HALF-BROTHER DAVID

'Everybody's favorite'

Comments

September 9, 2007

BY SCOTT FORNEK Political Editor

David Obama was Barack Obama's other half-brother from the marriage of their father and an American woman named Ruth.

David Obama was killed in a motorcycle accident before Barack Obama's 1987 visit to Kenya.

" 'He became everybody's favorite,' " Obama's half sister Auma tells him in Dreams From My Father. "'He was so sweet, you know, and funny, even if he was sometimes too wild. . . . His death broke everybody's heart.' "
