Answer 3

Barack Obama was born in Honolulu on August 4, 1961. He lived there for the first five years of his life. By the time he was five, his mother had re-married (her first husband, Barack's biological father, had left them and they ultimately got divorced). Her new husband was from Indonesia, and the family moved there for four years. Barack then came back to Hawaii and lived with his maternal grandparents, from about 1971 till 1979 when he graduated from high school. So, he lived in Hawaii most of his childhood and youth, except for a four-year period when he lived in Indonesia.
