family background

Obama's father, Obama Sr, is Kenyan, and his mother, ann dunham, is a white female teacher in the United States. Their marriage didn't last long. They only had one child, Obama. Later, Obama lived in Indonesia with his mother and stepfather for four years. Childhood Obama

As children, Obama and his mother ann dunham were born in Wichita, Kansas, and later moved to Hawaii with their parents. In Hawaii, Dunham met and married Kenyan student barack obama (Obama Sr.) and gave birth to a son named Barry, now the new President Obama. This marriage didn't last long, and it ended when Obama Sr left home for further study at Harvard University. Dunham later married Lolo Sutoro, an Indonesian student, and came to Indonesia on 1967, bringing 6-year-old Barry to Indonesia.

Obama returned to Hawaii at the age of 10 to live with his grandparents. Dunham returned to Indonesia from Sutoro with her daughter Maya. Dunham is keen on making Indonesian folk female handicrafts, such as knitting and basket weaving, and has become an expert. Maya is now a professor at the University of Hawaii. Suryakusuma recalled: "We are all mothers. We talked about how sad it is for a mother to be separated from her children, but she (Dunham) is more concerned about Barry's education."

Suryakusuma met the future senator for the first time when Obama went to Indonesia to visit his mother when he was young. She said, "Dunham is proud of him. I remember when Obama became the first editor-in-chief of Harvard Law Review with 50% black blood, Dunham was full of pride. "

After Obama's parents divorced, Obama only met his father once, and then he heard that his father died in a car accident in Kenya in 1982. Although he didn't spend much time with his father, he inherited his father's skin color and became a banner in his political career. His memoir, 1995, was first published as Father's Dream. After entering politics, Obama borrowed his father's name (Barack) and felt his father's brand in the name he was called every day.

Born in a poor village in western Kenya, Obama Sr is a cattle herder. Later, by a very accidental opportunity, he went to the United States to study, got to know Dunham and gave birth to Obama. Obama's grandmother and many relatives still live in that small village. Old Obama 1982 was buried in the village after he died in a car accident. 1992, Obama returned to his hometown for the first time and led his fiancee into the door. Old Obama's life is very complicated. While in Kenya, he married his first wife Kirzia and had two children, a son Roy and a daughter Omar.

According to Obama, my father never really left Cotzia. Dunham, however, said that Obama Sr did separate from Kirzia, but "because this marriage is a rural wedding, there is no document to prove the divorce". The Hawaiian marriage between Obama Sr and Dunham may not have been properly recorded. Obama said in his memoirs, "How and when this marriage began is still unclear. I will never have the courage to figure out some details." After Obama Sr left Dunham and his two-year-old son to study at Harvard, he and another American woman, Ruth, returned to Africa. Ruth became his third wife and gave birth to two sons in Kenya, one of whom died in a car accident. However, Obama Sr also often goes to Cotzia.

However, it is the children who grew up in such a family, but with their own "American dream", step by step towards success. ...
