Obama's brother busted for pot PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 31 January 2009 17:57

After being busted and jailed for marijuana possession and resisting arrest in Nairobi, Kenya on Jan. 31, charges were quickly dropped against Barack Obama's half-brother George. "They took me from my home," he said. "I don't know why."

Police say Obama was rounded up with others who had marijuana. George Obama"Being found with people who are in possession of cannabis is a petty offense," an official stated.

Possession of any quantity of marijuana in Kenya can carry a life sentence, and those accused are denied bail.

George is Barack Obama's half-brother. He lives in the Huruma slum area of Kenya's capitol. Their father, Barack Obama Sr., died in a car accident six months after George was born in 1982. George's mother is Jael Otieno.

George barely knows Barack and did not attend the inauguration. Obama has called meeting George a "painful affair."

It has been reported that George makes one dollar a day.

"I was brought up well," he's said. "I live well even now. The magazines have exaggerated everything. I kind of like it here. There are some challenges, but maybe it is just like where you come from, there are the same challenges."

Pres. Obama has yet to comment on his brother's arrest. It's not known if the State Department intervened in George Obama's behalf.

This may not seem a big deal to most, least of all this board, but if you watch the headlines, you'll see that this guy also was refused entry at Heathrow customs in London, due to concerns that he had illicit relations with a 13 thats THIRTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL!! What does that tell you about him??

Here's the thing, Preident Obama(who i voted 4) inhaled frequently but was never CAUGHT. If Barack Obama ever got arrested for simple possesion in his 20's we might not have our current (stellar) President.

Perhaps President Obama will realize that Geroge looks just like 89% of those arrested for simple possesion in New York City. Except all thousands of young black men in NYC feel the full sting of Prohibition, no get out of jail free card.

just get over it. everyone. alcohol ruins lives everyday. it makes people angry and aggressive. that should be illegal. not marijuana. thats what people should be outraged about. Obama should get this country back on top (financially and economically) and then chill everyone out with a joint. george can roll it. ppl just need to relax.
