By most accounts, Barack Obama's biological father was not very interested in his son. He left the family when Barack was only two, and Barack only saw him one other time in his life. This always puzzled him-- he even wrote a book about it years, later, "Dreams from My Father," as he tried to understand why his father seemed to have so little desire to play a role in his life. But his mother really encouraged him, read to him, tried to get him to study, and when she could not take care of him because she was working on finishing her education, she arranged for Barack to live with her parents (Barack's grandparents). It was his maternal grandparents who raised him for much of his life. Mr. Obama has said he will always be grateful to his mother and his grandmother for being such important influences on him.
