What's up with the whole Obama half-brother thing?

Question

do you think it will mess up his chances of winning??

Answer 1

Its a Right wing distortion. His half brother is quite angry over it.

" "I think I wanted to learn about my father the same way he did," George Obama told me about why he read the book. "He came here searching for his roots, and I was also trying to find my roots."

Unlike his grandmother in Kogela, in Western Kenya, George Obama had received little attention from the media."

Answer 2

It's a non issue.  I think that it's interesting that the so called "family values" party is attempting to use a candidates family connections against him.  Obama and his half brother are practically strangers.  George Obama has even said that he doesn't want help from Barack.  Sean Hannity won't tell you that part of the story.
