Birstol Palin

five months pregant tells me she's been getting busy for a while 17 try 16 teen and who,s the father. the mother is to busy working to care about what her kids are doing latch key kids are home alone with their boy friends, this kid can't be the father.

Please give me the REAL ISSUES

How offensive to call the way another country lives a shack. I call the massive homes of American just wasteful. This shows the lack of cultural senstivity and awareness of America. Not every country strives to be massive hoarders of meanless stuff.

Lets discuss the fruits of our need to consume in the biggest possible way. Lets discuss the issues high cost of health care, high employment rate.

Re-Obama's Brother

Whoever has the website or whatever it is called propagating all this rubbish, really needs to have his/her head checked out.

Why don't you just look for something more benefitting to do, huh? Or you are just waiting to hear the Rep promising to give you money to go ahead so as to dent this good man's (Barrack Obama) image? God will not let you.

You all will be ashamed at the end of this presidential race when God in His infinite mercies will exonerate His chosen one, Barrack Obama.

Racist Republican tactics

This is nothing but a cynical attempt by racist, right wing Republicans to remind people that *gasp* Barack Obama is a black man! Sen. Obama has absolutely no obligation whatsoever to this person. I can imagine that if he became involved with his HALF brother (whom he's met at most twice in his life) that it would significantly complicate both his and his family's life. I don't blame Obama one bit for not getting involved. He did not bring this man into the world, he does not know him and he does not owe him anything. Obama will help millions of his fellow Americans with his policies when he is elected President and that is far more important than being the caretaker for a single, virtual stranger who lives thousands of miles away.

HALF-brother, after father abandoned him

This isn't the brother he grew up with, its his half-brother he barely knew existed when his father abandoned his mother. Yeah, now that Obama's a millionaire maybe he could send an extra $12 a year, IF the brother asked for it. But first perhaps Cindy McCain should be asked to share some of her vast fortune wih her half-sister (or were there a couple half-sisters?).

Obams's White Grandmother

How come we dont hear or see Obamas white grandmother/

Are they hiding her?

obama's brother

How come after 2 years we haven't heard one word about him. I didn't know he had a brother.

Can you imagine if this was Sarah's brother? It would be splattered all over the news.

What rubbish....

Sigh .. the usual save the poor African angle.

This has already been refuted. BO"s brother was well educated and supports himself just fine

"In an August 20 article, the British newspaper The Telegraph reported that the Italian edition of Vanity Fair quoted Sen. Barack Obama's half brother George Obama as saying, "No one knows who I am...I live here [near Nairobi] on less than a dollar a month." Several conservative media figures have recently called attention to the reported quote and suggested Barack Obama is neglecting his half brother. However, these media figures, including Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Wes Pruden, and Steve Doocy, have all disregarded subsequent reports, including one in the British newspaper the Times, which quoted George Obama saying: "They say I live on a dollar a month, but this is all lies by people who don't want my brother to win." Further, George Obama said on the August 22 edition of CNN's The Situation Room: "I was brought up well. I live well even now. The magazines, they exaggerated everything." Qouted from http://mediamatters.org/items/200808260023

We don"t all live in huts waiting for hand outs. Really the MSM should focus on the issues not BO"s personal life.

BTW Africa is a continent, he should be refering to Kenya the country ... I giive up.

Overwhelming Reaction from Obama Supporters

Wow!

The number of responses this article has received from Obama supporters is evidence that Mr. Anderson has done something that has frightened the Obama masses; he has removed another strand from the veil of deception that has shielded Obamas' face from Americans for quite some time and given everyone a chance to look him straignt in the eye.

Obama supporters are, obviously, very nervous about that, which I think is just fine.
