I am not an Obama fan, but to "nit pick him" on a relative he has met twice, and whom admits to being a hoodlum in the past, I would hardly fault Barack Obama.
If you feel sorry for him, why don't YOU send him some cash? Or better still, why don't you sponsor him to come over here to America. We need a few more Muslims here.
I have relatives that I could not help if I tried, and I'll bet you do too.
Using this little bit of family history to try and degrade Obama, when there are so many IMPORTANT issues to fault him on, is both silly and petty.
