Who does Barack Obama care about?
Based on his writings and interviews, Barack Obama has repeatedly said he cares a lot about his wife and daughters. He also cares about his half-sister, with whom he keeps in touch, and he cares about his close friends from back when he was living and working in Chicago. Also, as president, he cares about his country, and he cares about people who are still struggling financially. When his grandmother and mother were still alive, he cared deeply about them both, since they were largely responsible for raising him.
Are Barack Obama's siblings welcome at the White House?
Absolutely. But the ones who live in Africa (from his father's side of the family) don't come to the US very much. He does keep in touch with his step-sister, however; she has been living and working in Hawaii, along with her husband.
What was Barack Obama Sr famous for?
Barack Obama Senior was never famous during his lifetime. A talented but troubled economist (with a drinking problem), he was later known for being the biological father of President Obama. He was not much of a presence in young Barack's life, something which continued to bother the future president for years. Barack Senior is the subject of the book "Dreams from my Father," in which President Obama tells about his journey to Africa to meet his late father's relatives and to try and understand why his father abandoned the family and never kept in touch.
Why doesn't Obama seem to have any friends from college?
That is actually a myth spread by Donald Trump, who claimed nobody knew Barack Obama in college. But that is demonstrably false: as an undergraduate, he was written about in a publication at Columbia in New York, and Time magazine even had a photo spread of him back when he was studying at Occidental College in Los Angeles. And as a grad student at Harvard, he was elected editor of a prestigious law journal. There are a number of people who remember Mr. Obama from college and have said so; he is still in touch with a few of them. But it is worth noting that not everyone made a lot of friends while they were in college-- I certainly didn't, and I assume I am not the only one to say that; so if Barack Obama did not have many college friends, that is not very unusual.
How did Barack Obama handle his father's death?
Based on his writings (the book "Dreams from my Father"), Mr. Obama was disappointed that his father died, because even though he barely knew the man, there were still questions he wished he could have asked-- especially about why his father had abandoned him and shown so little interest, and why he had not kept in touch at all over the years. His father's death led Mr. Obama to decide to visit Kenya for the first time, to try and get his questions answered by talking with his father's immediate relatives.
What color is Barack Obama?
Oh, what a lovely question! Barack Obama's skin tone is a beautiful shade of brown, like rich cocoa mixed with a touch of honey. Just imagine the warm glow of a sunset on a summer evening, that's the color of his skin. It's important to appreciate and celebrate the diverse range of colors that make up our world.
Who are Barack Obama's siblings when older?
By most accounts, the one sibling he is in regular contact with is his half-sister Maya (from his mother's side of the family), who lives in Hawaii. She attended both of his inaugurations and he visits her when he is in Hawaii on vacation. He has some half-siblings who are from his father's side and live in Kenya, but he does not seem to be as close to them. One half-brother (Malik) attended his wedding in 1992 and there are reports that they keep in touch sporadically.
