Obama's younger half-brother George has been found living in a 6 X 9 foot shed in Kenya, existing on less than $1 a month. Is this how Obama will handle the homeless? (ignore them) Why doesn't he care about his own family?

A)old news

B) I guess you missed the follow up where his brother stated Vanity Fair distorted his words and that he lives a life he likes and has never asked for or wanted money from his brother.

Oh that's so mean. We've all heard how much Barry's family means to him. I mean he said so in the books right?

That's probably not even true. We've all been told by the Dems it's really the USA with the terrible social services. Maybe that photo was taken here. Maybe the mean streets of Chicago. I mean I believe he LOVES it. Looks great.

Just like I'm sure it wouldn't take any "donations" to help him change his mind. I'd like to see Vanity Fair do a follow up.

Apparently, George Obama does, as was evidenced ad nauseum when this news came out a few weeks ago. Not everyone in this world centers their lives around material possessions, comfort and luxury. Some people just prefer a simpler life, and some people prefer to do things themselves, without the assistance of their wealthier, more famous older half-brothers.
