Home : Barack Obama : Obama's Brother -- Gone to Pot

Obama's Brother -- Gone to Pot

Posted Jan 31st 2009 9:33AM by TMZ Staff

Obama's Brother The half brother of President Barack Obama has been busted for possession of marijuana ... in Kenya, and the circumstances sound weird.

Cops busted George Obama Saturday at his home. We don't know why cops went there in the first place, but he was taken into custody for marijuana possession and resisting arrest.

George -- who shares the same father with the Prez -- told CNN, "They took me from my home ... I don't know why they are charging me."

He had a grand total of one joint on him.

Barack and George have met, but barely know each other.

5. Hey TMZ, how about talking about this terrific stimulus package that my children and their children will be paying for til 2100. This story is boring and so is the "Chosen One"

6. The "half-brother", "half-sister" phrase is so ignorant. It's either your brother/sister or not. The same goes for adopted brother/sister...that always sounds so stupid.

8. gee, can you spell neo-con ? obviously the republican losers are looking to slam obama any way they can . . . thanks for running this, TMZ, tho from the previous comments, the info appears to go over the heads of your average readers.

11. From the look of his eyes, one joint is probably all he had left.

12. I agree with #4 about the Chosen One who I can't stand! He's known about his brother for all these years letting him live
in a slum and not sending him even $10.00 for food, etc. That says alot about the character of our president along with
the shady people in his life who are crooks and anti-american idiots. Thank God Obama had the brains to pick Hillary
to deal with foreign affairs, etc. since he has no idea of what he's doing. As for his brother, he could probably care less
if he's eating. Didn't vote for him and never will....he is just a man who got lucky to win this election.....or not!

13. Well why is anyone surprised about the low quantiy leading to this arrest. They are Muslims and this in some of their country's can lead to a death sentence. In the Muslim world in which the Anointed One Barak is from, his brother, like him, are considered just 2 more low lifes

14. Marijuana is illegal in Kenya? I thought they ate that stuff for lunch over there.

15. Why isn't Barack's brother a US citizen? I know his mother didn't raise him but I wasn't aware she was a globe trodder.
