To read Sally H. Jacobs’s new biography of Barack Hussein Obama Sr. is to realize that his son, the president, spent much of his life reaching for a shadow he was lucky never to catch. Early in The Other Barack, a childhood playmate recalls how Obama Sr. would frequently snap at him and shout, “You don’t know what you are talking about.” A few chapters later, the editor of the University of Hawaii literary magazine describes Obama Sr. barreling into his office, unprovoked, to declare that a particular poem wasn’t “worth a damn.” Back in Nairobi, says one government official, Obama Sr. would “slam his fist on the table” and claim that a rival “knows nothing about math or economics”; he would go on to describe other colleagues as “intellectual dwarfs.” As college friend and current Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie tells Jacobs, Obama Sr. could never “contain his irritation with people who were not as facile as he, and he did not hesitate to say so.”
The president, of course, has a healthy ego. But this is something else. Every shred of available evidence—which Jacobs, a veteran reporter, spent two years and 75,000 miles of intercontinental travel ably assembling—suggests that the senior Obama was an unmitigated jerk: a coxcombish souse who forced friends to cover his abundant bar tabs and repeatedly broke his legs in boozy car crashes; an uncooperative contrarian who was promptly fired from, or sidelined at, every job he ever had; a compulsive philanderer who ditched his first wife, Kezia Nyandega, when he moved to America, abandoned the president’s mother, Ann Dunham, when he left Hawaii for Harvard, and lured his third wife, Ruth Baker, to Kenya only to beat, berate, and cheat on her.
And yet, if Obama Sr. were only a jerk, there wouldn’t be...

Paul Robeson was old enough to be Obama’s great grandfather! Do you mean Frank Marshall Davis (a little younger than Robeson) who did spend time with O?

It wasn’t either of the two guys on the bottom.
"Frank Marshall Davis . . . Barack Obama, Sr. . . . Malcolm X . . .
Will the REAL father of 'Barack Obama' please stand up?"
IF, in fact, that is his father.
As they say the acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Source on the Wednesday night drunkenness rumors?
It’s starting to feel like masochism to expose myself to any more of this Obama “lore.”
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, a veritable pr-ck off the old c-ck.
Why do you think it wasn’t Malcom X?
Next question:
Who’s his mother.
I was wardriving and forgot to put “whoa!” Definitely not the father, bottom right corner has exclamation point...
The author of the book isn’t REALLY asking WHO his father WAS, the title is misleading...she assumes his father was the son-of-a-kenyan-goat-herder - the review makes it clear what the author is trying to tell us; his background, his history, his behaviour.
In contrast to his ‘brilliant son’ - therefor the barf alert.
