Barack Obama met with his half-brother in China today.
…For five minutes.
The Telegraph reported:
Mr Obama had the brief meeting with Mark Okoth Obama Ndesandjo, who had the same, late, father as the US President, on Monday evening in Beijing, a White House official said.
Mr Ndesandjo has kept a low public profile since reports surfaced last year that he was living and working in the southern Chinese capitalist and manufacturing haven of Shenzhen.
Obama’s brother Mark runs an illegal firm in China.
The Times Online reported this back in July 2008.
The American media obviously ignored it.
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 brother” and says he was the only uncontested heir after their father, a Kenyan, died in a car crash in 1982.
Friends say he has a long-term Chinese girlfriend in her 20s from Henan, a poor landlocked province that sends millions of migrants to the coastal cities.
He lives in Nanshan, a brash new district of high-rises and streets teeming after dark with young migrants eating spicy street food and cramming into bars, karaoke joints and massage parlours.
“He is big, strong and full of energy, speaks good Chinese and is a really easygoing guy,” said a Chinese friend, “He always wears a hat over his shaven head. I believe he has several consultancy jobs.”
Chinese officials said there are unanswered questions about his internet-based company, Worldnexus Ltd. It has provided corporate communications and website design to Chinese firms seeking customers in English-speaking markets, of which the United States is the biggest.
Worldnexus is not registered to conduct business in Shenzhen and officials at the city’s commercial administration bureau said this raised potential issues of taxation and compliance with the law by its customers.
The company’s Chinese-language website promises “increased communication efficiency” to clients and lists Shenzhen exporters of electronics and machine parts among its contracts.
The website lists an office address in the west of the city but despite a search of the area and checks with local police, no such building could be located.

Obama comes from a strange background, to be sure.

Pay attention to how obama treats his own family. Do any of you expect him to treat non-relatives any better?

Have you heard any thing about why C. Snowe left the meeting very upset? I was busy and caught the ending of one of their news briefs. What meeting was she in?
I can’t understand when the news about the Ford Hood murderer being part of Barry’s transition team! I saw a picture of him sitting in a front roll seat and his name was on the list of names. NOT A GUEST LIST.

Could it be why the White House has stopped Congress from meeting?

How many brothers does this clown have?

What are you talking about Ginger?
November 18th, 2009 | 9:46 am | #7
Face it, Obama could run into his kin practically anywhere.
Ginger, are you speaking of the Dems shutting down the House 2 days ago because the Republicans wanted to speak on the floor (and be documentred via C-SPAN)?

That is five minutes more than any political prisoners in China got out of him.

How did Obama’s meeting go with his General regarding the Afghanistan troop decisions? I know it’s been reported that Obama’s had over 20 meetings with the SEIU chief. Seems like he has a lot of free time for all these meetings…

Oh for the love of God. I’m not a fan of Obambi, either, but it’s a half brother! Stop making a mountain out of a molehill.
I know some people that have never even met their half brother and they live within an hour’s drive of each other. If the parents truly separate, the kids would likely never meet unless they instigate an encounter.

Obama needs a Relative Czar.

Just checked the website. At the bottom, in English, it says the business is licensed under a different name.

They don’t have any brotherly physical resemblance, either.
Apart from the features, this guy is small, closer to the height of the Kenyan Obama, Sr. Though, the media isn’t showing much of that.
And, charmingly, he has made efforts to improve himself in aquiring foreign languages, unlike Barack who just harangues everyone even tho’ he couldn’t be bothered to apply himself to serious language study in all his years of higher education, not even “papa’s” Kenyan Swahili which only has four irregular verbs in the whole language, a world’s record, much easier than say, English or French for comparison.

Can the Obamas be any more Jerry Springer-ish?
Wow…just wow.

Obama doesn’t seem to have any natural affection for his own flesh and blood – even if they are only related through their father.
It seems Obama’s father, who is claimed to not have been a practicing Muslim, had a few wives and numerous offspring to boot. It is always best to look at the actions of a person, rather than what bull the world is trying to feed you about them. If Obama Sr. walked liked a duck, he is a duck.

Why does the brother have a different last name if his mother was married to Obama, Sr?

Don’t try to figure it out. It will give you a headache.
BTW – OBAMA IS TANKING -14

So, you also have to be a tax-evader to be Obie’s half brother. I think I’ll stop paying my taxes so that I can become close to Obie WON kanobie.
What a freaking looser. Whoops, there goes my cushy job in the Obie White House.

Obama sure is not much of a family man; but on the other hand, we should be glad that so far he also has not been much of a nepotist.
November 18th, 2009 | 7:29 pm | #24
Maybe we should have voted for Mark as President, he seems to have a better background in the business sector.
That Obama (the bow master) sure has some strange relatives, an illegal alien aunt, a shady brother in africa and now another brother in china running an unlicensed business.
His brother should be honored that he got to spend 5 minutes with the annointed one.

0bama:
Mark, you’ve aged horribly.You look terrible! Your wrinkles are as big as the Grand Canyon.Your head band doesn’t cover your hair loss.
Well, it looks like my time is up and I have to go. GQ has named me ‘Lipstick Leader of the Year.’ Loreal’s Soft Pig Pink is what I use. By the way, try some of Michelle’s lipstick. It can even make a pig look good. Please, don’t come to the White House.
My limousine is running and I have to make more Apologies on America’s capitalist cowboy ways. Good day.
