You may ormay not know this about former President Barack Obama, but he haseight half-siblingsscattered across the globe.
George lives in Kenya, and his experience is a world apart from his half-brother’s.
See, the youngest Obama brother hasn’t exactly had a clean-cut life.
“I don’t know why they are charging me.”
George frequently found himself in trouble with the law and even served time.
He belonged to a gang and admitted during an interview withNPRthat he has violent tendencies.
“I know how to beat people.
I’m good with my fists too much,” he said.
He also admitted to being party to several robberies, some of which he committed at gunpoint.
“I just think I’m, like, I was born a rebel, or something.
I don’t know.
I’m not sure why,” he told NPR when asked about his past crimes.
He toldThe Guardianin 2012, “You have to teach the youth by example.
In Kenya, the police have a ‘shoot to kill’ policy.
“Lay out the options: you either stop or you go and die.”
He headed several youth groups he busied with football games, drama classes, and environmental cleanup projects.
Even though George’s half-brotherBarack Obama’s childhoodwas vastly different from his, he holds no grudges.
He’s taking care of the world, so he’s taking care of me.”
