Barack Obama's Half Brother Discovered in Hut in Kenya
Wednesday August 20, 2008
![]() David Fisher / Rex USA; Vanity Fair, Italy Barack Obama's youngest half brother has been living in a shanty town on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya, the Italian edition of Vanity Fair reports. "No-one knows who I am," George Hussein Onyango Obama, 26, told the magazine. "I live here on less than a dollar a month." George's shack – which measures only 6 feet by 10 feet – features football posters and a photograph of the Democratic presidential hopeful from a newspaper. "I live like a recluse, no-one knows I exist," said George, who has the same father as the Illinois senator. "If anyone says something about my surname, I say we are not related," he added. "I am ashamed," he said of the way he lives. George, who recently enrolled in a local technical college, has met Obama twice: when he was 5-years-old and in 2006 when the senator visited Nairobi. "It was very brief, we spoke for just a few minutes," George recalled of the 2006 encounter. "It was like meeting a complete stranger." In his autobiography, Obama described George as a "beautiful boy with a rounded head." See photos of Barack Obama's biggest celebrity supporters. On Monday, NPR News aired an interview with the half sister of John McCain's wife Cindy, who is "upset" and "angry" that the potential first lady describes herself as an "only child." Kathleen Hensley Portalski told NPR: "It makes me feel like a non-person, kind of." Join Us on Facebook and Twitter for even more up to the minute celebrity news and photos!
