Probably because he is a half-brother in DNA only. Obama's father got another woman pregnant. I will bet that many a President who had a playboy like father had various half-brothers he may or may not have known about.
The first black President is also quite an achievement for this nation. Someone with Obama's activist past would have some rather questionable mentors. At least, in the eyes of the Tea Partiers and very conservative Republicans.
