Eric Bolling Goes After Barack Obama’s Half Brother In Kenya

Abon’go Malik “Roy” Obama, President Barack Obama‘s Kenyan half brother, is drawing the attention of Fox Business’ Eric Bolling over concerns about the legitimacy of his charity, the Barack H. Foundation. Is the Foundation, legally, a non-profit? It had once registered as a non-profit in Virginia, but that registration has since lapsed. Has it done anything to actually help the poor? The answer, unfortunately, remains murky.

Bolling called Mr. Obama in Kenya in an attempt to gain some clarity. The person who answered the telephone – insinuated by Bolling to have been Abon’go Obama himself – was, apparently, highly defensive, even asking Bolling why Mr. Obama, a “nobody,” would even be on his radar. The man asked why Fox News / Business wasn’t busy “going after bin Laden” (Um…) and asked why they were “saying that Obama’s mother is a prostitute.”

Bolling brought on Juan Williams to discuss the matter further. Williams opined that the Foundation’s shadiness should be a cause for concern, and that it should not be tolerated. Here, he said, is someone attempting to capitalize off the President’s name (which also happens to be the name of the two Obamas’ father, for whom the Foundation is named). Williams pointed out that there seems to be a trend among Presidents’ brothers attempting to exploit their more famous kin.

Later, Bolling’s panel asked why President Obama hasn’t done more to look into his brother’s dealings.
