President Obama’s half-brother has been arrested on a drug charge.

Kenyan police tell the Associated Press they arrested George Obama for possession of marijuana on Saturday. Authorities say they discovered one joint of the drug on George, who is in police custody.

Barack and George share the same father but they hardly know one another, says the AP.

  • WHO CARES... Barack is the President not George... Even if he did know his brother, you cant hold Barack responsible for every mistake his family members make... We just need to focus on BARACK OBAMA, his beautiful wife and their darling girls..
