Was Obama's step-father part of the reason Obama came to Chicago?
This is very unlikely. Barack Obama's step-father mainly lived in Indonesia. According to his own writings, Mr. Obama went to Chicago because he was offered a job that he found meaningful, working with the Catholic Church to fight poverty. This is also verified by one of the priests who recruited him for a new agency that was intended to improve the lives of Chicago's poor. I enclose a link to an article about that priest.
