Barack Obama senior fathered eight children by four different women, one of his sons, Mark Ndesandjo, lives and works in China as a businessman since 2002.  Ndesandjo is the son of Barack’s late father and his third wife, Ruth Nidesand who operates a kindergarten in Nairobi. The half-brothers don’t appear to be close according to data in Obama’s book Dreams from My Father (1995).

The UK press writes, “Any family connection between the Democratic presidential contender and the flood of Chinese imports that are blamed by many Americans for destroying American jobs could be politically embarrassing.” (Timesonline, July 27,2009). However. as noted in the article, “Obama has staked out a populist position on trade with China in the US election campaign, calling in December 2007 for a ban on all toys from Chinese factories until safety inspections were put in place.”

Mark Ndesandjo seems like a normal business man, living a normal life in China. China right now must be an interesting place with all the changes there. Here is a link to a story about Mark Ndesandjo (no idea if it true).

Here is a link to a story about Bernard Obama who lives in the uk.

Here is a link to a better story in the UK Press.
