Barack Obama's brother lives on $1 per day

Democratic US Presidential candidate Barrack Obama has a forgotten brother in Africa, whose family is at the edge of existence, earning less than $1 per day.

George Husein Owango Obama, who lives outside the media spotlight, recently decided to speak about his relationship with Barack Obama. In his interview for "Vanity Fair" he spoke about his life, however avoided giving responses to direct questions to describe his brother.

"We live here with less than a dollar per day" said George, who lives in the periphery of Nairobi (Kenya). Up until now the US Press managed to track down seven of Obama's brothers, the only one missing was George.

"I met Barack briefly, two years ago. We talked, but he was somehow strange, as if I didn't speak to a brother." added George Obama.
