BREAKING: Obamas Kenyan Brother Comes Forward And Breaks His Silence Finally Obama made headlines when he appeared in Kenya last week, and discussed his heritage for the first time. Now, Obamas Kenyan family has come forward to tell reporters that they were less-than-thrilled to see him. Barack doesnt want anything to do with us, his brother, Malik, told the press. Hes not an honest man. Its a big humiliation. Sources say t hat the brothers were once very close. Malik was even the best man at Obamas wedding to Michelle. The relationship grew more distant when Obama refused to provide money for a funeral for one of his family members. Sources say the brothers have been distant ever since Malik wrote Obama a letter asking for $15,000. That was nearly 20 years ago. What do you think? Are you surprised that Obamas family members are separating themselves from him?
