So if Obama had a brother (from the same parents), he'd look just like that "kid"?

The burden of proof is on the claimant. It's pretty standard. If the OP found the information, read it, and posted a thread here on the topic it should be right at their fingertips. It takes less time to copy/paste the URL then it does to even write a sentence. It shows honesty that the claim is available to read at the source, and respect to the readers time.

Many times there is no proof, the thread is fiction, and people move on. It's a quick way to even see if there is something to discuss.

Frankly, if I went and researched everything on every wild ass claim on this forum every day I wouldn't have the time to leave the house and have a life. If people can spend every day researching claims on free forums and arguing them, have at it. I am quite happy not to be in that club.

Naturally, both of their fathers abandoned them as well, but that's a demographical thing. Perhaps the cruelest thing that anybody could ever do in this world is abandon a child, but lets not talk about that. Sad....
Barack Obama is unavailable for comment. Go figure.....

Come on, if you are going to start a thread about something you should at least link a story from a respected website. At the bare minimum.

The OP made a ridiculous comparison anyway but at least give some proof.

It's important to note that he, like Obama, chose to identify with his "black" side more than his "white" side. The problem is this kid very likely did not come from a privileged family (as Obama did), therefore any likeness the President could possibly conjur up would indeed have to revolve 100% around skin color and nothing to do with economic class.

I highly doubt this kid was a world traveler by the age of 10, was enrolled in an elite private school as an adolescent, or would have been given privileged access to Columbia and Harvard. No, this kid is yet another example of how economic class and absent fathers clash to create a worthless society of unaccountable kids.

Typically, Libs require that someone ELSE does the work, and they simply benefit from it. Emerald city is toeing the line-Well, actually, trying to make someone else toe the line for him/her.

Is it too soon to expect a statement from Obama, saying that if he had a Son, he'd likely look like Thug #3?

And considering both Obama and Thug #3 have mixed parents, it'd be a more honest statement than what Obama said about Trayvon.

I'm very upset that the President has not spoken about this yet. An international student was killed on US soil, as Americans we should be ashamed. This poor kid came to study here and play baseball and he gets killed, for no reason.
Obama should be all over this even just to apologize to the Australian family on behalf of all Americans.

The US really is too violent. Everyone is up in arms over Miley Cyrus but the violence in this country is more horrifying to the international community then some poptard who cant sing or dance.
