Barack Obama's half brother, George Onyango Obama, was found living in a 6 by 10 foot slum hut in Huruma estate just outside of Nairobi. According to reports George Obama survives on $12 a year in the slums of Kenya.

George Obama is 26-years-old and for the first time spoke out about his life to the Italian edition of Vanity Fair recently. David M N James was the one to interview George Obama who made him pay $200 dollars for a five minute interview.

Thaindian News reported:

"George Obama, a 26 year old man lives in Huruma estate in a dingy he calls a house. In fact its not a dingy but a single room with a foul stench of stale cigarette and fresh pot smoke. I was short of words; I was shocked and repulsive at the environment a brother to a man who might one day become the most powerful man in the world lives. Huruma is sprawling slum laden estate. Flies, dirty as they are, fly allover, women and children everywhere, dirty and unkempt wander here. Small enterprises and all sorts of bars, video watching rooms and dirty food joints are strewn along the streets...(George)Obama said he supports his brothers presidency. He confessed that he barely communicates with him but hopes to meet him soon. Also that, he doest get any kind of support from the multimillionaire Barrack Obama."

"George was emphatic that he is used to Huruma life which he called ghetto life. He is into drugs and all sorts of vices, one of his bodyguards, (the two men we found in the room) said he has tried all drugs you can mention. He eats whats found there and that he has been earning from the tons of journalists coming to see him. He boasted at a time when he said that he turned away a CNN crew which was offering him $1500 which is equivalent to kshs 100,000."

Obama has yet to be reported to reaching out to his half-brother George and has in spite of that garnered a lot of people criticizing him on his treatment of his family. Sean Hannity from Fox News has repeatedly attacked Obama for not sending his half-brother any money. My question though is, if the Republicans want Sarah Palin's family out of the media, why are they then dragging Obama's half brother into it? It may be a point of hypocrisy on both sides in this writer's opinion. Let's leave family out of this and let's concentrate on the issues and who can be the better president. (c) tPC
