A few days ago I received a call from a man I recently met named
George. He was a bit flustered, and soon informed me that his young son
was sick with a chest condition. He pleaded with me to send him $1,000
to cover the medical bills. Since George was at the hospital I asked
him to let me speak to a nurse, and she confirmed that George’s son was
indeed ill. So I agreed to send George the money through Western Union.
He was profusely grateful. But before I hung up I asked George, “Why
are you coming to me?” He said, “I have no one else to ask.” Then he
said something that astounded me, “Dinesh, you are like a brother to
me.”
Actually, George has a real life brother who just happens to be the president of the United States. (George Obama is the youngest of eight children sired by Barack Obama Sr.) George’s brother is a multimillionaire and the most powerful man in the world. Moreover, George’s brother has framed his re-election campaign around the “fair share” theme that we owe obligations to those who are less fortunate.
One of Obama’s favorite phrases comes right out of the Bible: “We are our brother’s keeper.” Yet he has not contributed a penny to help his own brother. And evidently George does not believe, even in times of emergency, that he can turn to his brother in the White House for help.
