Obama's auntie was able to sneak into the U.S.and live in public housing, a SSA stipend and food stamps, why doesn't the U.K. cut the brutha a break too?

Obama brother refused entry to UK
Barack Obama's half-brother was denied entry to the UK after being accused of a serious crime on an earlier visit, the Home Office has confirmed.

Samson Obama, who lives in Kenya, was on his way to the US presidential inauguration in January when he was stopped at East Midlands Airport.

According to the News of the World, fingerprint tests linked him to an alleged sex attack on a British girl.

He was questioned but not charged over the incident in Berkshire, it added.

'Public good'

A Home Office spokesman said Samson Obama was denied a visa after immigration officers noticed one of his documents was false. That led them to further inquiries.

Samson Obama, who runs a mobile phone shop outside Nairobi, had been planning to make a short break in the UK on his way to Washington.

He eventually took a connecting flight to the US without formally entering the UK.

A UK Border Agency spokesman said in general, Britain would oppose the entry of individuals where their presence was "not conducive to the public good".

Samson Obama is one of several half-siblings of the US president.

Barack Obama Sr left his son when he was two years old and lived most of his life in Kenya, where he fathered a number of other sons and a daughter with three other wives. He died in a car crash in 1982.

In that case I credit Obama for getting ahead without the aid of his family ties - so, so unlike the Bushes.

His aunt does not have a criminal conviction, unlike his half brother. Rolling Eyes

The brother does not have a conviction, only an accusation.

So the brother of the president of the US is an accused sex offender, another one won a Senate primary in South Carolina. Is this becoming the new 'in' thing?

Like the question posed at a recent University of Chicago conference, Are sex offenders the new qu**rs?

Obama squeaked ahead because of a couple of accidents of fate. Were he not a negro and had not the American sheeple been guilt-tripped into jumping onto that particular bandwagon, he would certainly not be where he is now.

"Sex attack" has become virtually synonymous with "drunken one night stand"

Amazingly, I agree with you here once again. Frankly, America was still not ready to elect a black man as president, although I would say even more than guilt-tripped, they were manipulated into it.

Ridiculous. I would say he got elected despite his race, rather than because of it. The number one reason he got elected, look at the other side. John McCain and Palin didn't exactly run the greatest campaign, not to mention the damage Bush did. Obama ran a great campaign and he wasn't republican. Manipulated into it? Couldn't that be said for every single successful politician?

Just about. Glad to see you are getting the idea.

I don't know if I agree or not, but I doubt there will be another one for quite some time after the Obama nightmare is over in 2012

"America was still not ready to elect a black man as president"

Still not.

Another one? Bill Clinton was the closest to a black man as I've seen in office. There will never be a black man in office. Ever.
