As far as I can discover there is no relation between them and Jr.
Never mind, I just found a post from explaining who they are.
“As far as I can discover there is no relation between them and Jr.”
Sure, there is!
“In June, 1959, at the age of 23, Obama Sr. became the first African student enrolled at the University of Hawaii...
at Manoa.”
“On Sept 26,1960, Stanley Ann began classes at the University of Hawaii, and began an intimate relationship with Barack Obama Sr. almost immediately.”

Don’t you see the connection?
Both Obama parents were students at the university
where Prof. Lefforge taught!
Perhaps, they were even his students!
(does anyone know if he taught Russian?)
Of course, that also provides the possibility that Lefforge took them in....
or, rented them a room...
or even, perhaps had taken pity on a very pregnant young student, whose “husband” had left all alone, having returned to his home country...and his other wife.
Maybe, Orland and Thelma were just helping the girl out.
Perhaps, there had even been some hint that she’d be giving the baby up...or worse.
Perhaps, the Lefforge’s were considering taking the child.
Heck! I don’t know!
But, you must admit....when you think about it, there are
many possibilities.
So, where’s our detective minds, eh?
