OBAMA LIVES IN A MANSION - CLOSE RELATIVES IN POVERTY

It's not only his brother living on less than ONE DOLLAR a month in a Kenyan slum, his other "dearests" like his aunt Zeituni in a Boston SLUM, who survive as best they can on very little while selfish, uncaring MILLIONAIRE Obama won't chip in even a couple of thousand dollars to prevent his favorite Uncle Omar (REAL family NAME is also Obama) being evicted.

DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE HE CARES ABOUT YOU - ONCE YOU HAVE VOTED FOR HIM? OR THAT HE WILL FIGHT AND SUPPORT YOU? LIKE HE DOES HIS CLOSEST FAMILY? COUNT ON IT. "IT" = ABANDONING YOU LIKE HE DOES HIS FAMILY.

Barack Obama has lived one version of the American Dream that has taken him to the steps of the White House.


But a few miles from where the Democratic presidential candidate studied at Harvard, his Kenyan aunt and uncle, immigrants living in modest circumstances in Boston, have a contrasting American story.

Zeituni Onyango, the aunt so affectionately described in Mr Obama’s best-selling memoir Dreams from My Father, lives in a disabled-access flat on a rundown public housing estate in South Boston.

A second relative believed to be the long-lost “Uncle Omar” described in the book was beaten by armed robbers with a “sawed-off rifle” while working in a corner shop in the Dorchester area of the city.


He was later evicted from his one-bedroom flat for failing to pay $2,324.20 (£1,488) arrears, according to the Boston Housing Court.

The US press has repeatedly rehearsed Mr Obama’s extraordinary odyssey, but the other side of the family’s American experience has only been revealed in parts.


Just across town from where Mr Obama made history as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, some of his closest blood relatives have confronted the harshness of immigrant life in America .
