Will OBAMA do for you as he has done for his BROTHER?

Obamoron should practice what he preaches. I think this fairly well demonstrate that his words are empty, and that he does not truly believe in the things he says...otherwise he would be helping his brother out. Instead he is planning to cause the American taxpayers to have to fight poverty all over the world while ignoring our needs here at home. Obamoron, like the rest of the socialist liberals is long on talk, but short on meaningful results... other than trying to destroy the very foundations that America was built upon.

Wow! If I had a brother or any family living like that and I was in the position Obama is that he is financially and politically capable of helping I would. This is terrible. A lot of what bothers me is Obama has a lot we don't know about him. He may not like his character being attacked but I can see why it is character is important and I can see why Obama doesn't like them digging around in his past. If I knew how I'd send this guy $5. About all I can afford but it will go a lot further for him. I'd be ashamed to call Barack Brother too. I hope that this article will push Obama to do something about his little brother's struggle.

I guess you don't really like Obama. It's really easy to take things out of context to build a case up against someone you don't like. People do it all the time and certainly politicians are famous for mud slinging rather than really dealing with the issues that truly impact the American people. I think that if I really wanted to I could probably find a number of things I could post about McCain. I don't really like him and don't plan on voting for him, but I think people have already pretty much made up their minds about who they are voting for regardless of the mud slinging and the events and quotes that are taken out of context. Energy is better spent elsewhere.

I say the article is very lean on facts. First of all, this man is his HALF-brother--born of his father (who abandoned Senator Obama at the age of two) and an unknown mother (if all you've got is a first name, that's unknown as far as I'm concerned). How close could the two have ever been to begin with under these circumstances? Their one and only common thread is a man who had no real part in Obama's life to begin with! As an analogy, let's see what John McCain has to say about his three children from his first marriage, who are obviously a lot closer to him than this half-brother: "I just feel it's inappropriate for us to mention our children." Inappropriate when you're trying to portray yourself as a values candidate even though you're an adulterer, of course. Also, Obama's never said the USA is ungenerous. Why do you feel the need to lie like this?

McCain cheated on his wife from what I have read. I am sure McCain has done many other bad things but we can't talk about that becuase he was a prisoner of war. Republicans have their strategies down well to conserve suppot of neocons and gain support of the ignorant masses.

hi red...yeah we don't know what all went down with his brother. and it makes you wonder, BUT just the same, obama could help him out a little since he is a blood relation. or if for no other reason how about good press?

this sound like ROBIN HOOD story,,ahh???

Obama's family tree just keeps growing. Obama wants to help the poor all around the world, just with your money not his. I have been reading some of the other responder to your discussion and I have just one question what does McCain's first marriage have to do with this story? So instead of answering anything that this discussion is about, just attack McCain typical.

I am not an Obama supporter, but I have to wonder if there is more to this story. Why is he there? Why was he lost? Where is Dad? So on, so forth. Lots of questions there.

I think Obama is a big phoney and he should be ashamed of himself to let his own brother struggle like this. Half brother or not, he is still family. If he can't be there for his family, what makes people think he would be there for his country?

I always make it a practice to stay out of the family affairs of presidential candidates (or any public figures for that matter). This principle applies for me on both sides. Where I do like to contribute is just to say that you never know what goes on behind closed doors, families are hard and eventually everybody has to make a hard decision to do what they feel is right. I know it'll sound lame, but that's where I'd like my contribution to be!
