You're misinformed. Obama does not have a brother or an aunt.
No, he's right.
He has a half-brother and his aunt was in a news story during the campaign, though I understand that he has had very little contact with his father's side of the family and barely knows them.
Nope, I was right. Half-brother. Not his brother. As in, son of the father who left when Obama was 2 years old.
Would I feel financially responsible to a half-brother from a parent who left me when I was two? It might be different if it were, say, a half-brother from his mother, who raised him until age 10. Or his half-sister who he knew when he was in Indonesia. But not a half-brother from an absent father.
I have recently added three step-brothers and a step-sister, since my dad just remarried. I met them at the wedding, but I feel no real connection to them as I do my brothers and sisters. Why should Obama? At least I knew both my parents--Obama's father was absent.
And said "aunt" was the half-sister, of the same father he barely knew. Even less of a relation.
Like I said, Obama does not have a brother. Or an aunt.
