Dr. Auma Obama is an activist in Kenya. She also happens to be related to the President of the United States - her half-brother is Barack Obama. George talks to her about reuniting with family and life in Kenya.
President Obama's sister is eloquent & well spoken. Bravo to Auma.
Credit to Barak's mother & grand parents in USA.for raising him right.
Of course, she is eloquent. The lady has a PhD. Moreover, she comes from an intelligent family.
Nature vs Nurture debate, the Kenyan side is clearly well educated. Despite George saying he lived in the 3rd World.
she is beautiful too
Love how she set the conversation straight!!
Gina Armstrong Me too, the interviewer was going to bring division in the interview the she wasn't having it.
Such ah intelligent FINE strong sister!
Yes beautiful sister.
❤️My Grandfather use to say, “I don’t have any step children, I didn’t step on any of them! Now I know where he got it from! This brings me to tears! Her unconditional love and acceptance of her brother!
Lol.. when brother is in usa, automatic acceptance..
glory glory hallelujah
This man is and was surrounded by all these strong women of different colors Barack was and is truly blessed
In africa there is no such a thing as half you either a brother, sister or not
True
We are all brothers
We thank the Great God. To have lifted him that high.
I Love that!
That true in Africa, but not in the USA. Moreover, Halima Obama is President Obama's real Kenyan grandmother. Ms.Sarah is his father's stepmother. How sad that Auma did not introduce POTUS to his real grandmother.
Auma is a beautiful and intelligent woman and Barack is lucky to have her as a sister. Between Michelle's wonderful family and his own, it's no wonder he's so grounded.
+TheWonderfulKushites Auma says that she met Obama late in life so I don't think she has anything to do with him being well grounded. Obama's half-brother Mark (by the third wife of Obama Sr.) calls Barack a "lousy" brother, which seems to be because they have no contact.
TheWonderfulKushite the whole family is a class by themselves
She seems to be a witty person, the Obama family is actually interesting . . . unlike the Trump family.
@@krollpeter thank you
For what?
Who are you, Mr. Obioha?
I really like her personality and presence, from what I get from here shes a really pleasent person to be around.
Beautiful woman I'm proud of my people , I'm a Jamaican we are all one people ❤👍👏
She's full of GRACE
Lovely description.
Amen
I like her assessment of family. It's African culture. As long as you are family/clan they embrace you. They might even hate your guts but you're still fam.
So inspired with Barack Obama's life history from childhood to date. God bless you Mr. President
Intelligent, genuine fine lady high respect for her💞👌🤘
There is no half sister in the Caribbean as well
Elsie Jean Baptiste , indeed this is a black and African value! I may not like you but family is family!
Not quite true.. It depends on circumstance and how well the "siblings" get along. If it's as a result of an extra marital relationship they tend to use the term half-brother/sister. If it's a remarriage and the siblings are growing up together, then it's more than likely they will ignore it.
I think it's a Anglo Saxon nuclear family thing.
Elsie Jean Baptiste That’s so true
Elsie Jean Baptiste is the reason being that your African heritage still remains somewhat?
When I visited in Benin, I was treated like a daughter, a sister, part of the family. I didn't feel like a stranger at all. There is no such thing as half brother, or half sister. We are blood family. Auma is a great, intelligent woman.
BEAUTIFUL
All we have is one another
Have you noticed how politicians always say the right thing but then that's the end of it once they're in office what did he do for our country we are living proof and we've got his puppet in office as president Joe Biden who is a better bigger lier than Obama
I thank God Kenya is really blessed
YES a brother is a brother is a brother!!!
thats how we africans are, you dont call someone half
Exactly!
yea just ignore them
mai nyeswah African Americans too. They do not use 1/2 it a brother or sister and the close friends of their parents are their aunts and uncles.
dee MAVERICK I wonder where we get it from lol
Well guess what I'm a black American and I don't give a fuck about Africans so I got a half brother and that's what I call him because that's what I consider him to be half same mother different fathers and that just the way it is with me as far as I'm concerned
"half brother".......most africans would never speak like that
kcoldkchill blacks period don’t talk like that,that’s a white thing
I am from East Africa. I respect and admire the way this prestigious sister responded to the terminology of 'half sister or brother'. We never use this term.
Stfu I grew up in a white household and was always taught there’s no such thing as half blood
Not an "African phrase" !
Never.. we call our cousins brother or sister
Beautiful, intelligent & clever
Auma, you ARE a star in your own right...just like President Obama...your parents raised some awesome jewels and I know they, and GOD, are proud of you both...as we all are. Blessings
Now to those who thought Barack abandoned his family, Auma is a sure case that you can invest in someone who who share values with, the willing.
Yeah...I think the entire African continent has same culture of brothers/sisters are always fully member of the family...
ask Rwandans, and the Congolese, abt their bros and sistas. I have nt been to Africa, but a mate of mine has. He was looking for a wife there. hehe.
@@lunafringe10 did he get the so much sought wife?😂😂😂
Humbling and beautiful man!!
She's beautiful
I agree. We do not say half brother or sis. It is brother or sis.
Same here in Georgia. Unthinkable to consider my brother and sisters as “half”. Strange concept, Must be European
how abt the chinese? Your brothers too?
She is soo smart...amaizing lady...
Very interesting. She very articulate and I proud of her.
Kenya tumebarikiwa sana.....
@Jonny Bro 😂😂😂🤚
Class is class. I liked her answer with regard to her brother's birth. We saw the pictures and heard all about the family, his mother, his father living in the States and marrying his mother, his maternal grand parents, his school pictures in Hawaii. Yet ignorent, unintelligent people made such a fool of themselves re his birth in a country where people are supposed to be educated. Hats off to both his sisters. Mayo and Auma. Very bright and intelligent family.
I'm from Nicaragua and my Mom's older brothers are from another Dad , but my Mom never referred to them as halve brothers. They are her brothers. I love my uncles
President Obama sister is well spoken; well aware of her surroundings.
I like the part where she address the reporter by saying.. That my brother; why should I be like wow.
I had all his grades reports since he was a young child; still she's not begging for nothing...!!!!
How do you know what's she asked for?
What does well spoken mean?
She's well-spoken, intelligent and personable just like President Obama.
happy for our Kenyan son going that far and in the white house
Yes, going to the white house.. correct.. but he didn't do anything.. its said, he had a chance and didn't do shit.
An intelligent, staight and well spoken lady, she seems to have a lovely personality.
"Thanks for the conversation". Something I say.
What a nice way of talking. I like her
Auma Obama, you speak so eloquently.
Exactly like her Brother
Wow a great personality
Too bad this interviewer didn't understand her attempts at drawing the focus back to her documentary. He just ignorantly keeps focusing on her brother whereas she'd like to explain her purpose for the interview. How rude this person was in that respect. Very graceful on her side in handling it.
Dear sister. You have handled your position well and gracefully. Looking at the history of your dad and bro I am not surprised
Amazing woman!!
Why is it that white people ask them “Were you resentful or jealous of him?" No white man. Us Afrikkans dont resent our family because of their success. That may be apart of white peoples culture but not Afrikkans
Fuck you racist fuck
Fuck you racist fuck
Fuck you racist fuck
johnb382s look at you. You emotional. Your true nature coming out.
Che Bugginz Real talk my brother, I was thinking the same thing!!!
Une histoire merveilleuse que je souhaite pour ma famille, mon fils, mes frères et soeurs...
Jadore barrack
That's right. There is no distinctions in love and in family.
Dr. Auma Obama lives in Kenya. She went to college in Germany though.
We geht es ihnnen sister auma?
She is lovely.
Well spoken
I Love Her A Brother Is A Brother There Is No Half
Now, that's a profound statement! What genius you espouse.
She is so beautiful. Auma seems like she has a good spirit.
So beautiful, looks ma sister.
Am trying to figure out the right word for " Half brother" in my ghanaian twi language.
The interviewer is a freak -- he leans in too much and asks shallow questions. But she is lovely.
He's drooling.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love you, too. Highly philosophical jesture...
How come no one harasses Trump’s siblings for interviews when they’re all in New York?
simply because he didn't come from an ordinary humble background. That was Obama's main pitch. That anyone can make it to the White House and he changed History. Being Kenyan, I am proud I lived to see this.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Maria Lewis 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Jorge Tomasz 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Do you suppose it's because the ones w look now are extremely boring and full of shit. Otherwise, can t imagine why.
Teach him my sister. We don't know half brother
Nice....and Civilized !!!!
Gods bless Obama and His Family Always🙏😇
There all so smart
Kenya is a blessed country no doub't
clever and beautiful
Nice 👍
Auma..my new role model !!! You did well on stage today introducing your brother!!
MsNairobi she don't song Kenyan atoll I speak English but my English is second or third year compare to how she speaks that is truly perfection at its best love love her
In Africa (Blacks) both extended or immediate or whatever! We all consider ourselves as one FAMILY, there's nothing as half brother. there is no WORD for such in my country too
Mop M
Exactly African Americans dosent say that’s my half sister we have different mom or dad it’s my sister or brother .
Very very nice to live in unity
The eloquence and intelligence is there. These journalists want to bring out something as 'half brother/or sister'...they are family brother, we are africans hello! There are no bad news come on...family.period.!
the name Obama and Obame are originally from Cameroon.the Cameroonian that out ran the German in 1850 and settled in Kenya name was Obama Bitta. that's all.
Never knew that . THANKS
😂😂😂You want him to be cameroonian soo bad
@@kayesacliff900 Obama is the last asshole i will ever want in my country despite my claim . Bring here any Kenyan ID that carry the name Obama prior to year 2005, let see. And i will bring you 50 men ID names Obama et 40 women ID names Obame.😃 These are the list of all CAMERICANS many got the land and are building their house in Victoria, Limbe, Kribi, Douala and Yaounde....................................................

How can a Brother or a Sister be Half?
President Obama's father might have been a dirtbag, but what is amazing is that the children he has had, or at least the ones I've learned about, have done very well in life. And, this is even though they seem to on many levels not have associated with each other on any substantial level.
So for this particular man who seems to have not been the greatest father, to have all of these children who exceled, to me at least, is extraordinary and puzzling at the same time.
Can you explain how he's a dirtbag?
she's so articulate...
perfect english diction
ALEXANDER GOMES That is such a condescending statement. What were you expecting? Contrary to popular belief there are highly educated Africans. We tend to take education very seriously.
Theresa Okon no words 😶
What a well spoken woman.
She has PhD.
This half brother concept is VERY DIVISIVE among siblings. Why is it always like this in the Western culture?
Brother is a Brother. No half about it. Also sometimes we even call our cousins brother/sister. We are all close!!!
When God puts his children and people together it's not you or him God did that and they love each other peace linda j ☮️❤️ ❤️💯 💯💯 💯💯 💯💯 💯
Me too i wish I will find my sister i know is time to me to find her but God will help me to find my sister my story is so painful but God will do something
How come he didn't ask her about George Obama
🔭In regards to Mr. George Obama...I admire his honesty & his strenght. It does not matter what he or anyone did in the past ... The past does not have to guide your future if you are honest.
Auma OBAMA for president KENIA
Why Auma doesn’t talk about her other brother George Obama? I was just wondering because they don’t say half brothers or half sisters!!
I know right .half
And he's first Man displing all president's_of United States of America barrack and all around world he's respect him
Sooo true, couldn't agree more!!
I like the way she says Barack. Maya says it the same way.
Lovely sister
I'm very happy to first African man
To be a American president And he's proud to be a Kenyan,,,,,and help somalian refugees
To go United States,,,,we get masha'allah new life
King Mafia ok trumpet.
They look alike,also have same voices and they smart family
Yes we Don't deal with half in our family. They are just family straight family!!!
She is so beautiful.
Yeah Im a start stealing on anybody dissing our only black prez!
She should run for President in her country.
In Africa there's no half siblings of same FATHER because polygamy is a norm. Children are identified by their fathers and belong to their tribes. That's why BO Jr is a Luo by tribe. If siblings are of same mother but different fathers then they become just relatives each identified by their own father and tribe. Neither of them can claim the identity of the other.
Dr. Auma Obama is very classy and elegant. She has always spoken very positively about her American half-brother, unlike that deplorable Malik.
We Africa dont kn what "half" when it comes to family
She's pretty. They're (The Obamas) are brilliant people. The father was awarded a scholarship to study in America because of his brilliance. Also, Obama inherited his charisma and speaking skills from his dad who was described as a dynamic orator.
mrsnet Obama Sr. Was a drunk womanizer and a shitbag. Smart, maybe but more importantly a lousy person all around.
+Johnny Panama like you really care. Lol
mrsnet Obama actually inherited his skills from the teleprompter. If you watch clips of Obama in unscripted activity where he speaks for more than 30 seconds, Obama exposes a total lack of personality. His act works in a vacuum, where ppl like you drink it in.
I suppose the mismatched socks are his style, but it seems juvenile.
INTELLIGENT & SMART LADY. VERY SENSIBLE & MATURE PERSON. IT SEEMS THATS IN OBAMA’S FAMILY BLOOD & GENES.
Gorgeous woman. She is also doing great work.
Isn't his other sister a DR as well?
See how his sister speak elegant and powerful strength with humility. What is Michelle problem again?
