President Barack Obama lived the first five years of his childhood in Honolulu, Hawaii. His father abandoned the family when young Barack was only two, and his parents ultimately got divorced. His mother remarried, and the family moved to Indonesia for four years. After that, Barack returned to Hawaii and was raised by his maternal grandparents, with whom he was very close. He has said that while his childhood was generally happy, he never understood why his father left.
