"He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother!"

Conservative talk radio is all abuzz about Barack Obama's half-brother in Africa. The media has discovered the half-brother, living in unimaginable sqauller on an income of less than one dollar per month. Questions are being raised about why Barack is not helping his half-brother. Barack writes in one of his books about seeing his brother when he was about five, and he has seen him again in recent years. Barack is portraying himself as compassionate about the less fortunate, and declares himself to be a "citizen of the world." He reported earnings of over four million dollars last year. Could he not do something to help his own brother, or is he just compassionate with our money?

Again, I doubt this is going to upset people in America. Most likely we all have relatives that we'd rather not know that much about.

He is never compassionate when it's with his own money.
