How I became George Obama's 'brother'

A few days ago I received a call from a man I recently met named
George. He was a bit flustered, and soon informed me that his young
son was sick with a chest condition. He pleaded with me to send him
$1,000 to cover the medical bills. Since George was at the hospital I
asked him to let me speak to a nurse, and she confirmed that George’s
son was indeed ill. So I agreed to send George the money through
Western Union. He was profusely grateful. But before I hung up I asked
George, “Why are you coming to me?” He said, “I have no one else to
ask.” Then he said something that astounded me, “Dinesh, you are like a
brother to me.”
Actually, George has a real life brother who just happens to be the
president of the United States. (George Obama is the youngest of eight
children sired by Barack Obama Sr.) George’s brother is a
multimillionaire and the most powerful man in the world. Moreover,
George’s brother has framed his re-election campaign around the “fair
share” theme that we owe obligations to those who are less fortunate.
One of Obama’s favorite phrases comes right out of the Bible: “We are
our brother’s keeper.”
Yet he has not contributed a penny to help his
own brother. And evidently George does not believe, even in times of
emergency, that he can turn to his brother in the White House for help.
So much for spreading the wealth around.
