"Yikes! I Might Be...Militia!"
In a post eight months ago, I asked the question, Why is ‘Grandma Obama’ Still Living in a Hut? Yesterday, I published a post about the discovery of another Barack Obama relative — a half-brother — living in a hut in Africa. Now, I’m wondering whether or not the most-recent Obama-related discovery was just a figment of my imagination.
Why do I wonder? Because so few of the major news media outlets have offered any coverage of the discovery, by a writer for the Italian edition of Vanity Fair, of George Hussein Onyango Obama living in a hut in a ramshackle town of Huruma on the outskirts of Nairobi. Here’s proof:
At approximately 2:30 p.m. Central, I conducted a Google Advanced News Search with “hut” in the top blank, “Barack Obama” in the exact-phrase line and “anytime” as the time frame. Making no other changes, the search yielded only 47 results, the oldest dated July 27, 2007.
In comparison, a Google Advanced Blog Search conducted moments later and using the same parameters — except that I had to specify “month” as the time frame to approximate the news search — yielded 757 results.
One would think that, with all of the discussions about real estate matters involving Barack Obama and John McCain, members of the news media would be more interested in the news about a dwelling — albeit a hut — occupied by a relative of the presumptive presidential nominees. It is, after all, the second hut belonging to an Obama relative.

Does anyone else think it strange that all of Obama’s relatives, step-relatives, half-relatives, near-relatives, distant relatives, hidden relatives and real good pals in four different countries are all Muslim, but Obama is not, was not, will never be Muslim.
(except when attending a fundraiser sponsored by the American Muslim community, where he will have had best friends who are Muslim, and he will like the food.)

If he can’t even take care of his own family, how can we expect him to protect our country? After all, the primary purpose of the US Government is to protect our Country.

Oh, I forgot…He is incapable of making important decisions. He has NEVER had to make an important decision. Lord knows helping our own families is an important decision, but a no-brainer. If you have excess, you take care of your own. WAKE UP, OBAMA!

you should send this to Fox News, O’Reilly would love to rant about this and i personally would love to hear his rant. maybe the other so called news networks would pay attention then.

Hmmmm…. Interesting…. I thought Obama was for the poor and he didn’t help his own poor family in Africa? What a hypocrite….. There is a rumor that Obama wants to tax us for the poor in the world… I guess that means Obama expects us to support his African family instead of him????

What a bunch of retarded hate filled jibberish by you and the others who commented.

Hey, Clown — I’d call you a “Bozo,” but it appears you’ve already done that for me. By the way, truth does not mean hate.

Having heard recently the many “goofs” made by Sen. Byden(sp?), Obama’s VP choice, and realizing Obama’s inexperience (a little over 100 days in office), and Obama’s naive view of getting his programs passed (what if the House or Senate are Republican?), I fear for our nation with them in the highest positions in our land. And hasn’t one of Obama’s campaign statements been, “I am my brother’s keeper”? If this is truly his attitude, how does this statement square with the condition of his brother, George, living in Kenya, (as reported by the Italian issue of Vanity Fair)? If you haven’t heard about George, go to google.com and type in “George Obama and Hut”. If that was my brother, I would certainly help him live somewhere better than a 6′ by 10′ hut and the violent area in which the hut is located!
