Barack Obama's poverty-stricken half-brother surfaces in Kenya
The junior Illinois Senator's half brother lives in an African shanty, surviving on less than $1 a month.



George Hussein Onyango Obama is one of Barack Hussein Obama's seven living half-siblings. He lives on pennies a month in a hut in Kenya Africa, the Italian edition of Vanity Fair revealed.

George Obama was born by a different mother than Barack was and sired by the same father, Barack Hussein Obama.



According to The Telegraph, George Hussein Onyango Obama has only met Barack Hussein Obama, his older brother, twice in his life, once when he was five years old and again in 2006 when Obama toured East Africa and visited Nairobi.

Obama speaks of his brother in his autobiography, saying he was a "beautiful boy with a rounded head."

George told Vanity Fair that he likes to live as a recluse and that no one knows he exists and he further states that when he asked about his name, Obama, he denies that he is related to Barack Obama, stating "I say we are not related. I am ashamed."

Not ashamed of Barack Obama, but of his own extreme poverty.

George has hopes of attending a local technical college in the hopes of bettering himself.

George Obama says he saw his famous half-brother two years ago, when Obama traveled to Africa with his wife and daughters. "It was a short meeting," George Obama recalled. "We spoke to each other. It was odd - like meeting a stranger."

He also describes what it is like to live where he lives, detailing riots and people being hacked to death during the last elections, saying that the police do not arrest a person, they just shoot them.

He ends by saying, "I have seen two of my friends killed. I have scars from defending myself with my fists. I am good with my fists."

This is a stark contrast to how his older half-brother lives as well as showing a difference regarding the opportunities that one brother has had and the other might never get.

In the book Dreams from My Father, Obama identified eight half-brothers and sisters from four other marriages or relationships of his parents. George was the youngest, the only child of Obama's father and a woman not named in the book.

Barack Obama's campaign had no comment on the Vanity Fair piece.

Based on the article, it appears George Obama has more pressing concerns than his half-brother's presidential bid.
