President Obama’s Half-Brother May Be An Opportunist… But He’s Also, Like, Chinese!

Does it make us squirm a little to learn that President Obama’s half-brother has conveniently adopted his father’s last name, just in time to promote his semi-autobiographical book about the dad he shares with our President? Yes.

But does the thought of another adorable, amazian munchkin visiting Uncle Barack in the White House someday make us squeal, a lot? YUP.

BABEWATCH: Dr. Konrad Ng, First Brother-in-Law

Name: Konrad Ng

Hails from: Canada

Occupation: University of Hawaii professor

Why He’s a Babe: For one thing, Konrad Ng is married to a babe, Maya Soetoro-Ng, President Obama’s younger sister, and it takes one to know one. For another, he, like his lovely wife, has a Ph.D (in Poli Sci), and y’all know how we swoon for higher educasian. And judging by the rapport he had with his nieces at the swearing-in ceremony, we’re guessing he’s also a pretty rad uncle.

Did you ever think we’d see a day when someone in the First Family looks like one of us? When the First Family would reflect the reality that we live in–multiracial, multicultural, educated, acculturated, and youthful? We didn’t really believe it until today. Now, anything seems possible. And that, friends, is beautiful.
