The Rose

romney told a very touching story:

mom and dad were married 64 years, every day he bought her a rose and put it on her bedstand

the way mom learned that dad died---one day there was no rose

obama's half brother george lives in kenya on 30 dollars a month

george is featured at the beginning of dinish d'souza's smash documentary, hollywood's #7 money maker last weekend, "2016: obama's america"

two weeks ago, george needed $1000 for medical reasons, he turned to dinesh for help, not his brother in the white house who sermonizes to all america that we are our brothers' keepers

when dinesh came thru george called him, "my brother"

A couple of years ago, George teamed up with a British journalist Damien Lewis and the two of them published George’s story in a book called "Homeland." Yet according to Lewis, shortly before the book’s publication in America, the publisher Simon & Schuster decided to shred the entire print run, more than 20,000 copies. Lewis tried unsuccessfully to get an explanation from Simon & Schuster but to no avail. He now suspects that the White House convinced Simon & Schuster that George’s story might prove embarrassing to the president.

So what’s the real story here? Where’s George Obama’s “fair share”? George’s tragic situation exposes President Obama as a hypocrite. Here is a man who demands that others pay higher taxes to help the poor—even poor people who are not related to them—while Obama himself refuses to help a close relative like George.

Almost as sad as mitt Romney's brother who he disowned for the sin of not meing a mormon anymore. When you are going to get up on your moral high horse you might want to make sure it is not doing ballet.

ROMNEY: Well, he's a remarkable leader. He's always been a leader and everything he's ever done, he's been a great brother to me, as well. When I was sick, he's the one that did all the research to figure out what I needed to do. So, he has been there in every troubled situation in my life.

I'm not finding anything on that, Tererun. Link? Though, actually, I rather think he atoned for that by raising 20-some foster children. But I'm sure you know best. Not.

Edit: Maybe you're talking about the brother who said this at the convention?

ROMNEY: Well, he's a remarkable leader. He's always been a leader and everything he's ever done, he's been a great brother to me, as well. When I was sick, he's the one that did all the research to figure out what I needed to do. So, he has been there in every troubled situation in my life.

Yep. That's the one. He only has one brother. Flapping gums. Again.

Wow, Scott Romney -- a Harvard Law School graduate, long-time practicing lawyer, member of the Michigan State Board of Trustees, among many other boards ... needed his younger brother's help to figure out how to deal with his illness? :roll:

As for Obama's half-brother George, by Obama's father, who Obama barely knew ... I don't believe they've ever met. Republicans have been making crap up about him for years trying to smear the president.
