Barack Obama’s parents have become famous in U.S. history due to the significant role they played in their son’s life. Barack Obama Sr. was a Kenyan economist who left when the younger Obama was a toddler. Ann Dunham was a scientist who studied people and their cultures. She worked in Indonesia, where Obama Jr. lived during his childhood.
Ann Dunham was an anthropologist whose job was to help women get small loans to start businesses. In reality, it was to identify Communists for extermination by the Suharto government. She worked for the CIA under the guise of working for USAID and the Ford Foundation, both CIA fronts. Obama lived there with her from the ages of six to ten.
While Obama Sr. left the family permanently, Dunham also left him. After her son was born, she relocated to Seattle to pursue her studies at the University of Washington. They met up with Obama Sr. again in 1962, a year before he left for Kenya. Obama Sr. also attempted to persuade Dunham and Obama Jr. to move with him in the 1970s, but they refused.
Her son was not born in Hawaii. He was likely born in Vancouver, B.C. Obama Sr. never saw his son because Ann Dunham left Hawaii in early 1961. She was never seen pregnant there, and did not return until August 1962, when her son was one year old. She had finished one year at the University of Washington. Obama Sr., who is not his real father, left Hawaii two months earlier in June 1962.
Barack Obama’s mother was known as Ann Dunham when she was an adult, but her name was Stanley Dunham when she was a child. She believed her father, Stanley Dunham, named her after himself after he got over being disappointed that she was a daughter and not a son.
She knew her father named her after himself because he wanted a son.
When Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Sr. got married, they kept their marriage a secret. The wedding coincided with other significant news. Dunham was pregnant with Barack Obama Jr., who was born six months later.
They were never married, despite her claims. No marriage license has ever existed in Hawaii. When Obama Sr. landed in Hawaii, he left behind in Kenya a wife, Kezia, and two children. Although no marriage license exists, there is a divorce in 1964. She had to prove to immigration that she was not married so that she could marry Lolo Soetoro and move to Indonesia.
Dunham and Obama Sr. got married in February 1961, when marrying someone of a different race was against the law in some states.
They were not married, and “no” it was not illegal to marry someone of a different race in Hawaii in 1961. Unlike many other U.S. states at the time, Hawaii never enacted anti-miscegenation laws, and interracial marriage was legal.
The 44th U.S. president isn’t the only Obama to have graduated from Harvard University. Barack Obama’s father got a Master’s degree in Economics from the same school in the early 1960s.
Obama Sr. got his undergraduate degree in Hawaii. He then went to Harvard to study for a Master’s degree in Economics and a PhD. However, Harvard refused to allow him to finish his thesis there because of his behavior and sent him home even though he had finished all his class work. He could not have graduated without finishing his thesis, although he did call himself Dr. Obama when he returned to Kenya.
His low life of chasing women caused the university to force him to leave. Harvard refused to extend his stay. A redacted letter tells how he got a teenage exchange student pregnant, sent her to England for an abortion, and she was not allowed back into the country.

The first and only time he saw his alleged son was on a return trip to Hawaii in 1971, when Barack was ten. Barack took him to school for “Show and Tell.”
Obama Sr. moved to the U.S. to study, planning to return to his home country to help build its government after Kenya gained independence in 1963. He put that goal above everything else, even his family.
He returned to Kenya in 1964, secured a position as a government economist, and later advanced to the role of senior economist. He seemed to be doing well. However, Obama Sr. disagreed with President Jomo Kenyatta’s economic approach from the outset — and he wasn’t shy about expressing his views.
Obama Sr.’s sharp tongue didn’t endear him to the Kenyatta administration. He wasn’t getting the promotions he thought he deserved. As the older Obama saw his dreams slip away, his behavior became increasingly erratic.
He started drinking a lot and driving without thinking. After Kenyatta died in 1978, Obama Sr. secured a position with the Ministry of Finance. “But I think he never got over how upset he was about what had happened to him,” his son said. He died in a car accident in 1982.
He had three car accidents while drunk. The second one caused him to lose both legs, and he died in the third one.
Barack Obama thinks his mother was a victim of a bad healthcare system. Ann Dunham was diagnosed with ovarian (a woman’s female reproductive organ) and uterine (the womb) cancer in 1995. She had just moved back to the U.S. from Indonesia, where she had been told she had indigestion the previous year but it was wrong.
Dunham, who had divorced Soetoro in 1980, was diagnosed with cancer in 1994 in Jakarta, Indonesia, and delayed treatment until she returned to Hawaii in 1995.
In her final months, Dunham dealt with paperwork to see if her cancer would be considered a pre-existing condition.
Dunham died in November 1995, a few months after she was diagnosed with the illness. Obama could never separate her insurance loophole from the fact that she died at 52. In his 2020 memoir, “A Promised Land,” Obama wrote: “Passing a healthcare bill wouldn’t bring my mom back.”
Ann Dunham was diagnosed a year earlier. Obama lied in his speeches about how she was a victim of the medical insurance industry. He pumped that lie up during his quest to pass Obamacare. His mother had full health care coverage when she died; she was fighting with Cigna over “disability insurance” in a dispute over several hundred dollars a month in deductibles and other uncovered medical costs. At the time, she had a job paying $85,000 a year, health insurance, and a company car.
Prove me wrong.
