Obama’s Half-Brother Arrested on Drug Charges in Kenya
Personally I could care less but I know the media would have had a fit if this happened to a brother of President Bush, so I am posting this just to spite the hypocrites.

President Obama’s half-brother was arrested Saturday for possession of marijuana near his home in a Nairobi shantytown.
The half-brother of President Barack Obama was arrested for alleged possession of marijuana on Saturday near his home in a Nairobi shantytown, police said.
George Obama, who is in his 20s and barely knows the president, had one joint of marijuana on him, said Joshua Omokulongolo, the police chief in the area.
-He barely knows him? Ok, prez hook a brother up and pony up for a lawyer.
“He is not a drug peddler,” Omokulongolo told The Associated Press. “But it’s illegal, it’s a banned substance.”
George Obama has a court appearance scheduled Monday morning.
He and the president have the same father, who died in a car crash in 1982.
Several of President Obama’s Kenyan relatives went to Washington, D.C., for his inauguration, but George was not among them. He lives in Huruma with extended family.
-I met the better brother of the Carters once; I liked Billy, Jimmie not so much. Without having met George Obama, I already like him more than Barak Obama.
Media reports about him surfaced over the summer, after a magazine article said he lived in a shack and earned a dollar a day. George Obama has called the reports insulting.
“I’m proud of how I live,” he told The Associated Press in an interview over the summer. “(The media) are tarnishing the family name.”
He also said he was studying to be a mechanic and works with a local youth group in Huruma.
In President Obama’s book “Dreams From My Father,” he describes George Obama as “a handsome, roundheaded boy with a wary gaze.”
George is the youngest of the senior Obama’s seven children, born six months before his father died.
-I hope he gets off, I hate to see the pigs oppress a brother.

Cute monkey. He needs to quit smoking-it’s a bad habit.
Poor George, the beautiful boy with the round head. He has been picked on ever since Barry wrote that–ahem–book.
Folks need to keep talking to the grandmother about where Barry was born.
At least the police chief, Mr. Joshua Omokulongolo upheld the law. He spoke like a gentleman.

“Omokulongolo” that’s easy for you to say.

I’m sure he didn’t inhale.

teach, you are so right. Bill didn’t, so surely George didn’t. But didn’t Barry say he did crack cocaine?

Maybe George got the drugs from the same dealer network as Obama?

I think it’s extremely offensive to compare Obama to a monkey!
What did monkeys ever do to you?
He looks like a camel.
