Every President has to have a (half-) brother who is a total embarassment.
Well, damn. Does this mean that Jeb Bush really should have been president from '01 to '09?
Well, yes, I suppose we need the comic relief of an idiot half-brother… especially when said half-brother is in a completely different country, didn’t know anything about Barack until a few years ago, and is living in an area well-known for its forthright and fair legal system.
Seriously, “tracking him down,” calling his neighborhood a “slum” and his house a “shack,” and revealing to the world that he makes less than a dollar a day when the only reason to single him out is a biological relationship that meant nothing to him until the media came knocking simply wasn’t enough? He didn’t come to the inauguration, he doesn’t seem motivated to ride on his half-brother’s coattails, I say leave the guy alone.
Unless, of course, the result of the media keeping an eye on the story is that he gets a shot at a fair trial. Then they can feel free to be useful.
I’m not seeing the connection between a charge of marijuana possession and being a total embarassment of a person.
Especially if the following is true:
Politically embarassing? Maybe. A total embarassment? Far from it.
I will totally buy that, Potato.
He met him once so I guess that makes Barack responsible for him.
Does this mean we get to look forward to Obama Beer? George Juice?
The arrest is probably a shake-down for more US money.
Obama smoked pot at his age too.
Bush didn’t. He was the brother who was the embarrassment.
>Obama smoked pot at his age too.
Yes, and he inhaled, and explains that “that was the point”. Maybe his whole family gets it. Well, I say it’s a breath of fresh air!
Wow, I still love the guy.
Say, this is straying off course, but Lewinski didn’t swallow, either, did she? I guess that whole thing was a kind of a trend, wasn’t it?
Really? I would be proud of a brother who defended this country for eight years; from a position of integrity, as opposed to a poll watching position.
So would I. When did this happen?
“total embarassment” is a little too harsh a description, IMO. It’s just weed.
