Who cares what his brother has done anymore than they should ahve what presidents adult children have doen. That is why I thoguht it so sily when democrats made a big issue of teh Bush girls drinking alcohol.
Awwww....... JFK, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton had brothers that embarrassed them too. As far as I can see this kind of thing just runs in the family for Democrats.
Is that an unsubtle jab at me, because you assume I'm a democrat? Once again, I'm not.
There are a lot of things Obama has done that I disagree with. But what his half brother legally does in another country is simply a non-issue to anything else. I'd rather worry about the important things he does right or wrong, than whine about something completely unimportant.
And don't get me started on JFK. That sumb*tch screwed up so many things that we're still paying for.

You were directly responding to something I said, using multiple whiny/crying emotes, a sarcastic "awww", and then made a direct insult about democrats. Are you saying this wasn't a poke at me, despite the fact that you were responding to a post of mine? Backpedal much?
Discuss all you want but I would still like to know how this is relevant to US politics. I've asked several times and still haven't gotten an answer.
Because its the presidents brother.. You had no problem discussing things like Bushs children, even though they had nothing to do with US Politics, did you?

I will attempt to answer your question. This is my opinion, and if you don't agree with me,
it won't be the first time that has happened.
Many liberals gave Palin (conservative political figure) and her daughter much blame
when their 'moral issues' were 'reported'. So now, conservatives are attacking/
reporting' 0bama's 1/2 brother's (family member of liberal political figure) 'moral issues'.

While I personally feel that minor children of presidents and vice presidents should not be used by the media, or by opposing parties for political gain, there is a difference between poking at a president's family who are US citizens, and half-siblings who are not US citizens and are not even residing in the country. The president's brother is also not a minor or a child under the presidents direct supervision, unlike Palin's daughter or the Bush sisters.

Oh lord. Just admit you bow down to Obama already. Shine those shoes.
Is it not ironic that these libs feel someone's family like Sarah Palin's is fair game for scrutiny and criticism, but BO's is off limits?
I don't remember Obama's brother appearing on Dancing With the Stars or making the rounds of cable news talk shows. The Palin's love the media limelight--they're angling for a reality show apparently. Once you make that leap into the tabloid media circus you're fair game.
