Half Brother WILL be covered up by CNN

They are reporting that Obama has a half brother who lives in poverty.

Vanity Fair (I found this to be an odd organization to have found this) has uncovered Obama's seventh half-bother, George (age 26) who is living in Kenya in absolute poverty. He reportedly said that he lives on about a dollar a month!  When they found him they say he was living in a shanty.

Now, I guess this is true - it is not like they are going to say "Oh he is not really an Obama," but apparently the media is going to do their part to ensure Obama doesn't look too bad on this.

It was announced on CNN that today they would have an exclusive interview with the brother. They say he is going to be saying he is NOT poor and has a lovely life. Does Vanity Fair really seem like the kind of outlet that was going to lie about the guy's living situation? It just seems to me that CNN has, once again, proved that they are really in the bag for Obama.

My thoughts are quite simple here - this is a bad thing for Obama. He can't say he isn't connected to his Kenya half family; heck, one of his half brothers was at his wedding. I guess Obama just picks the well off ones (that brother is an accountant). Don't you think that if you were a successful anything (lawyer, doctor, senator, businessperson, etc) and you had family in Kenya who were not doing well, YOU WOULD BE TRYING TO HELP? I find that to be the problem here. This is not an Obama issue, this is a basic human nature issue. You help those who are in need. I guess Obama only does this if they look good on camera.

This is not me being partisan - this is me finding one person's actions POTENTIALLY sickening.
