From the video transcript (start at 8:50 mark):
“ But part of that belief comes from my faith in the idea that I am my brother’s keeper and I am my sister’s keeper; that as a country, we rise and fall together. I’m not an island. I’m not alone in my success. I succeed because others succeed with me.”
That claim doesn't extend to his actual family in Kenya.
President Obama has ignored his African family line. President Obama doesn't help any of his relatives in Kenya. This poor grandmother of 90 years still lives in absolute poverty in a small village in Kenya and she gets no help at all from Obama. Obama's half brother George Obama still lives in the slums in Kenya and gets no help at all from his elder brother Barack Obama the president of the richest country on earth which is very sad. The American presidency can never buy you a new family line so if you ignore your family line just because of your position then you are not being a good person at all. I used to like Obama a lot. I still like him but not that much why because Obama ignores his poor African relatives. I still believe blood is thicker than water.
I remember in 2008 when Obama was doing very bad in the polls, he left the campaign trail and came all the way to the poor village in Kenya to see his grandmother just to get "Sympathy votes" and then he started ignoring them once he won the presidency. Even he did not want to invite any of his family members in Kenya to attend his inauguration. It became a very hot topic on cnn before Obama decided to invite just a few of them to attend his inauguration at the very last minute which is very bad.
