It turns out Barack Obama was dreaming big right from an early age - at just nine-years-old he announced he was going to be the prime minister of Indonesia.
The episode from a new biography of the president's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, reveals the roots of a hunger for power which has driven Mr Obama's heady rise from an eccentric upbringing in Hawaii and Indonesia to the White House.
It will bring a wry smile to the faces of 'birthers', who are not satisfied he was born in the U.S.
In A Singular Woman: The Untold Story of Barack Obama's Mother, author Janny Scott tells how young Barack - then known by the westernised abbreviation of 'Barry' - was pushed by his mother to reach for the sky right from the start.

Agreed!! I find it eerily strange that this guy from day one has had his records sealed, locked away or just plain lost. Someone from the day he was born had evil plans for this guy.
Not so outrageous per my own experience. When a child in third grade, about 7 years old, in a parochial school, 4grades to a room, the teacher put a list of occupations on the black board and asked us, about 12 students, what we wanted to be when we we grew up. All the others made their choice. The teacher asked me why I didn’t choose and I told her because my occupation wasn’t given. She seemed a bit taken back as I recall but asked what my occupation choice was. I with child’s brashness said President of the USA. She added that to the list. Now the irony of that incident is that later on I learned that because my parents being immigrants and not naturalized neither my brother,(killed on Okinawa)or I a WWII vet were eligible for POTUSA. Somewhere along time that was changed by others for Obama to be POTUSA.

Delusions of grandeur often manifest at an early age.
Too bad he didn’t get the job instead of being POTUS !
