We frequently get asked this question because Barack Obama and Barack Obama's dad share the same name. Barack Obama II (the president) has no sons; he and his wife Michelle have two daughters. But his biological father, Barack Obama (Senior) had at least five sons, who were born in Kenya; and he also had one very famous son who was born in the USA, in Hawaii in 1961. That son, Barack II, grew up to be president. It should be noted that there are internet myths which claim President Obama has a "secret son." He does not.
Barack Obama the president never herded animals. He was born in Hawaii, and spent much of his life there. But his father, also named Barack Obama, grew up in Kenya, and his family did in fact raise goats.
Barack Obama grew up with his mother Ann Dunham, his maternal grandparents Stanley and Madelyn Dunham, and occasionally with his father Barack Obama Sr. Obama's parents divorced when he was young, and he primarily lived with his mother and grandparents.
In this context, modest would be defined as "limited in size, amount, or scope." Essentially, a person growing up in a low to middle class family/environment. Someone that was not born with the "silver spoon in their mouth." You could say, "like that of most people of humble means who grew up" . . . I hope that helps.
No, it is not. In fact, "Obama" is not a Muslim name at all. It is an African family name common to certain people who are part of an ethnic group that resides in Kenya. "Barack" is an Arabic name that means "blessed," and in Africa, there are boys who are Muslims, as well as boys who are not Muslims, who are given that name. Barack Obama's father named him, and the future president never changed the name his father gave him.
George Obama is the half-brother of former United States President Barack Obama. He was born in Nairobi, Kenya and is the youngest of Barack Obama Sr.'s children. George Obama is known for his advocacy work in promoting youth empowerment and tackling poverty in Kenya.
There is no evidence that they ever met. But Barack Obama has said he grew up listening to Michael Jackson's music; in a 2009 interview with the Associated Press, after Michael's death, President Obama said Michael was one of the greatest entertainers of all time, and that he has a number of Michael's hits on his iPod.
