GUANGZHOU, China — President Barack Obama’s half brother has broken his media silence to discuss his new novel — the semi-autobiographical story of an abusive parent patterned on their late father, the mostly absent figure Obama wrote about in his own memoir.

In his first interview, Mark Ndesandjo told The Associated Press that he wrote "Nairobi to Shenzhen" in part to raise awareness of domestic violence.

Actually this makes sense and explains a lot about why Obama is who he is. Poor guy just wants to be loved. Get over it Barry, it's not going to happen! LOL
