Dinesh D’Souza, an Indian American conservative political commentator, has written a number of books explaining some of the background of Barack Obama. As a person who was not raised in the American culture, Mr. D’Souza has a lot of insight on how America looks to someone not steeped in its culture. The movie, 2016, currently showing in selected theaters, is based on one of Mr. D’Souza’s books.
Fox News posted an article yesterday by Denish D’Souza detailing a recent event in Mr. D’Souza’s life.
Recently Mr. D’Souza received a call from someone named George, who was asking for money to pay the hospital bill for his son, who was seriously ill. After confirming the facts of the matter, Mr. D’Souza sent him the money he needed. The part of this story that is unique is that George is President Obama’s brother.
The story at Fox News details some of the reasons that George was not able to ask his brother for help. As in many families, political issues have caused divisions within the family that have overridden family ties. That is horribly unfortunate, and in this case meant that George had to ask a friend to help him in his time of need, rather than asking his brother.
The family disruption is sad, but the way that the President has treated his brother is even sadder. Please read the entire article to learn the history of this relationship. It is disturbing to see an American President treat a family member in this manner.
