Obama: Arrested?

Yes, the headline is right, Obama was arrested, but it is not the Obama you are thinking about. The President’s little brother; half brother, George Obama was arrested Saturday for possession of Marijuana.

The Kenyan -born resisted arrest, after he was picked up on charges of cannabis; also know as Bhang in Kenya. A CNN reporter spoke to Obama from behind the bars. "They took me from my home," he said, "I don't know why they are charging me." Obama is denying the charges, he is set to appear in court on Monday.

George Obama was the only close relative of President Obama, who did not attend the inauguration two weeks ago. The half-brothers met once, the President describing it as a painful affair, meeting his Kenyan family. George was the last child born to Obama Sr. just before he died in a car crash.

The 20-something year old is learning to become a mechanic and was active in youth groups in Huruma. He said he tries to help the community as much as he can.
