Obama’s Brother to Capture Nation’s Attention
January 16th, 2008 · 7 Comments
Arguably the most colorful presidential sibling of my lifetime, Billy Carter became well known to the American public as Jimmy Carter’s beer-drinking brother. In similar fashion, Roger Clinton gained notoriety as Bill Clinton’s drug-abusing, ex-con brother. Now, another politician’s sibling stands on the verge of capturing the nation’s attention.

Unlike Billy Carter or Roger Clinton, Abongo “Roy” Obama will likely attract attention as First Brother for reasons other than his personal addictions if Barack Hussein Obama wins election in 2008 as the nation’s 44th president.

According to Investor’s Business Daily reports (see here and here), the older half-brother of the upstart Democrat presidential candidate is a militant Muslim activist in Kenya who has urged his younger brother to embrace his African heritage and supports implementation of Sharia law in a country that, until recently, has been regarded as among the most pro-Western and modern African nations.

Paying attention to two critical details reported by IBD, one might surmise that Roy has succeeded in convincing his brother to embrace his African heritage. Those details are as follows:

In 1991, when Obama joined the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, he pledged allegiance to something called the Black Value System, which is a code of non-Biblical ethics written by blacks, for blacks.

and

In short, Obama’s “unashamedly black” church preaches the politics of black nationalism. And its dashiki-wearing preacher — who married Obama and his wife and now acts as his personal spiritual adviser — is militantly Afrocentric. “We are an African people,” the Rev. Jeremiah Wright reminds his flock, “and remain true to our native land, the mother continent.”

While beer drinking and illicit drug use is frowned upon by many, Abongo “Roy” Obama’s vices — the Black Value System, militant Afrocentric views and radical Islamic beliefs — pose far greater dangers to the American way of life. That in mind, I hope all Americans recognize these dangers before they have impact decisions made in the Oval Office.

I subscribe to IBD it’s unfortunate it’s a good resource for investment info but there agenda is pro-republican and pro-business and ultra-conservitive. It’s not a place I would trust getting info other than investment, just take a look at their editorial pages. They still like Bush what does that tell you.

Don’t hate, Obama does not have an elder brother. I know this because I am a 100% Kenyan and know his grandma and all her grandchildren. Keep it real.
