Barack Obama’s brother pushes Chinese imports on US

Michael Sheridan Shenzhen, China

BARACK Obama’s half-brother has been helping to promote cheap Chinese exports in a low-profile business career while the Democratic senator has been winning worldwide fame in his race for the White House.

He has gone to extraordinary lengths to avoid public attention and his family links remain unknown to most of his acquaintances in Shenzhen, a border boomtown in southern China where he has lived since 2002.

Mark Ndesandjo is the son of Barack Obama’s late father and his third wife, an American woman named Ruth Nidesand who runs the up-market Maduri kindergarten in Nairobi.

Obama, however, refers to him simply as “my brotherâ€

This is very scary. Are we going to be treated to another errant brother like Jimmy Carter's beer drinking Billy, but this time with an international flair. But it seems that whatever kids (or at least two of the kids fathered by BO Sr.) are smart. I would love to see what the other kids sharing the dad with Obama are up to.
