George Hussein Onyango Obama, Senator Barack Obama's long lost brother was tracked down living in a hut on the outskirts of Nairobi Photo: Guy Calaf, Vanity Fair, Italy The Italian edition of Vanity Fair said that it had found George Hussein Onyango Obama living in a hut in a ramshackle town of Huruma on the outskirts of Nairobi.

Mr Obama, 26, the youngest of the presidential candidate's half-brothers, spoke for the first time about his life, which could not be more different than that of the Democratic contender.

"No-one knows who I am," he told the magazine, before claiming: "I live here on less than a dollar a month."

According to Italy's Vanity Fair his two metre by three metre shack is decorated with football posters of the Italian football giants AC Milan and Inter, as well as a calendar showing exotic beaches of the world.

Vanity Fair also noted that he had a front page newspaper picture of his famous brother - born of the same father as him, Barack Hussein Obama, but to a different mother, named only as Jael.

He told the magazine: "I live like a recluse, no-one knows I exist."

Embarrassed by his penury, he said that he does not does not mention his famous half-brother in conversation.

"If anyone says something about my surname, I say we are not related. I am ashamed," he said.

For ten years George Obama lived rough. However he now hopes to try to sort his life out by starting a course at a local technical college.

He has only met his famous older brother twice - once when he was just five and the last time in 2006 when Senator Obama was on a tour of East Africa and visited Nairobi.

The Illinois senator mentions his brother in his autobiography, describing him in just one passing paragraph as a "beautiful boy with a rounded head".

Of their second meeting, George Obama said: "It was very brief, we spoke for just a few minutes. It was like meeting a complete stranger."

George added he was no longer in contact with his mother and said:"I have had to learn to live and take what I need.

"Huruma is a tough place, last January during the elections there was rioting and six people were hacked to death. The police don't even arrest you they just shoot you.

"I have seen two of my friends killed. I have scars from defending myself with my fists. I am good with my fists."

leaving his bro out in the boonies....


yeah. that sounds like obama


i'm moving to europe...

If this is how he treats his family, imagine how he'll treat you!

obama with his millions can't throw his brother a little help....he lives on 12 dollars a year....guess the real character of Obama shines through again

This is the person that wants to lead out country

Hahaha. At this rate, we could easily conclude that an Obama/Mugabe ticket is a real possibility.

You've got to wonder about the political motives of someone who would travel all the way to Africa to dig up a half brother of Obama.

Of course, John McCain is squeaky clean and we can trust him because he is a war hero!

But, no need to worry about it........

Lindyy

who the **** cares...i bet we all have relatives we dont know or dont care about...so unless you and your family and everyone you know doesnt have a problem, dont judge...christian, hypicritical asses...the government lies to you...take back your control

The closer we get to election time, the more we will 'learn' about obama....and it will not be of any substanative value....the democrats are totally at a loss with this man......

he is so ambiguous, broad and vague....how can anyone even listen to his rhetoric?

LINDYY

family is family, that is blood. If Osama, I mean Obama was Christian as he claims to be, he should help out his Brother. That is not the Christian way, but it sounds like something islamic in a way.

WASHINGTON - When Cindy McCain talks about growing up, she usually refers to herself as an "only child" - a phrase that ignores the existence of her half-sisters.

"It's terribly painful," Kathleen Hensely Portalski said Tuesday. "It is as if she is the real daughter. I am also a real daughter."

Portalski and McCain are both children of the late Jim Hensley, the Arizona businessman who founded one of the largest beer distributorships in the nation. Kathleen, 65, is the product of Hensley's first marriage in the 1930s to Mary Jeanne Parks. Hensley divorced Parks for Marguerite "Smitty" Johnson, whom he met at a West Virginia hospital in World War II and married in 1945. Cindy was born nine years later.

The half-sisters had little contact growing up and have not spoken since Hensley's funeral in 2000. In his will, he left just $10,000 to his older daughter; Cindy inherited her father's multimillion-dollar fortune.



McCains have many skeletons in their closet in Arizona. I could post all night on some of his scandals.

How ambiguous, broad and vague, and of no substantive value???

Do you mean like this post of yours???

If you have learned such revealing information about the man, don't you think you should share it with us.

If, on the other hand, you are just expressing some partisan wishfull thinking, could you at least wait for the awful news to be brought by your chief propagandists?!?!?

Not islamic in the slightest!!!

It is very much christian!!!

Just like our pal McCain, whom dumped his first wife following a car crash which left her seriously injured.

Now between those two christian 'sins', I'd say Obama's is of the 'venial' brand, but McCain's is of the major league brand of sins.

Anyhow, where exactly do people find joy and redemption in all this christian calumnious bashing!!!

Big words from a Canadian

wow, did i close my eyes and wake up and realize that God is in quebec?
are u the one in power to forgive people mortal sins?

and do you feel that your country is threatend by the US, after all we are blood sucking oil and land seeking leeches! warmongering with powerful military forces.
<<and yes, i am being sarcastic>>

Oh dear sacastic one!!!

You sure have missed the whole point!!!

But since you think I'm god, let me forgive you, before I forget!!!

You're friend the 'bear' brought up the christian filter, not I!!!

If you, Oh sacarstic one, did not pick-up the sarcasm from my post, let me doubt thou's calling!!!

Calumnious insinuations are the coward's, and ingnorant's favored refuge!!!

People should be really bored with the insinuations questionning Obama's citzenship, and when that fails, his faith, and when that fails whatever insinuation comes to one's mind.

Isn't evident. When there is nothing of substance, you start hearing the delusional attacks of the 'antichrist' type!!! All baseless insinuations.

How can that still find an audience in 2008!!!

Not original!

Not helpful in trying to really find the merit of one candidate over another!

Not christian for those whom bring it up!

And certainly not revealing any great character from those spreading this kind of calumnious rethoric!

Any clearer, Oh! 'sar'CAT'stic' one?!?!?!

oh please, what garbage this is. Obama knows very little about his HALF brother and they do not live in the same country.

Every last one of you who sites this as some kind of "sign" of something are not taking care of your distant relatives either so keep it. You sit in judgement as if this is some kind of "rarity" and none and I mean NONE of you supports your brothers and sisters not to mention any of your more distant relatives.

You are funny, how many brain cells gave their lives for 'sar'CAT'stic' one?!?!?!

Well boycow, looks like you saved-up on just enough to 'understand' that one.

Good for you!

Now don't go wasting too many of those!!! They are scarce in some cases, as you well know.
