Another Obama half-brother
I’d heard about some of Obama’s half-siblings, but not much about this guy Mark Okoth Obama Ndesandjo, who really does resemble Obama physically and even vocally, although his affect is different. Even his body language and movement is somewhat similar at times, as well as his body type and his face. It’s sort of uncanny, like a harmonic vibration in a different key (is that an oxymoron, you music theory experts?)
They did not know each other growing up and have only met a few times. Unlike Barack Junior, Mark got to actually live for some time with Barack Obama Senior, his father, and if it was a dream from his father the dream was of the nightmare variety, because he reports him as having been an abusive wife-beater.
Mark is a highly trained pianist and obviously bright; he went to several fine universities. I never read Dreams From My Father and was unaware that Obama Sr. had a wife after Obama Jr.’s mother Stanley (I knew he had a wife before her—actually, concurrently with her). Nor did I know that this third wife Ruth Baker (Mark’s mother) was Jewish. So Barack Jr. has a half-Jewish half-brother who somewhat resembles him.
Here Mark’s story, at least the part he cares to tell (he has lived in China for years, and is married to a Chinese woman):
Ancient Chinese secret!
How come?
Why is it that bread always lands butter-side down?
The wrong one ran for office.
Those seed-and-leave guys leave a hell of a lot of damage in their wake …

Another Obama brother in the news. I don’t know if Neo covered this
Winthrop,
I guess I’ve been restrained with my hopes of Obama. No, it’s not that I’ve reduced my wine. That’s something else entirely, Winthrop, something else entirely.
But I must say, I had hopes but I hide those hopes. I don’t, let’s say, make myself vulnerable. I don’t prophesy. Lord no. Leave that to the fat Irishmen in the pub. I’ve got my reputation to protect and I say only the safest things.
But the Lords and Gentlemen of the realm wanted, well, we needed some new blood. We hoped to contain the fire so to speak, if you know what I mean.
But an actor can sometimes slip his roles, doesn’t know he’s just an actor. We took that chance, mind you, with Barak. He doesn’t know he’s an actor. Makes him better, quite, at what he does. But without the usual controls.
So, we’ll need the usual. What? No one can do it? We’ve lost whom? Well, I suppose it will be up to you then, won’t it?
What’s with the last name, Ndesandjo? It is strange that he has taken that, no? He has the voice – maybe even a better voice. He is very smooth. His piano playing is real and appears to my amateur ear to be quite good. He has all those degrees and is into learning. Bridging just language gaps from Kenya to America to China is very impressive. And yet, and yet, I have this nagging feeling that Mark is a con man. At least he’s not trying to con a whole nation.
It must be tough to have such an evil older/younger brother around in the world. Although such status could be used to bolster one’s personal wealth and power… not sure if supping with the devil is worth the cost to one’s soul in the process.

J.J. formerly Jimmy J.:
If you read about him, you’ll see that his mother (like Barack Junior’s mother) remarried after she left Barack Senior, and then she took on the name of her new husband. Her new husband was also a Kenyan, by the way. Her sons by Obama took on their stepfather’s surname at that time (which Mark was probably only too happy to do, since he experienced his biological father as abusive).
Thanks, neo.
another half obama without ketchup and mayo.
I’m heading to the James Dean hamburger joint.
Very intriguing
A smoother talker for sure.
If it had been all those, Er, eh, ahhs we are subjected to I would not have watched the entire thing.
As another commentator pointed out, he wants to & apparently does help actual people, that is commendable.
He strikes me as a more sincere person but I could be wrong as someone else got the impression of a con man !
Finally Barack senior was quite the Player ! ( & i don t mean pianos)
An accurate psyche profile requires at least a human interview. Videos won’t cut it. At least, not this kind of video.
He does the same s hissing thing that Obama does.
