Answer 1

You waste too much time listening to Rush Limbow.

You didn't link him, how come?

Answer 2

Here is what the CNN story actually said -- not so much disproving the original claim though.

(Barack's half brother, George) Obama, who is in his mid-20s, is learning to become a mechanic and is active in youth groups in Huruma. He said he tries to help the community as much as he can.

At least one of his neighbors feels that perhaps the candidate should help the brother.

"I would like Obama to visit his brother to see how he is living, to improve his way of life," said Emelda Negei, who runs a small dispensary near Obama's house.

But George Obama will have none of it. He draws inspiration from his famous half-brother. He acknowledges that he is biased but said he knows that his half-brother will be the next president.

Bottom line is the poorest person in this country lives better than the above average person in many underdeveloped countries because of the corruption and fighting there.  

But we're (the U.S.) the bad guys?

Answer 3

CNN has disproven this story. George is the half brother, but he is NOT poor and is not 'living in a shack'....according to George himself.

CNN: "Reports surfaced in the past few days, springing from an Italian Vanity Fair article saying George Obama is living in a shack and "earning less than a dollar a day."

The reports left him angry.

"I was brought up well. I live well even now," he said. "The magazines, they have exaggerated everything.

Answer 4

He has many siblings that his father fathered out of wedlock, so he has many more.
