Barack Obama’s Brother George Obama Arrested for Marijuana possession … Maybe He was Hanging with Michael Phelps

Wake up the echo of arrested brothers of Presidents past …

Barack Obama’s brother, George Obama, was arrested in Kenya for possession of marijuana, but did he in hail? It would appear that Obama’s little brother is still living in the Nairobi slum. The Powers That Be ask a great question in their post ‘The Audacity of Dope: Obama’s Brother Arrested for Drug Possession, is Barack Obama’s half brother a black Billy Carter, or a Kenyan Roger Clinton … maybe a little of both?

(H/T: The Powers That Be)

As Suitably Flip states … “Let’s face it – you’re not truly President until your brother gets busted”.

We would ask the same question as The Gateway Pundit does, how would the media have handles this story if George W. Bush was the President and his half brother was arrested for pot possession? I think we know the answer. Interestingly enough the media is making the point that Obama and George barely know each other. So!

There is no truth to the rumor that George Obama was seen hanging with 14 time Olympic gold medalist swimmer Michael Phelps doing bong hits. The Audacity of Dope, indeed.

Speaking of DOPES!!! It is being reported that Michael Phelps was caught in several  pictures smoking a bong at a University of South Carolina party in early November, 2008. According to reports from The Star Magazine he was partying like it was 1999.

This is why Olympic athletes are to always keep training and never take time off to be distracted by the far too many temptations in life. The squeaky clean, All-American boy image of Michael Phelps is gone. No longer will he be on a box of Wheaties, but instead Zig-zag paper. Is Michael Phelps endorsement and Olympic career … Up in Smoke?

UPDATE I: Phelps acknowledges photo using pot pipe and bad behavior

This is the reason why our heros should never be athletes. If you want to find a real hero … look to the US military, there are unknown names of brave men and woman every day doing acts of heroism that you will never hear about.

Olympic great Michael Phelps acknowledged “regrettable” behavior and “bad judgment” after a photo in a British newspaper Sunday showed him inhaling from a marijuana pipe.

In a statement to The Associated Press, the swimmer who won a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Games did not dispute the authenticity of the exclusive picture published Sunday by the tabloid News of the World.

“I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment,” Phelps said in the statement released by one of his agents. “I’m 23 years old and despite the successes I’ve had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.”
