PFNC Global Communities: Suggestion for Barack Obama on helping his brother George

Come on Barack, you claim you want to change the way of life for Americans.

It might be a good idea to first change the way of life for your brother, George.

Here's a suggestion you can start with.

Below is a family portrait of Barack Obama's family.

OBAMA FAMILY MEMBERS-- back row from left: Unknown, Barack Obama, half-brother Malik (Obongo or Roy), unknown, half-brother Abo, Bernard. Front: Half-sister Auma, stepmum Kezia, stepgrandma Sarah, unknown. Half brother George is not pictured and was the son of Barack's father and an unknown Kenyan woman.

So where is half brother George??

The Italian press discovered Obama's younger brother living in a slum hut in Nairobi Kenya. George, below (Photo: Guy Calaf, Vanity Fair, Italy), is the son of Barack Obama Sr. and Jael.

The Telegraph reported:

The Italian edition of Vanity Fair said that it had found George Hussein Onyango Obama living in a hut in a ramshackle town of Huruma on the outskirts of Nairobi.

Mr George Obama, 26, the youngest of the presidential candidate's half-brothers, spoke for the first time about his life, which could not be more different than that of the Democratic contender.

"No-one knows who I am," he told the magazine, before claiming: "I live here on less than a dollar a month."

According to Italy's Vanity Fair, George's two metre by three metre shack is decorated with football posters of the Italian football giants AC Milan and Inter, as well as a calendar showing exotic beaches of the world.

Vanity Fair also noted that he had a front page newspaper picture of his famous brother - born of the same father as him, Barack Hussein Obama, but to a different mother.

He told the magazine: "I live like a recluse, no-one knows I exist." Embarrassed by his penury, he said that he does not does not mention his famous half-brother in conversation."If anyone says something about my surname, I say we are not related. I am ashamed," he said.

Well you'd think Barack might want to help him out a bit, right? Here's something he could do for George that wouldn't put him out much. It's called...

PFNC Global Communities

Obama's answer lies in a humble steel shipping container, 40 feet long, 8 feet wide, 8 1/2 feet tall. A home structured from a standard shipping container that hauls goods worldwide. This 320-square-foot home come complete with a kitchen, bath with toilet, sleeping areas, windows and a bright blue door. The exterior is painted with a white epoxy coating that has light-reflecting properties to prevent the sun's heat from penetrating.

Each small house includes hookups for air conditioning, ventilation, electrical and water systems — and the units ideally could be set up in small communities to make accessing utilities more efficient. Looks alot nicer than George's wood hut to me. What do ya think Barack?

This is the brain child of Brian McCarthy, 30. In July 2007, along with three partners, Pablo Nava, 22; Kyle Annen, 23; and Mackenzie Bishop, 22, formed PFNC Global Communities. PFNC stands for "Por Fin, Nuestra Casa," which roughly translates as "Finally, our own home."

"We started with a kitchen and bathroom because they're the most necessary and most basic ingredients of a home," McCarthy said.

They designed a galley-style kitchen with a stove, sink, refrigerator and dinette, and a 48-square-foot bathroom with a pedestal sink, shower and commode. Adjacent to the kitchen is a bunk area for children; separate sleeping quarters for the owners lie behind the bathroom wall.

They are working hard to keep the price to around $8,000. Hey Barack, not bad for someone with your kind of money. What a great way to help out George!!
