country. He has also vowed to ban booze and pork and impose Muslim dress codes on women -- moves favored by Obama's brother.

With al-Qaida strengthening its beachheads in Africa -- from Algeria to Sudan to Somalia -- the last thing the West needs is for pro-Western Kenya to fall into the hands of Islamic extremists.

Yet Obama interrupted his New Hampshire campaigning to speak by phone with Odinga, who claims to be his cousin. He did not speak with Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki.
Kinda makes you long for the good old days.... and a nice cold Billy Beer.

LOL! I think the American public know, or are beginning to learn that Obama is a huge risk on a number of levels. Then again, almost nothing surprises me anymore in this country, so I am concerned about the election.

Thanks IPSC--I knew there was more, but didn't have time to look it up.

What's sad is the parody "brother" is living like a king compared to the actual brother (half) in Kenya (George Hussein Onyango Obama). How in the world someone lives on less than $12 a year is beyond me.

Don't laugh....this is OUR future if BHO becomes the president....
WE"D be living on $12/year after taxes, and ol' George would be livin' large,
to paraphrase: "with his New York brim,
and his gold-tooth display,
nobody give him trouble
bause they know he got it made..."
