With a new semi-autobiographical novel coming out, an elusive half-brother of Barack Obama, Mark Ndesandjo, has finally allowed himself to be interviewed for the first time. With the world's rapt attention, he opens up to the Associated Press about the only thing anyone cares about — his insight into the president of the United States:

Ndesandjo, who said he attended Obama's inauguration as a family guest, declined to discuss his earliest memories of the president or describe their relationship over the years.

What? Seriously? Thanks for nothing, buddy. You can go back to being elusive now.
