What If Sarah Palin Or John McCain Had A Half-Brother Living In A Hut In The Middle Of A Slum?

Obama has spent a lot of time this campaign season talking about hope and change.  He’s used his time as a community organizer to illustrate his compassion and willingness to work on behalf of his fellow human beings.  But what about a member of his own family?  His half-brother who lives in hut in the middle of a slum in Kenya?

Obama hasn’t so much as lifted a finger to help him.

The biggest scandal of the election campaign is going unreported, for the most part, by the mainstream newspapers and TV shows. Imagine if John McCain or Sarah Palin had a half-brother who was living in a hut. Imagine if McCain, a multimillionaire, did nothing to help the guy. Imagine if McCain came to the convention and spoke incessantly about compassion and how he was inspired by the biblical mandate: we are our brothers’ keepers! This would be the lead story on the evening news.

So why aren’t the networks covering the fact that Barack Obama’s half-brother George lives in a 6 by 10 foot hut in the slums of Kenya?  It took a reporter for the Italian edition of Vanity Fair to locate George Obama. Obama noted that when he met his famous half-brother in 2006 “we spoke for just a few minutes.  It was like meeting a complete stranger.” George Obama also told the magazine that “I live here on less than a dollar month,” and “if anyone says something about my surname, I say we are not related. I am ashamed.” Obama has done absolutely nothing to help his unfortunate half-brother.

Hope?  Change?

Only when there are reporters on hand to document it.

GOOD NEWS!

McCain/Palin campaign press release:

McCain-Palin 2008 launches truth squad to counter attacks on Governor Sarah Palin

With today’s Wall Street Journal report that pro-Obama Democrats have “airdropped a mini-army of 30 lawyers, investigators and opposition researchers into Anchorage” to dig for dirt on our vice presidential nominee, the McCain-Palin campaign today launched the Palin Truth Squad to counter recent attacks on Governor Sarah Palin, her family, her friends and her record of accomplishment.

Honestly, the back and forth smear campaigns between Republicans and Democrats are like a silent war: the only people that know or care are the ones doing the fighting.  Can’t we stick to the issues?

This guy isn’t exactly a secret. I don’t pay much attention to the news and I knew that Obama had a half brother living in Nigeria before I knew that Cindy McCain was lying about being an only child.

Why is it so damned hard to stick to the issues in a political campaign? Why is it not kosher to criticize Sarah Palin’s family and how she raises her children, but it’s just fine to go after Obama’s relationship with a half brother he doesn’t know?

We actually know very little about his Family because he’s not allowed them to be interviewed….as in his Grandmother.
Who better to clear up any questions about his youth but her?

I think if Sarah’s family was living on less than $12/year, and she would not lift a finger to help them,  I’d be criticizing her, too!

Can you imagine if it had been revealed that Obama had a seventeen year old daughter who was pregnant and the father was a basketball playing ghetto guy who’s myspace page said he was a ****in gangster and liked to fight? The election would be over. But no, if it’s a nice white family, it’s considered nice family values. Talk about double standards in this country.

We talk about family values, etc. Conservatives in this country have been talking about how teenage pregnancy is a sign of our LOSS of values in this country. Now its suddenly the opposite. UGH!

Farrell on September 9, 2008 at 08:48 pm

Why stick to the issues when we can fill the airwaves with Red Herrings - the ones that distract the 98% in this country who are easily duped.

Only 2% of us in the country know what’s really going on.

It’s easy for Republicans to point fingers at Obama and attack family members, his personal life, etc.

Just so long as the Democrats keep promising to leave personal issues personal. I guess Democrats should start calling out all of McCains drunk family members and Palins failed engagements. That would make it fair, at least to the republicans, right?

Alas, Democrats take the high road.My hat goes off to them, and I wag my finger at the person who posted this.

Is this like where the liberal wing of the democratic party went after Bristol Palin and claimed that Trig Palin was Bristol’s baby and not Sarah’s son?

That is funny the BHO campaign sent 30+ (probably way bigger) people to go to Alaska to dig up dirt on Palin so they can smear her good name. That is disgusting and that isn’t sticking to the issues.
