Texas GOP Hits Obama for Ignoring Impoverished Half-Brother

This is a little late, but I didn't even know about these ads (I live in San Francisco, McCain didn't campaign here). The thing is that I doubt George would accept any help from Barry. He seems to dislike Barack, and even if he didn't I doubt he'd want to depend on his half-brothers charity. Barack Obama had another half-brother in Kenya and they seem to have a pretty good relationship; they were best man at each other's weddings.

Why not discuss Obama reasons for not leading his own family out of poverty? Changing issue to Cindy McCain sounds like a diversion we need to stay on point. She is not in the race for president of the USA. A great world leader must be able to lead his family, especially out of dire poverty and then figure out how to lead the free world. It's a excellent question that is perplexing many people.

Don't feel sorry for George....when
OHB is elected he will take care of him.
The Lincoln bedroom is available.

So yucky.

Republicans are shameless. How can they justify Cindy McCain selfishness? Her sisters are real, and live in America. She denies them, and takes all his father's fortune for herself alone, while they are almost starving. And that wasn't enough for her, she denies their own existence: "I am the unique child".
Obama might not have known he's got that brother, since he was himself abandoned by that same father.
If Republicans had a little scruple, they should omit that story. At least they are so sure of the stupidity of the American people, I don't see how they try so hard to manipulate us this way.

Mary Anne: You are so right and I am one of them that didn't get over it. I am a staunch Hillary supporter and hope that all her supporters wake up to the fact and vote for her on that ballot. There is suppose to be many woman superdelegates and they can do it for her. Years ago there was a backlash at he democratic convention where the nominee lost after the votes were in. I wish that could happen here so we can send Obama back to the senate. What a surprise that would be for the DNC. I'm not saying it will happen, I am saying its possible it could happen.

McCain is "living the American dream" by having 7-11 houses?!?!

I always thought of the American dream as living in freedom and peace, and being okay if you were willing to work hard - not having to worry about losing the roof over your head because of 'the people at the top'. Middle class, not upper class. This is exactly the 'wrong track' people are talking about.

I believe that both Obama and Biden are men of high morals regardless of what we think about their past events. And they are both devoted to their wives and children. But that does not mean that we do not have differences of opinion regarding who we would vote for. I thought that Obama would choose Hillary as his VP and since that didn't happen I am forced to write her name in or vote McCain. I am a democrat but have voted republican before if I don't like the choices that the democrats make. Obama is well aware of the fact that Nancy Pelosi demanded the superdelegates vote immediately and vote for Obama so Hillary could not become president. Everyone knows that she is more experienced in politics and foreign policy but got cheated on the MI and FL delegates. Now they want them to be seated because Obama is the nominee. I am hoping the republicans take over the house so we can rid ourselves of Nancy Pelosi.

You McCain supporters are so afraid of any kind of change, even as the GOP flushes our country down the toilet.

Even if McCain is some great candidate, your refusal to look at Cindy's extended family issues strikes me as the behavior of lemmings.

Please, for love of God, NO MORE REPUBLICANS. They have had their chance. Thirty YEARS to be exact. Hating Liberals and worrying about social issues won't feed your kids, give you a job market, educate a single person or give one soul health care. Even if you hate Obama, you must admit that the current way isn't working!

Mbulawa: Obama's father's first name was Hussein and that's why Obama was given the middle name of Hussein. I read their BIO in the NYT so I know the story. And for the record Obama's father may be black but Obama will never be black or white because he is Mulatto the offspring of a black father and white mother. Jessie Jackson would have been the first black president if elected. Obama will not. This name is also in the dictionary and on the internet and I knew that since I was young. The media don't want to call him that or the black people resent that name but that's what he is and it stands that way. I would not hesitate to tell him that myself if I had the chance.

George Onyango Obama has no Hussein in his documents. He has always been George Onyango Obama. You lot use the name Hussein to be spiteful. As black Africans we are not born into religions or denominations like caucasians and asiatics. We are liberals.... it is normal for an African family to consist of non-believers, catholics, protestants etc.

JA, NoObama08, toddo, and Debra I really do not have all the info like you guys do so yeah excuse me if I hold judgment. I guess as the GOP calls it the mean Obama is letting his family starve. A brother is not someone you see twice in your lifetime. A brother is that person you grew up with even if by blood you are not related. I wonder how many of us have family that is distant but is living in bad conditions.

I wonder how many of us have the means to support them but will not for whatever reason. In our cases I bet the family is not thousands of miles away. It is easy to point fingers but some of us would fall short of our own judgment.

For all you Hillary supporters switching to McCain I really do not want to hear you guys complaining when Roe gets overturned, women's pay goes down, gay rights are all but a thing of the past, your pay drops to new lows, health care costs rise without end, gas prices make new highs, we get caught in wars without end all over the world, and when our world standing falls to zero, I want you guys to look in the mirror and say I let my soar grapes put the country in this state. I do not want to hear one bad thing about McCain since you found it so necessary to punish Obama for some perceived slight against Hillary.

When we are 2 or 3 years into the McCain White house I do not want to hear former Hillary now McCain supporters complaining that women have lost jobs, pay, and rights. I just do not want to hear the bitching and complaining about how bad McCain is. You are trying to get back at Obama with lies, tricks, and half truths and you shall reap the consequences if McSame gets in office.

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Let's see the attack ad with Cindy McCain's half siblings waxing nostaligic about how much she has helped them since their father dies...NOT!

I am not surprised at the little hypocrite Obama. He likes to bash everyone for everything but no one is supposed to put him under a microscope. I hope that he comes to feel the same way he made Hillary Clinton feel and her husband when he kept insulting them. I can't wait!!! It will be so wonderful to see his defeated face on TV! OBAMA, THE WOMEN DIDN'T GET OVER IT!!

Hey Viet Nam Vets Against McCain -
He was even worse than in the bottom tenth. McCain graduated 894th of 899, which put him in the bottom ONE percent.

Claiming to have been in the bottom 25th percent, while technically true, is putting lipstick on one ugly pig.

His hut living brother is a 'distraction'.

Just like Michelle's anti-American comments, terrorist Ayers, slumlord Rezko, anti-white Rev Wright.

I want to know who selected you to police this issue. Cindy McCain insists she is the only child. Doesn't she have 2 siblings, one on her mothers side and one on her fathers side. However, she doesn't own up to this.

This is a typical case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Ah...the mccain family traditions...

“By the way, that's a McCain tradition,” he said. “My father and grandfather, both four-star admirals, and they graduated in the bottom fourth of their class, too."

And he's proud of this??? Looks like he earned every bit of his 894th ranking. Lord help us! Another silver spoon underachieving flyboy.

MrCoffee Finishing in the bottom forth of a class would mean you would finish 75-100 out of 100. In John McCains case to finish in the bottom tenth of his class means you would finish 90-100 out of 100. 15 points difference, can make a big difference.
