Ok, has anyone heard this one... Obama has a half brother in Kenya living off less than a dollar a month. He lives in a hut, and Obama has not helped him.

This is the latest right wing smear... Rush Limbaugh began talking about it last week, now Hannity and the rest of his followers are on it too... Can anyone debunk this one?

All the time... ridiculous. My opinion... even if it IS his biological brother... its not his brother brother. If I were in that position... with a father that I only saw for one month.... I'd be pretty distant myself. Sounds more like a side of the fam that was less trying to be with him than him not trying to be with them. His father "shamed" his Kenyan family by marrying his mom. Leave it to Republicans to try to over simplify what's going on.

His half brother who disappeared and hasn't been heard from for 20 years. How was Barack supposed to "help" him when no one knew where he was and probably only met once in his life if ever?

What about the half sister Cindy Hensley/McCain had written out of her father's will?

P.S. she's voting for Obama

I keep forgetting about that. And she's actually IN the U.S.
