I'm still trying to sort out the Obama clans family values--in case you missed it-
Found in a rundown Boston estate: Barack Obama?s aunt Zeituni Onyango
Barack Obama has lived one version of the American Dream that has taken him to the steps of the White House. But a few miles from where the Democratic presidential candidate studied at Harvard, his Kenyan aunt and uncle, immigrants living in modest circumstances in Boston, have a contrasting American story.
Zeituni Onyango, the aunt so affectionately described in Mr Obama?s best-selling memoir Dreams from My Father, lives in a disabled-access flat on a rundown public housing estate in South Boston.
In his memoir Mr Obama describes the joy of meeting his father?s family during his first visit to Kenya in 1988. Aunt Zeituni, then a computer programmer at Kenya Breweries in Nairobi, is portrayed as a feisty woman who proclaims herself ?the champion dancer?. Uncle Omar, by contrast, remains a mysterious figure who left for America and never came back. At one point in the book a half-sister tells Mr Obama that people ?like our Uncle Omar, in Boston? move to the West.
?They promise to return after completing school. They say they?ll send for the family once they get settled. At first they write once a week. Then it?s just a month. Then they stop writing completely. No one sees them again.?
Aunt Zeituni and Uncle Omar are the children of Mr Obama?s grandfather Hussein Onyango Obama, by his third wife ? the woman Mr Obama calls ?Granny? because she raised his father. Mr Obama?s father, Barack Sr, was Onyango Obama?s son by his second wife, Akumu. That makes Zeituni and Omar a half-sister and half-brother of Mr Obama?s father, or Mr Obama?s half-aunt and half-uncle.
His genetics make me think of one of those test questions to test concentration levels
