Obama was born August 4, 1961 to Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham in Honolulu, Hawaii. His parents divorced when he was two years old. Afterward his mother remarried and they resettled in Indonesia until he was 10. He later returned to Hawaii to live with his grandparents. In the book Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality, Jerome Corsi describes how Obama “…did his best to fit in socially, while struggling to make modest grades.” In his biography Obama describes his “hazy” memory of high school, filled with drug abuse and severe alcohol consumption. This begs the question of how someone who struggled with school and was considered a procrastinator made it into the Harvard law program. Obama also earned a degree at Columbia University in 1983. In his biographies he refers to his drug use as “a search for identity”. He connects his race with inexcusable behaviors? Yet in interviews with a friend from high school named Keith Kakugawa (identified in his biography as “Ray”) he says “Barry’s biggest struggles were with his feelings of abandonment. The idea that his biggest struggle was race is (bull).” So why would he lie about his struggles and background in high school? Is he trying to gain racial sympathy?
After he earned a degree in law Obama began his practice as a civil rights lawyer and then went on to teach constitutional law. In 2004 he was elected into the US senate. Obama met his wife, Michelle, in 1989 while employed in a small Chicago law firm. After they were married they had two children Malia and Natasha. One of the highlights of Obama’s platform is finding alternate sources of fuel for our country and of course “change” for our country as he is critically opposed to all things George Bush.
