Egyptian Supreme Court judge Tahani al-Gebali claims that one of Obama's brothers is a top figure in the Muslim Brotherhood. (The link calls her a former Chancellor and current advisor; other websites say she is the sitting vice chair.) This means absolutely nothing since a man is not his brother and the President is separated from his family socially, geographically, and ideologically; his father was an atheist, IIRC. There is also a loose connection between this brother and the IRS maybe-scandal.

The wingnutosphere is tying the story to a vague claim by Saad al-Shater that his father, jailed Muslim Brotherhood figure Khairat al-Shater, has information that could land Obama in prison. Curiously, the CIA was very interested in talking to the senior al-Shater. There is no sign that the two stories are connected and al-Shater's information has not been released, supposing it exists. I'm still waiting for Manuel Noriega's information that would send the elder Bush to prison.
