Obama's brother in Kenya arrested for drug possesion. (cocaine, George W. Bush, school)

[ovcatto]

The treatment this story is getting is one of the reasons I got out of the news business. Stupid. The distant half brother gets busted in the Kenyan version of Cops and its the story of the day. God helps us.

What exactly does this have to do with Barack Obama??

[MiamiRob]

that's quite presumptious of you Bryan61. Obama admitted to using drugs and there is a difference to using drugs and be a full blown addict. Besides what is the big deal with this story? Obama can't control what his other relatives do. Bush was a alcoholic for the first 40 years of his life and even got a DUI and still made it to the Presidency.

President Bashing is passe, alas.. It will never be the same after Bush, even the most feeblest of minds could join in the fun.

Agree. When a poster purposely uses a misleading title to garner attention or smear the innocent, it ultimately effects his own character in the eyes of the forum community.

Here's a little ditty to sum it up while puffing on the magic dragon...

"Gloom, despair, and agony on me
Deep, dark depression, excessive misery
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all
Gloom, despair, and agony on me"

Character in the forum community? That is like saying character in the political arena, it does not exist in abundance.

I love these liberals talking about "bashing" as if its the first time they've ever seen such a thing

My brother(full brother living in the same country as I, same genes, same family and we KNOW each other) has done coke, I never have and never will do coke. There your theory blown out of the water.

Now tell me where you found out smoking pot comes with the Presidency....
