Why does Obama keep saying " I am my brothers keeper"?

Question

His brother lives in a hut on $1 a month. Multi millionaire Barack doesnt help his brother at all.

Answer 1

he has another brother that he keeps locked up in his closet.

Answer 2

it's from a bible story about cain n able

when god asked cain where his brother is he asked "am i my brother's keeper?" after he had killed him

so i guess obama's saying that the people he's hoping to serve are his "brother" n that he would not let harm come their way .....i guess he's saying that he would do the opposite of bush lol (not kill/distroy this country and economy anymore than it's been ruined )

Answer 3

His brother has actually said he's glad Obama has not swooped in.

Plus, it is his half-brother, one who was born by a father he has only met once in his post-infant life.

Answer 4

He wants to keep his hand in your pocket

Answer 5

How hypocritical of him  

Answer 6

Help George Obama.

George Obama, half-brother of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, has lived in squalor and destitution in a suburb of Nairobi, Kenya all of his 26 years.  Even if Senator Obama won't, we, the people, can bring REAL change to young George's life by opening our hearts and wallets.  If this election is about Hope and Change, let us give George Obama hope by sending him money, food and supplies.  Let us change his life for good through the generosity of private citizens and not through government programs.

Answer 7

LMAO...That's hilarious.  He wants to help people, but only with taxpayers money.

Answer 8

Because he's not full of hate and bile like republicans.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Because he's a cheap &*%$.  He only gives to that racist pastor/uncle.

Obamas Donated Less Than 1% of Their 2000-2004 Income

By Ryan J. Donmoyer and Julianna Goldman

March 25 (Bloomberg) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle gave $10,772 of the $1.2 million they earned from 2000 through 2004 to charities, or less than 1 percent, according to tax returns for those years released today by his campaign.

The couple earned more than $2.6 million in 2005 and 2006, combined, after the Illinois senator published a bestselling book in 2005. They donated $137,622 over those two years and made their church, Trinity United Church of Christ, one of the biggest beneficiaries of their philanthropy, donating $27,500. Obama is under scrutiny for his ties to the church because of comments made by its senior pastor.

Answer 17

False...proven false by George Obama and CNN.

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.

"I think I kind of like it here. There are some challenges, but maybe it is just like where you come from, there are the same challenges," Obama said.

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.
