Re: I thought he was killed in a wreck because he was driving drunk

According to his daughter, Auma, Senior was an alcoholic who was extremely found of Scotch”. He killed a man in a drunk driving accident in the early 1970’s.

In 1982, Obama Senior killed himself in an alcohol-related car accident in Kenya, leaving three wives, one mistress, six sons and a daughter — there is also the possibility of an eight progeny via the mistress.

Although Obama claims Obama Senior was an atheist, Obama Senior was buried as a Muslim. The rival families of Obama’s late father are still suing each other over his meager estate.

One of Senior’s former drinking partners, Kenyan writer Philip Ochieng said that his friend’s downfall was his weak character. In fact he was a menace to life, said Ochieng. “He had many extremely serious accidents. Both his legs had to be amputated. They were replaced with crude false limbs made from iron.

“He was just like Mr. Toad [from Wind In The Willows], very arrogant on the road, especially when he had whisky inside. I was not surprised when I learned how he died.”

“Although charming, generous and extraordinarily clever, Senior was also imperious, cruel and given to boasting about his brain and his wealth,” he said.

“He was excessively fond of Scotch. He had fallen into the habit of going home drunk every night. His boasting proved his undoing and left him without a job, plunged him into prolonged poverty and dangerously wounded his ego.”

The Daily Mail quotes a relative of Obama as saying, “We told him [Obama] 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.” [Kids 5 and 6]

According to the Daily Mail, even after losing both legs in the car accident, Obama senior fathered yet another son, his eighth child, [Okay, they got me, that would only be 7 by my count. Not sure old BHO, Sr. was keeping a close count either] by yet another woman, and “continued to come home drunk.”

Regardless of the motives, in “Dreams from my Father” Obama never states precisely how many wives his father had, or how many half-brothers and -sisters he has from different mothers, whether married to his father or not.

This is the guy who Obama romanticized in his first book, writing, “It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself...”

Some role model — Senior was a serial bigamist. He abandoned all of his his wives and children. He became a wife-beater and drunk. His arrogance destroyed his government career. He killed a man and lost both legs in alcohol-related accidents and eventually killed himself behind the wheel — hammered.
