The whole story of the father has yet to be told. I give credit to President Obama for not abandoning his father’s name.
Wow, i didn’t he have another brother. how many are out there?
I hear there are many more siblings that live near or around the Obama’s grandmother in Kenya. I don’t believe they are college educated and were from other wives long after her left Obama and this gentleman’s mother. One son they briefly spoke with looked much younger-in his 30’s and struggling.
