Obama has a Brother, Cindy has a Sister

Well I just read HillBuzz tonight and discovered Body Odor has a brother. His half-brother lives in Nairobi on less than $1 a month.  He is 26 years old. Now you cannot tell me Body Odor didn’t know he had a Half brother in Nairobi. And you cannot convince me this man was not aware of his brother’s Poverty, while he lived it up rich here in America. Of course seeing he did not take care of his Chicago constituents like HillBuzz says, then it is obvious he is going to ignore his brother too.

Here is a clipping I found on the Net:

George’s shack, which is 6 feet by 10 feet, is decorated with soccer posters and a photograph of Barack, 47, from a newspaper. “I live like a recluse, no one knows I exist,” George told VF. George and Barack reportedly have the same father, Barack Obama Sr., who died in a car accident in his native Kenya in 1982. “If anyone says something about my surname, I say we are not related,” George said. “I am ashamed [of the way I live].”

George says he has met the Democratic presidential hopeful twice: when he was 5-years-old and in 2006, when Barack visited Nairobi. “It was very brief, we spoke for just a few minutes,” George recalled of the 2006 meeting. “It was like meeting a complete stranger.”

George Obama, the youngest of the presidential candidate’s half-brothers, spoke for the first time about his life, which is a stark contrast to that of the Democratic senator. For 10 years, George Obama has lived in poverty, but he’s hoping to turn his fate around by enrolling at a local technical college.

George says he is no longer in touch with his mother (only known as Jael), adding, “I have had to learn to live and take what I need. Last January during the elections there was rioting and six people were hacked to death. The police don’t even arrest you; they just shoot you.”

George has had to survive by his wits. “I have seen two of my friends killed. I have scars from defending myself with my fists,” he said. “I am good with my fists.”

This is how he treats his Family? Like they are strangers? Is he so ashamed of his Family? It’s like I have been reading that this would some how prove that he is not an American Citizen? Or perhaps that he is not who he appears to be? And that bit George said about saying they are not related? I think perhaps the Senator did not want the world to find out about his brother, that he some how has something to hide. And even if not, how can he be ashamed of his family living in poverty while he has it in his power to help them out?? And yet ONE more reason I will not be voting for this man! He claims he wants change but he pulls Politics like everyone else. Change my ASS!

Well here is another Family member being disowned, this one by Cindy McCain:

NEW ORLEANS – A half-sister of Cindy McCain has emerged to speak in an interview with National Public Radio, complaining that she feels hurt when she hears the wife of Republican Sen. John McCain describe herself as an only child.

Cindy McCain’s father was the late Jim Hensley, founder of the Hensley & Co. beer distributorship, from his second marriage, while her half-sister Kathleen Portalski was Hensley’s daughter from his first marriage, NPR said in the exclusive report that aired on Monday.

Portalski, 65, is retired and lives in Phoenix.

Her son Nicholas Portalski contacted NPR after hearing the radio station’s profile of Cindy McCain last week  that described her as an only child.

Cindy McCain often calls herself an only child and has been described as such in The New Yorker, The New York Times, Newsweek and ABC, NPR said.

“I’m upset,” Kathleen Portalski said in the interview with NPR correspondent Ted Robbins. “I’m angry. It makes me feel like a nonperson, kind of.”

Portalski said she saw her father a few times a year, such as Christmas and birthdays, and that he gave her money for school clothes. He also provided money for college tuition to his grandchildren and left Portalski  $10,000 in his will when he died in 2000, NPR said.

The Portalskis say they were disappointed when Cindy McCain inherited the bulk of her father’s fortune. She now serves as chairman of  Hensley & Company, one of the largest Anheuser-Busch distributors in the nation.

Portalski’s son said the family came forward because “we’ve never been recognized, and then Cindy has to put such a fine point on it by saying something that’s not true.”

“It’s just very, very hurtful,” he said.

Hensley was still married to his first wife when he met Marguerite Smith, who would become his second wife and Cindy McCain’s mother, NPR said.

Hensley divorced his first wife and married Smith in 1945, NPR said. Cindy McCain was born in 1954.

Kathleen Portalski told NPR she would like an acknowledgment and an apology.

NPR asked the McCain campaign and Cindy McCain to comment but said neither responded to its requests.

The Portalskis also told NPR they are Democrats.
