Isn’t it funny how Barack Obama wants to take YOUR taxdollars to help ‘needy’ folks, as stated in Senate Bill 2433, the Global Poverty Act of 2007 that he sponsored, which purpose is:

To require the President to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day.

Yet Obama hasn’t done a damn thing to help his own brother.

From The Telegraph:

Mr Obama, 26, the youngest of the presidential candidate’s half-brothers, spoke for the first time about his life, which could not be more different than that of the Democratic contender.

“No-one knows who I am,” he told the magazine, before claiming: “I live here on less than a dollar a month.”

…

“If anyone says something about my surname, I say we are not related. I am ashamed,” he said.

For ten years George Obama lived rough. However he now hopes to try to sort his life out by starting a course at a local technical college.

He has only met his famous older brother twice - once when he was just five and the last time in 2006 when Senator Obama was on a tour of East Africa and visited Nairobi.

The Illinois senator mentions his brother in his autobiography, describing him in just one passing paragraph as a “beautiful boy with a rounded head”.

Of their second meeting, George Obama said: “It was very brief, we spoke for just a few minutes. It was like meeting a complete stranger.”

Hope and change, eh?  Yeah, on your dime, even though Barack Obama earned millions last year.  The millionaire can’t seem to be bothered to give his own brother any ‘change,’ but he expects you to do it?  Sounds like a typical socialist to me.
