Obama got a lot of travel on his claim he was raised by a single mom in a racist culture. Truth of the matter is his mom remarried before he was even potty trained and was raised in Indonesia.
Obama was not raised by his mother..
His nanny was an openly gay man who, in keeping with Indonesia’s relaxed attitudes toward homosexuality, carried on an affair with a local butcher, longtime residents said. The nanny later joined a group of transvestites called Fantastic Dolls, who, like the many transvestites who remain fixtures of Jakarta’s streetscape, entertained people by dancing and playing volleyball.
