DOGS THAT BARK;2064280]Speaking of family
Scott--
how well do you (or anyone else)know your candidate.
Maybe you could answer a few simple questions for us voters--
- -lets start at the beginning
-What date were his parents married
On Feb. 2, 1961, several months after they met, Obama's parents got married in Maui, according to divorce records. It was a Thursday
-How long did they live together
Close to 3 years.
-What date were they divorced
Ann filed for divorce in Honolulu in January 1964, Obama Sr. signed for the papers in Cambridge, Mass., and did not contest the divorce.
-Name his brothers and sisters--or you can just tell us how many--if that would be easier.
Bill Clinton and Franklin Delano Roosevelt each had a half-brother. And Gerald Ford had six half-siblings through second marriages of his mother and father.
But Obama's immediate family is certainly one of the more complex in presidential history.
He has eight half-siblings -- seven of them living -- by four other marriages or relationships of his parents.
His father, Barack Obama Sr., had four children by a woman he married in Kenya before his 1960 marriage to Obama's mother in Hawaii. Two of those children -- son Abongo (Roy} and daughter Auma -- were born before Barack Obama Jr.
After Obama Sr. divorced Obama's mother, he married another American woman he brought to Kenya and had two more sons -- Mark and David, who was killed in a motorcycle accident. That marriage ended in divorce, after Obama Sr. resumed his relationship with his first wife.
The elder Obama had two other sons -- Abo and Bernard -- by his first wife, though Obama wrote in his memoirs that there is some question whether another man actually fathered Bernard.
Obama Sr. later had another son, George, by a woman he was involved with but apparently did not marry.
As for Obama's mother, the former Stanley Ann Dunham, she had a daughter, Maya Soetoro-Ng, from a second marriage to Lolo Soetoro

Wow that took me 10 minutes to look up. Not sure what your point would be. I am sure it is in some way trying to make Obama look bad for his family in some way. And we all know that your family is something you have no control over.
At least you didn't call him boy.
Can I ask you a few questions now about your candidate John McCain ?
