At 18, he [Barak's dad] married a girl called Kezia. But Obama Snr was more interested in politics and economics than his family and his political leanings had been brought to the notice of leaders of the Kenyan Independence movement.
He was put forward for an American-sponsored scholarship in economics, with the idea being that he would eventually use his Western-honed skills in the new Kenya. At the age of 23 he headed for university in Hawaii, leaving behind the pregnant Kezia and their baby son.
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.

Obama Snr was forced to return to Kenya, where he fathered two more children by Kezia. He was eventually hired as a top civil servant in the fledgling government of Jomo Kenyatta - and married yet again.
Now prosperous with a flashy car and good salary, his third wife was an American-born teacher called Ruth, whom he had met at Harvard while still legally married to both Kezia and Ann, and who followed him to Africa.
A relative of Mr Obama says: "We told him [Barack] how his father would still go to Kezia and it was during these visits that she became pregnant with two more children. He also had two children with Ruth."

Anyone here know where Pastor Wright and Trinity UCC of Chicago stand on....homosexuality?
This is a resume enhancer in the Dimocrap party.
Babymamas be proud.
“....left his little boy and wife behind.....”
Since Obama likes to paint with a broad brush when it comes to whites, I wonder if he would consider Daddy a “typical” black male.
Game. Set. Match.
Well, you can’t pick your parents...but you can pick your minister.
Obambi’s experience with his sperm donor is sadly much the same as the 70% of black births. Lucky he had a white grandma to raise him as his mother ran off as well. Obambi must be a psychologically damaged unit.
Wonder how many love children Rev Wright has? That would be interesting to know.
He’s a con man. Just like Edwards, rewrote his life story to give himself the best chance of succeeding in Chicago politics.
Has probably never been discriminated against a day in his life.
Sounds like Barak’s dad may be the carbon copy of President Clinton.
The ucc's position on homosexuality is to ordain and marry practicing homosexuals.
What were the marriage laws in Hawaii like in 1960? Was it legal to get a marriage license and marry someone while still married to someone else?
The “grandmother” we all see on TV isn’t his real grandmother, but is his grandfather’s third wife. His real grandmother left his grandfather earlier.
Most excellent point!
As that Harlem preacher said "Obama's daddy went a-whoring"...totally accurate. what a low-life who thought only of himself and left a mess behind him. Meanwhile G.W. Bush's father enlisted in the Navy at 17 to get into WWII. What a contrast if Obama gets into the White House.
Yes, and was his man-whoring and abandonment of women "inbred" in his race?
It seems as though Obama suffers from black guilt because he was raised by white people. Hanging with Revrum Wrong helps erase that stigma and creates his new black identity.
To be sure, if his life followed the same path as other out of wedlock minority births, his academic and political accomplishments would have been far different - if existent at all. He owes his very existence to the people who raised him and gave him his identity. Under any other circumstances, he’d be in jail, addicted to crack, impregnating welfare moms or sticking up 7-11’s.
He has sold out his upbringing for racial identity.
