So why the name Soetero? Why the surname Dunham? Who was oppressing him that made him decide he had to have a fake name?
I think the point is that they were not fake names, but rather his legal name at various times. Soetero because he was adopted by Solo Soetero, his mother's second husband, assuming she really was married to BHO senior. But if she wasn't then Dunham would have been his name. Also it's possible that his "typical white" grandmother (and possibly gramps too) adopted him after his mother sent him back to Hawaii from Indonesia. Who knows? That too is the point, who knows!
now Obama is one of the most famous persons on the globe as the man in control of the nuclear powerhouse, presiding over what was once a major economic power.
