Who is Obama’s Brother’s Keeper?

It’s that fundamental belief — I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sister’s keeper — that makes this country work. It’s what allows us to pursue our individual dreams, yet still come together as a single American family.

Those words were spoken by Barack Obama as he accepted the nomination for President from the Democratic National Convention.

He also said something similar at the Saddleback Forum in August.

I think America’s greatest moral failure in my lifetime has been that we … still don’t abide by that … basic precept in Matthew that: ‘whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me.’ And that notion of — that basic principle applies to poverty. It applies to racism and sexism. It applies to, you know, not … thinking about providing ladders of opportunity for people to get into the middle class.

I mean, there’s a pervasive sense, I think, that this country, as wealthy and powerful as we are, still don’t spend enough time thinking about the least of these.

His aunt, uncle and brother surely qualify under that premise as “the least of us” but what has Barack Obama done to help them?  Has he followed the “basic precept in Matthew that whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me,” or is it just talk?  Is he really his “brother’s keeper” or is he expecting to take the income earned by the hard work of the American taxpayer, and spread the wealth around?  If he is not willing to do it with his own money, why should he do it with ours?

Barack Obama last met his Kenyan half-brother, George Hussein Onyango Obama, in 2006.  George Obama said, “It was very brief, we spoke for just a few minutes. It was like meeting a complete stranger.”  George lives “in a hut in a ramshackle town of Huruma on the outskirts of Nairobi.”  George tells reporters of his difficult life in Kenya:

“Huruma is a tough place, last January during the elections there was rioting and six people were hacked to death. The police don’t even arrest you they just shoot you.

“I have seen two of my friends killed. I have scars from defending myself with my fists. I am good with my fists.”

If Obama is his “brother’s keeper,” what has he done to help his brother George?  The man lives in a tiny hut in a violent town on less than a dollar a month.  Instead of offering him a hand up as a multi-millionaire brother should do, Barack Obama only met with him for a few minutes and went on his way.  Barack Obama didn’t mind using his brother in his books to further his own wealth, but he doesn’t seem to care much about returning the favor or helping his brother out.

And George isn’t the only proof that Barack Obama has failed in his “fundamental belief” of being his brother’s keeper.  Barack Obama’s aunt and uncle have also recently been found, in the United States instead of Kenya, yet Obama clearly hasn’t bothered to help them either.  Obama talks about his aunt glowingly in his book, but is he really acting as if he believes he is his “brother’s keeper”?

Zeituni Onyango, the aunt so affectionately described in Mr Obama’s best-selling memoir Dreams from My Father, lives in a disabled-access flat on a rundown public housing estate in South Boston.

A second relative believed to be the long-lost “Uncle Omar” described in the book was beaten by armed robbers with a “sawed-off rifle” while working in a corner shop in the Dorchester area of the city. He was later evicted from his one-bedroom flat for failing to pay $2,324.20 (£1,488) arrears, according to the Boston Housing Court.

The US press has repeatedly rehearsed Mr Obama’s extraordinary odyssey, but the other side of the family’s American experience has only been revealed in parts. Just across town from where Mr Obama made history as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, some of his closest blood relatives have confronted the harshness of immigrant life in America.

His aunt and uncle are two other close relatives who Obama didn’t mind using to craft his book, but hasn’t bothered to care for them even as his own success mounts.  Is he really his brother’s keeper?  If so, maybe we should all worry about an Obama Presidency… with his tax policies and “economic justice” we will all end up just like his brother, aunt or uncle.

Once again a pattern of Barack Obama’s character is becoming readily apparent.  He has a pattern of associating with America-hating radicals (Ayers, Dohrn, Wright, Phleger, Khaldi), yet we are supposed to believe he doesn’t hold their views.  He has a pattern of voting to raise taxes on the middle class, yet we are supposed to believe he won’t.  He has a history of supporting and speaking about socialist ideas and praising Marxists and Communists, yet we are supposed to believe he is not a socialist.  He has a history of suppressing questioners and dissenting voices, yet we are supposed to believe he supports free speech.  He has a pattern of failing to answer questions and lying about his record, yet we are supposed to believe he will tell us the truth.  He has a pattern of supporting late term abortions and infanticide, yet we are supposed to believe he values life.  And he has a pattern of ignoring and neglecting his own family members in need, yet we are supposed to believe he is his “brother’s keeper” and will take care of the “American Family”.

If actions speak louder than words, Obama’s actions scream volumes.  This man is a hypocrite and a fraud, and should not be elected President.

If Obama’s treatment of his aunt, uncle and brother are any indication, we cannot afford for Obama to be our brother or keeper and we certainly cannot afford for Barack Obama to become our President.
