To many in this crowd Obama's Asian-American half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, represents yet another aspect of Obama's identity that makes him unique as a presidential candidate, although it has been underplayed amid the excitement surrounding his shot at becoming the first black president.

"It would be the first time that the first family is comprised in part of Asian-Americans _ as well as African-Americans, of course," said Keith Kamisugi, a coordinator with Asian-Americans for Obama. In early June he organized a fundraiser along with two other Obama events focusing on Asian-American voters in San Francisco.

His birth father had several wives at this same time. Is that where this half-sister comes from? Or is this from father number two?

Is she an American citizen?

The whole world likes to influence our elections but any efforts at dabbling in foreign policy with other countries is always called "meddling" and "imperialism".

Half sister through Barak’s mom and his Indonesian step-dad. I presume she’s an American citizen.
