Obama's Half-Brother 'Floored' About President's Lying About Meeting Him
[NATIONALREVIEW] Mark Obama Ndesandjo said he was surprised to hear his half-brother President Barack Obama
If you have a small business, you didn't build that...
say they had only recently met for the first time.

"I was floored by it -- I don't know why he said it," Ndesandjo said to Laura Ingraham, adding that he had met the president several times over the years and still isn't sure what his motivation was for making the claim. "I think he was being president and was not being my brother," Ndesandjo said.

From their first meeting, which took place in the 1980s in Kenya, where he lived as an American ex-pat, Ndesandjo​ said both he and the president had different views: Ndesandjo was trying to distance himself from his father and his father's name, while Obama was looking to further embrace his father's roots.

When Ingraham pointed out that Obama doesn't spend very much time with his extended family and seems to prefer the company of celebrities such as Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Ndesandjo said she "had a point." Ndesandjo, who has a book coming out in February, said ultimately that he isn't very political and tends to focus on "the art side."

Don't take it personal Mark. It could be some sort of chemical imbalance.

#2  Many siblings have conflicting memories, but hardly ever involving the first time they met.

#3  Obama lies frequently, on large and small items of import. A family history that is written and rewritten at will. When documentation doesn't exist or is hidden, there's nothing to tie him down.

Remember the outrage at the lipped "you lie" at the SOTU? It was an understatement.

#6  Mark Obama Ndesandjo must not know his brother very well. The rest of the world has already experienced Obama's serial Pinocchio syndrome problem.
