The half-brother of President Barack Obama has been arrested for carrying marijuana, Kenyan officials say. George Obama, 24, who shares a dad with the first Black President, was reportedly caught by police today. He denies the charges. The Obama siblings have only met about twice, apparently during Barack Obama’s visits to the Kenyan village where his father lived. The senior Barack Obama died in a car accident. Kenya ranks among nations outside the U.S. with the largest numbers of Obama supporters. The Obama hometown, where the president’s grandmother has a house that has become a tourist site, celebrated the Jan. 20 inauguration with a village feast. A school there bears the president’s name, and the date Obama took office has been proposed as a national holiday.  The president hadn’t commented on his brother’s arrest Saturday morning. Several other president brothers have had run-ins with the law: Billy Carter, Neil Bush, Roger Clinton and Donald Nixon.

Should President Obama feel compelled to comment to the public about his brother’s arrest?

Weezy’s week begins with court hearing.

It had to be a tough moment for rapper Lil’ Wayne’s assistant. At a Monday hearing on Weezy’s ongoing weapons case, in which he was allegedly arrested carrying a gun in New York, the subject of marijuana was raised. Wayne’s employee took the stand, admitting that weed is “something we always have” on the tour bus, and that Weezy only smokes “dro,” or hydroponically grown marijuana. Apparently, swearing to tell the truth kept the assistant from helping his boss a great deal. Wayne’s expected to return to court in December. In other New York-related Wayne news, the star sent his personal sympathies this past weekend to the family of a 16-year-old killed in a New York car wreck.
