D’Souza Pays Obama’s Brother’s Medical Bills After President Refuses…
A few days ago I received a call from a man I recently met named
George. He was a bit flustered, and soon informed me that his young son
was sick with a chest condition. He pleaded with me to send him $1,000 to
cover the medical bills. Since George was at the hospital I asked him to
let me speak to a nurse, and she confirmed that George’s son was indeed ill.
So I agreed to send George the money through Western Union. He was
profusely grateful. But before I hung up I asked George, “Why are you coming
to me?” He said, “I have no one else to ask.” Then he said something
that astounded me, “Dinesh, you are like a brother to me.”
Actually, George has a real life brother who just happens to be
the president of the United States. (George Obama is the youngest of
eight children sired by Barack Obama Sr.) George’s brother is a
multimillionaire and the most powerful man in the world. Moreover, George’s
brother has framed his re-election campaign around the “fair share” theme that
we owe obligations to those who are less fortunate.
One of Obama’s favorite phrases comes right out of the Bible: “We
are our brother’s keeper.” Yet he has not contributed a penny to help his
own brother. And evidently George does not believe, even in times of emergency,
that he can turn to his brother in the White House for help.
So much for spreading the wealth around.
Obama’s refusal to help George is especially surprising because
George doesn’t just live in American-style poverty but rather in Third World
poverty. He lives in a shanty in the Huruma slum in Nairobi. He
gets by on a few dollars a month. Obama also has an aunt named Hawa Auma,
his father’s sister, who ekes out a living selling coal on the streets of a
small village in Kenya. She says she would like to have her teeth fixed,
but she cannot afford it. Obama hasn’t offered to help her either.
What’s going on here? Why is President Obama so hesitant to
help family members in need?
A couple of years ago, George teamed up with a British journalist
Damien Lewis and the two of them published George’s story in a book called “Homeland.”
Yet according to Lewis, shortly before the book’s publication in America, the
publisher Simon & Schuster decided to shred the entire print run, more than
20,000 copies. Lewis tried unsuccessfully to get an explanation from
Simon & Schuster but to no avail. He now suspects that the White
House convinced Simon & Schuster that George’s story might prove
embarrassing to the president.
