Obama's Brother and US Jobs

We have our latest candidate in the non-stop Getting Thrown Under the Bus By Obama game. Who is our latest candidate? Well, none other than Obama's half-brother:

Mark Ndesandjo is the son of Barack Obama’s late father and his third wife, an American woman named Ruth Nidesand who runs the up-market Maduri kindergarten in Nairobi.

Obama, however, refers to him simply as “my brother” and says he was the only uncontested heir after their father, a Kenyan, died in a car crash in 1982.

And what does this gentleman do for a living?

The company’s Chinese-language website promises “increased communication efficiency” to clients and lists Shenzhen exporters of electronics and machine parts among its contracts.

Mr. Ndesandjo says that he is not in business anymore but he must be doing something to live in one of the most opulent cities in China. China's number one source of currency is exports of products manufactured in government-subsidized sweatshops. Many of those exports go to the US where companies can't even hope to compete with the low labor costs and lack of safety standards. In other words, Obama's brother is part of the export business that costs Americans jobs and reduces the standard of living for many Americans.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for businesses prospering but not the way the Chinese have. They play by different rules than anywhere else in the world and have an unfair advantage because of it. Barack Obama has made it a cornerstone of his campaign to help the lower and middle classes of this nation while at the same time a family member is profiting from doing the exact opposite. Again, I'm a fan of capitalist enterprise but this seems like an inconvenient fact that should have been revealed but was not even researched apparently by an American media in the tank for the Senator from Illinois.

Look for Mr. Ndesandjo to join Senator Obama's grandmother, Reverend Wright, Father Pflegel, possibly John Edwards the numerous others who have become an inconvenience to him under the bus.
