Obama's Brother Surfaces In China!
And he's got a book to sell!
President Obama's half brother, Mark Okoth Obama Ndesandjo, made a rare appearance in China on Wednesday to promote Nairobi to Shenzhen, a novel about an surviving an abusive father and building a new life in China.
Although he claims that it's a fictional account of his life (and father - of which he shares with the President), Ndesandjo said that it "reflects many experiences in my own life as a child brought up in Kenya."
And the First Half Brother timed it well! This book release comes exactly two weeks before President Obama visits China for the first time.
"My mother used to say of my father, he's a brilliant man but a social failure," the author said of his life. "I remember times in my house when I would hear screams and I would hear my mother's pain. My skin had turned hard emotionally for so many years because of what I'd seen my mother go through."
The book also details the marriage of the protagonist, David and his journey to China for the love of a Chinese woman and a young orphan - which mirrors his own marriage and work with orphans!
Sounds like he took the same fiction writing class as Lauren Conrad!!! It's taking "write what you know" to a whole other level!
"We're family, I love my family," said Ndesandjo, who claims to shy away from public ties to the President. "I was so proud of my brother Barack."
But it turns out, he's just another celebrity sibling looking for a piece of the pie!
"I wanted to be known as a writer, not for my relationship to the President," he continues, as a publisher is needed to release his upcoming autobiography, detailing an account of his family background and ties.
Turns out he's just a political Ali Lohan!!!

Yeeeeahhhh, you missed the part where he went to China 7 years ago without speaking the language and now owns a chain of restaurants there.
…like moths to a flame.
he looks more like Santana than Obama
"..about an surviving an abusive father"???? - GET CONTROL OF YOUR STAFF WITH ALL THESE TYPOS THERE PEREZ.
THIS GUY IS PROBABLY MORE TRUSTWORTHY THAN BARACK TO BE HONEST.
Good Day to you
Oh, capitalizing oN your brother's fame.
Trash
He wants his 15mins of FAME too !
He kinda hot
He looks like a felon, just out of prison!
Oh dear, how embarrassing…. reminds me of that Roger Clinton.
I read that this man is brilliant, teaches English in China and volunteers teaching piano to disabled children. He's HOT!! He's Jewish - and very private. And he's HOTTTTTT!
Well, good for him.

Re: astroyo – you think he's hot? WTF!
Billy (Carter) Beer.
How many brothers are there? I thought this was the poor one in Kenya that was living in a hut smoking a "J!" Guess not! What's this one half Chinese? Guess Daddy made 'donations' all around the world!
Re: Orator – I don't agree. from wiki: He runs an Internet company called WorldNexus that advises Chinese corporations how best to reach international customers. Mark graduated from Brown University, studied physics at Stanford University, received an MBA from Emory University, and has lived in Shenzhen, China since 2002 and is married to a Chinese woman from Henan Province named Liu Zue Hua. He is also an accomplished pianist.
He hardly needs to capitalize on his brother's fame. He is said to be very private, and is a class act.
Re: uncle eldon – He does….lmao
Perez, Mr. Ndesandjo, does not call himself Obama, and he has refused ALL interview requests till now. His mum, Ruth Nidesand is US american Jew, and Mark is US citizen. He has a Bachelor degree in Physics, Masters Degree in Physics from Stanford University, MBA from Emory Uni. Went to China in 2001, works as consultant in stragegic marketing. He speaks and writes fluent Mandarin, and is a volunteer teacher in English and Piano in orphanage. Part of profit from book is going to the orphanage.Don't you DARE compare him to the Lohans!
What?! Shouldn't this Obama brother be way darker in skin color? This isn't true, is it?
Guess they will pay him a sh!t load of money to make his brother look bad.
…although, he does resemble Obama.
They share a piece of garbage who sired them. The white women he impregnated squeezed out his DNA and he left all of them. Thanks to the extended white families who raised these two the piece of garbage was able to float back to Kenya where he belongs.
That's not Barack Obama's brother, that's Vin Diesel. You can't fool me.
All Democratic presidents have a weird brother lurking about.
