The Obama family is very diverse, religiously, geographically, and ethnically. Barack Obama's mom and maternal grandparents (who helped to raise him) in Hawaii were white Protestant Christians; he and his wife Michelle are raising their two daughters as liberal/moderate Protestants. Mr. Obama's biological dad was African, an atheist from Kenya. Many relatives on his dad's side were Muslims, but it is not clear whether they were religious; Mr. Obama did not meet them until he was in his early 20s and visited Kenya. First Lady Michelle Obama was raised as a Protestant, but she has a cousin who is a famous rabbi (Jewish); and President Obama has a half-sister who was born in Indonesia and is a Buddhist.

Does Barack Barack Obama Bake?

Mr. Obama has spoken about doing some cooking now and then (he enjoys making chili), but he has not said much about whether he does any baking. Given that he and his family live at the White House, they have an official chef, and the meals are made for the Obama family. But back in Chicago, Mr. Obama has said he sometimes helped with the cooking.

Did Barack Obama have another name?

Yes. It is Hussein, the same as Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., his father, for whom he is named: President Barack Hussein Obama, II. It should be noted that while in America, the name "Hussein" reminds some people of the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, in many other countries, it is a very common name (like John or Joseph) and has no bad meanings at all in those countries. President Obama inherited the name from his biological father and had no say in it.
