The Italian edition of Vanity Fair said that it had found George Hussein Onyango Obama living in a hut in a ramshackle town of Huruma on the outskirts of Nairobi.

Mr Obama, 26, the youngest of the presidential candidate's half-brothers, spoke for the first time about his life, which could not be more different than that of the Democratic contender.

"No-one knows who I am," he told the magazine, before claiming: "I live here on less than a dollar a month."

Vanity Fair also noted that he had a front page newspaper picture of his famous brother - born of the same father as him, Barack Hussein Obama, but to a different mother, named only as Jael.

He told the magazine: "I live like a recluse, no-one knows I exist."

Embarrassed by his penury, he said that he does not does not mention his famous half-brother in conversation.

"If anyone says something about my surname, I say we are not related. I am ashamed," he said.

For ten years George Obama lived rough. However he now hopes to try to sort his life out by starting a course at a local technical college.

He has only met his famous older brother twice - once when he was just five and the last time in 2006 when Senator Obama was on a tour of East Africa and visited Nairobi.

The Illinois senator mentions his brother in his autobiography, describing him in just one passing paragraph as a "beautiful boy with a rounded head".

Of their second meeting, George Obama said: "It was very brief, we spoke for just a few minutes. It was like meeting a complete stranger."

You know, since Barack is so in touch with familes and helping people.

    nutty story...

    I wonder if he ends up helping him out...

    reminds me of that South Park episode where Cartman gets mixed up with that Ethiopian kid....
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Obama will make sure we help his brother with the global tax proposal. He'll tax me. My money will go to his brother. That's the kind of compassion Obama has.

    Obamas father was married 4 times? That we know of? Who knows how many kids he has fathered.

    All the more power to you Oabama. I can't imagine my life without my dad being a part of it. He was always there. Kudos to you for what you achieved.

    I wonder how many kids won't have fathers due to Obama's presidency.

    isn't he continuing the war in Afghanistan, or was I mistaken?

    I also must have imagined that AIPAC speech.
