		<description>Steve, Barry met George when George was 5 and again a couple of years back.  I know if I had a half brother living in squalor in the third world (by the way, I have a step brother living in the third world but he takes care of himself just fine but if he needed help I would help him) I know i would do what I could.

Rather than looking at it as having no sympathy for a half brother he hardly knows maybe one should look at it from the perspective of not holding an obviously bad fathers actions against the son.

It would take little effort on Barry&#039;s part to help his half brother in tremendous ways.

Again, if this is how he treats his blood how will we fare any better?</description>

		<description>You have forced me to have “sympathy for the devil” in this case. This isn’t an appropriate line of attack.

Obama’s deadbeat dad left Obama when he was only two. Didn’t have much contact with him afterwards.

So, why should he feel any family loyalty to any of his father’s offspring after his father left him. Yeah, his father went around having child after child but if I was Barack, I would have no feeling once so ever for those offspring. If I had any feeling it would be one of antipathy.

I hear this commonly happens, although in this case yeah, there were some unique factors. But I have heard that it is often the case where a father (sometimes a mother) abandons his “Starter family” and indeed becomes a very good father to his new family, but for the children of his first marriage he just for the most part cuts off relations with them.

No wonder that the “starter children” would have so much resentment towards the “new children”. The new children have the father that he should have been for for the starter children but wasn’t.

By making fun of this situation in the case of Barak you are alienating all the “starter children” out there who have found themselves in a similar situation.

One thing I do find interesting about the whole “George Obama” thing is that his father named him Barack (an Arab name) and this guy George (an American name). Or is this just a nickname, like say Barry?

But again, don’t blame Barack for not not helping a guy who really isn’t his brother except genetically. First we don’t even know if he knew about George, and even if he did why should he care? I honestly wouldn’t care if some offspring of my deadbeat dad who left my mother and I as a child lived or died. He would be like a stranger.

Although, I am am just speculating on how I would feel as my dad never left my mother and I.</description>

		<description>Corby, please be more detailed in your name calling here.

Is Obama the idiot for letting his brother live in squalor or is it I for saying so?

A little clarity please.</description>
