Important Truckers Forum Notice!

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Barack Obama's 'lost' brother found in Kenya

This is the kind of stuff you can't make up... I know I've tried.

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."

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."

Or is Obama describing in his book his "first meeting" of his brother when he was "5"?

I've read it several times and it keeps coming off as racist to me. But that may just be me... ever since my "vacation", I've been kind of emotional.

There is no doubt that the Democrats have been playing the Race Card since BEFORE Obama was selected, but Obama DID write his book (both of them in-fact) long before the "second" meeting in 2006.

Well you know how sensitive I am when it comes to protecting minority rights. Maybe I overreacted.

Now... I wonder if I could adopt Obama's little brother through one of the those save the children programs... you know you give $10 a month, and you get a photo and progress reports on how they're doing... I just feel like we should do something to help.

Boy probably means just that...A young boy, what I find more troubling is the great One has no problem abandoning his own brother to live on a dollar a day!

What the hell!!!...is this true?

Sure, every 26 year-old African needs to get adopted by a rich white American.

Wrong "MATE", she was hatched in Flint Michigan and got her "rocking" roots in Motown.
