Obama's brother still lives in a slum and his Aunt still lives in the ghetto. Should Obama care enough to ensure that his distant relatives are living better than they currently are? Maybe it is just me that is having difficulties believing that family should not want to see anyone living poorly if they are in a position to assist them. I can only hope that his brother continues to do well with his heartfelt endeavors for the people in his country.
Did you READ what you posted? The guy lives there voluntarily. He runs and raises money for his youth football club. He's a recovered drug addict who wants to give what he has back to his community. He's been inspired by President Obama to be a better person and to make a difference in his part of the world. Sounds like Barack has given this man quite a bit.

If he did you'd be whining about taxpayer dollars supporting Obama's black welfare relatives.
Obama doesnt have his own personal money he could give his brother?
He doesnt have a dollar it would go along way where his brother lives
Why is he required to support a half brother that he barely knows? ETA, this same half brother is an admitted "gangsta"...why are you so concerned with his family, whom you don't even know?

Then since that works thats what Obama needs to do for the poor in this country.( even though they have it better then his brother does)
Obama can help the poor in America the same way he helped his own brother. Since it was good enough for family.
According to their tax returns, in 2006 and 2007, the Obamas gave 5.8 percent and 6.1 percent of their income to charity. I guess Michelle Obama has to draw the line someplace with all this ‘giving back' stuff. The Bidens gave 0.15 percent and 0.31 percent of the income to charity.
Meanwhile, in 1991, 1992 and 1993, George W. Bush had incomes of $179,591, $212,313 and $610,772. His charitable contributions those years were $28,236, $31,914 and $31,292. During his presidency, Bush gave away more than 10 percent of his income each year.
For purposes of comparison, in 2005, Barack Obama made $1.7 million -- more than twice President Bush's 2005 income of $735,180 -- but they both gave about the same amount to charity.
That same year, the heartless Halliburton employee Vice President Dick Cheney gave 77 percent of his income to charity. The following year, in 2006, Bush gave more to charity than Obama on an income one-third smaller than Obama's
Because hes family who said anything about support? Help yes
How can he claim to care about poor people when he doesnt even help his own family.
Amazing simply amazing that you even posted that
Oh GIVE ME A BREAK! The FACT is that if he gives money to him (and how do we even know that he does or doesn't) and your RW bloggers get wind, we will absolutely have a million posts here on CD saying how he's using tax payers money to support his family in Africa. And then you know what we'll then have the same fight that we had about Michelle's shoes, arguing over whether it was tax payers money or his own money, which I think one of your cronies argued he couldn't possibly have $600 to his name, so I doubt he'd have enough to help his brother out if that's the case.
