Yet an investigation by The Mail on Sunday has revealed that, for all Mr Obama's reputation for straight talking and the compelling narrative of his recollections, they are largely myth.
We have discovered that his father was not just a deeply flawed individual but an abusive bigamist and an egomaniac, whose life was ruined not by racism or corruption but his own weaknesses.
And, devastatingly, the testimony has come from Mr Obama's own relatives and family friends.

Relatives say he was already a slick womaniser and, once in Honolulu, he promptly persuaded a fellow student called Ann - a naive 18-year-old white girl - to marry him. Barack Jnr was born in August, 1961.
Two years later, Obama Snr was on the move again. He was accepted at Harvard, and left his little boy and wife behind when he moved to the exclusive east coast university.
At the time, Ann explained to their son that his father had gone because his meagre stipend would not support the family if they lived together. But finance was the least of her worries.....

His father could be a bigot. He fathered a kid with a white woman. < /s >
And it is more important to hear that his grandmother is a bigot.
“could NOT”
No. No. No. Blacks good. Whites bad.
“His in-heat father went a-whoring with a white woman”, said the Harlem pastor. Sounds pretty accurate to me. Obama Sr. was a low-life.
We have discovered that his father was not just a deeply flawed individual but an abusive bigamist and an egomaniac, whose life was ruined not by racism or corruption but his own weaknesses.
And, devastatingly, the testimony has come from Mr Obama’s own relatives and family friends.
in a new book The Audacity Of Hope, timed to coincide with his campaign, he concentrates on his manifesto for ‘reclaiming the American dream’.
This tome contains one telling paragraph, in a section in which he fumbles to try to justify his abrupt leap into the national political arena: he is, he says, chronically ‘restless’.
“Someone once said that every man is trying to either live up to his father’s expectations or make up for his father’s mistakes, and I suppose that may explain my particular malady.”
Sheesh. Not only a drunk and a bigot, but a grifter and a rounder. And don’t forget wife-beater. Like father, like son?
With this history, I am surprised he didn’t live in a run down trailer park.
So, Obama is a fake all the way around.
Ouch.
I think just the fact that a radical like Obama is actually a legitimate candidate for President is bad news...hope I’m wrong.
Sad, but you are correct.
The Dunhams weren't happy with the union, but Barack Senior's father was furious. He wrote the Dunhams “this long, nasty letter saying that he didn't approve of the marriage,” Obama recounted his mother telling him in “Dreams.” “He didn't want the Obama blood sullied by a white woman.”
The Obama’s have been bigots for generations.
I feel like the nation is now caught up (unwillingly) in a remake of the original “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner,” as directed by Spike Lee.
He could also use that line from good old Jesse Jackson, “I never spent one night in my fathers house”.
Has anyone seen a picture or heard anything about his mother? His white family seems to have been “airbrushed” out of his past.
... or Stephen King!
Islam permits multiple wives. How can a non-observant muslim in Kenya be considered a “bigamist”?
