Obama's half brother, Samson Obama, was turned away for a visa in the U.K. in January of this year, because he was pulled up on a biometric database as having caused trouble in November of 2008. He had tried to sexually attack some young girls, the youngest being only 13. While the attack was reported, he was never charged. He was stopped at the East Midlands Airport, but still managed to get on a connecting flight at another airport, and went to his half brother's inaugeration ceremony. Makes me think maybe he had a letter from Barack to ease his way past security. Ain't it great to be related to the POTUS?
BTW, I got this story, two in fact, from British online newspapers. Our mainstream media does a terrible job of reporting news anymore.

We'll have to get our news from foreign sources if we want some balance. The UK does a good job of it. Our media will rarely report anything that could throw a bad light on the "golden child". In fact, I've been trying to find an article from the telegraph calling him a surrender monkey for his stance on this pirate situation but I can't. I heard about it on the Jim Sumpter show. You'd like that guy, he's a regular part of my day.
