Texas GOP Targets Obama's Kenyan Half-Brother

ABC News:

In a web video, the Republican Party of Texas hits back Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., on the "housing" issue in a web video that attacks the Democrat because his half-brother George lives in a shack outside Nairobi, Kenya.

"Barack Obama has viciously attacked John McCain and his family for being successful and living the American dream," says the ad's narrator.

...

"...but ask yourself this: If Obama cares so much about your family why doesn't he doesn't take care of his own family first. Barack Obama lives in this house..." (image of Obama's house)

"...wants to live in this one..." (image of White House)

"...while his own brother lives in this one." (image of Obama's half brother George.)

It is the Corporate -not American- Dream that McCain lives. He is of, by, and for the Corporation-an extension the Bushist Nationalist Socialist regime.

Being blind to middle and lower class rights and needs is what one would expect from the wealthy right, which prefers a single, uniform, and powerless lower class. That would be the biggest Mission Accomplished of all: The conquest of democracy from within.

No, Senator McCain: The American Dream is not exclusively yours and Cindy's.

President Obama's half brother does not want to come to the United States to live with his brother. He wants to stay in his country to continue his father's work of taking care of the poor.

McSame and company are so low to exploit someone's life to advanced their agenda.

President Obama will prevail because McSame and his low life crew are doing their best to drive people to vote for President Obama.

That's really disgusting. I mean the lowest of the lowest. McCain is going to lose big in a mudslide.

To think that I once admired McCain... (Shudders violently)

[Avembe]

By the way , did they pay George for using his Name and image in the ad?
well it's the GOP ...you Know...

[1PALady]

I guess we have to take a look in at Cindy's two half sisters now. Fair is fair.

[RedKnuckles]

According to Cindy, she's an only child...what's she hiding there?? Fair game I say...

[tjdevil96]

Let the 527's handle that stuff!

[Avembe]

Once again is this a way to tell Obama"Go back to Africa and mind your "real" family's business
instead of ..."
I suggested that on ABC but they cutiously deleted my post...why is that?

[HAYMONBRANDON]

THIS ONLY SHOWS HOW AFRAID THEY ARE OF BARACK FEAR ALWAYS DRIVES ONE TO DO THINGS THAT THEY THINK WILL HELP. OBAMA FAMILY IS LIKE MY DAUGHTER'S HER DAD HAS 11 CHILDREN FROM 6 DIFFRENT MOTHERS WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT EACH OTHER .THESE KIDS DON'T HAVE A BOND SO THEY DON'T GET ALONG. OBAMA WASN'T RAISED WITH HIS HALF BROTHERS AND SISTERS. HE DID WHAT OTHERS HAVE DONE HE PULLED HISSELF UP AND MADE SOMETHING OF HIMSELF AND NOW HE COULD BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES .PEOPLE WANT TO DO EVERY THING IN THEIR POWER TO HURT AND DESTROY HIM AND AMERICA IS MEAN AND UGLY LOOK HOW THEY TURN ON AN FELLOW AMERICAN WHO IS LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM. WHY IS IT THAT ONLY A WHITE MAN CAN BE PRESIDENT ALSO SINCE WHEN WOMAN BORN TO WHITE PARENTS IN KANSAS HOW AMERICAN CAN YOU GET .

[BJBirdie]

Wow. That's a cheap shot. I think Rev. Wright is a legitimate issue, and maybe this Ayers stuff to, but not this.

Not only is this a personal issue, but the GOP would love to remind people that Obama's brother is African (he's not like us!).

Below the belt.

From Wikipedia.com: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Obama#George_Obama
George Hussein Onyango Obama (born c. 1982) is reputed to be the lost half-brother of Barack Obama, American Democratic presidential nominee. George was six-months old when his father died in an automobile accident, after which George was raised in Nairobi by his mother, Jael, and a step-father, who is French. George lived in South Korea 2001–2003 while his mother resided there for business reasons. According to the Italian edition of Vanity Fair magazine, George Obama resides in Huruma Flats in Nairobi, Kenya and is studying to become a mechanic. He is "furious at subsequent reports that he had been abandoned by the Obama family and that he was filled with shame about living in a slum".

A disgustingly pathetic ad!

[keepemhonest]

Cindy McCain has denied her 2 sisters exist and they are mad. George Obama is happy where he is and is not happy with the GOP using him ...

What does either story have to do with the high price of gas, milk & bread?

What does either story have to do with the fact John McCain wants to bring back the DRAFT?

Did I mention, Cindy McCain stole drugs from the Children's Charity she created, for YEARS so she could get high with stolen drugs, right under John's nose! If he can't take care of what goes on in his own home - How can he take care of this country?

[yvette7112001]

To be quite honest...the ad shows that Obama's orgins are that of poor and it shows how Obama pulled himself up to become what he is today. Also, they are playing a dangerous game with this ad...Cindy and John have skeletons do they they really want their dirt aired? Finally, Obama has only met his half brother twice...once when he was kid and I think on his African tour...I think Obama has 8 half-sibliings on his dad side...sorry but I don't consider that Obama's responsibility...especially, if they are more strangers than they are brothers...Maybe, after this they will create a relationship but this ad shows the plight of fatherless children...Obama was a fatherless child that made it...

[chronic]

Amen!

[chitown8]

Agreed!

[Daly]

Obama election will have the most diverse family ever as he is sworn in; many of his mothers side will be invited as they are already here in America and darn proud of him. Hopefully he can have both grandmothers there - that would be a grand.

Extended family embraces many ethnic group the most distant of them being the African branch but that is the group that the GOPs found the most provocative. Not the ones in Kansas, not the ones in Hawaii but the ones that cannot even vote in our elections.

[SouthpawSass]

Do they really want to go there?

Who is the abuser? Called his wife the "c" word... I hate that word.

Who left his disabled wife and children for his much younger, richer mistress? Can we trust he'll be faithful in his promise to the American people? I don't think so...

Who has not been faithful in any marriage? Cindy Hensley in the first, lobbyist Vicki Iseman in his second... Talk about off shore drilling!

I'd love it if we went there, but I don't think McCain would.

[Beka13]

Why is the party of "personal responsiblity" wanting Obama to give handouts to his half brother? This just proves that they will say anything to win even if its against their own agenda....

[chronic]

Exactly!
