President Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, so the rest of the question is meaningless. But for those 19% of Americans who are "birthers" and insist the president was born in Kenya, it was his FATHER (who has the same name as the president) who was Kenyan. The president's mom was born in Kansas and raised in California, Texas, Washington State and then Hawaii. There is no evidence she was ever in Kenya.
His father was born in Africa (Kenya); his mother was born in Kansas. Thus, President Obama, who was born in Hawaii, is African-American.

Barack Obama is African-American. His father was born in Africa (in the country of Kenya) and his mother was born in the USA, in Kansas. His parents met in Hawaii, where both were studying, and that is where the future president was born. In his family tree on his mother's side, his relatives are English and Irish, and on his father's side, they are mainly from Kenya. Mr. Obama is also biracial, since his father was black and his mother was white.
His mother became an anthropologist, specializing in the culture of Indonesia. His biological father was an economist, who ultimately worked for the government of Kenya. But the future president was mainly raised by his grandmother in Hawaii; she worked for a bank in Honolulu.
