Barack Obama had two grandmothers-- the one who helped to raise him in Hawaii, and with whom he was very close, was his maternal grandmother, Madelyn Dunham. (His nickname for her was "Toot," short for the Hawaiian word for "grandma.") His paternal grandmother lived in Africa; her name was Habiba Akumu Obama.
I BELIEVE THE NICKNAME THAT SHE GAVE BARACK OBAMA WAS BEAR.
Toot, a shortened version of the Hawaiian word for "Grandma".
His nickname for his grandmother was "Toot", a version of the Hawaiian word for grandmother, tutu.
Obama grandmother influences his life
His white grandmother.
No. His maternal grandmother was not born in Hawaii. She was born in Kansas, and so was Barack Obama's mother. Barack Obama's maternal grandparents (Madelyn and Stanley Dunham) moved to Hawaii in the late 1950s and became residents.
Barack Obama
President Obama's grandmother doesn't live in the White House. Michelle Obama's mother sometimes lives with them there & her name is Marian Robinson.
Obama was most influenced by his mother and her mother, is grandmother.

One of his grandmothers (the one on his father's side) lived in Kenya. The other grandmother (the one on his mother's side) lived in Hawaii, where Barack Obama was born; it was this grandmother who helped to raise him and with whom he was close all of his life.
You may be referring to Sarah Obama, who is not really the president's biologically grandmother, but was sometimes called "Granny Sarah" in Barack's family. The president's actual paternal grandmother is Habiba Akumu Obama. The reason many people ask about Sarah, however, has to do with a Birther myth that she said Barack was born in Kenya. She did not say that. The link that refutes this myth is enclosed.

Barack Obama's great-grandmother, Mary Dunham, was not a slave. She was born in 1869, shortly after the end of the American Civil War, which abolished slavery in the United States.
