Barack Hussein OBAMA was born on 4 August 1961 at the Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein OBAMA, Sr. of Nyangoma-Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya, and Ann DUNHAM of Wichita, Kansas. His parents met while both were attending the East-West Center of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where his father was enrolled as a foreign student. When Barack Obama was two years old, his parents divorced and his father moved to Connecticut to continue his education before returning to Kenya.
When Obama was six, his mother married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian oil manager and moved to Jakarta, Indonesia. Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro was born after the family moved to Indonesia. Four years later she sent him back to the United States to live with his maternal grandmother.
Barack Obama graduated from Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he met his future wife, Michelle Robinson. They have two daughters, Malia and Sasha.
hope this helps.
g-day!

His parents got divorced when he was two. Then his mother then married some guy from Indonesia. They lived in Indonesia until Obama was 10 then he went back to Hawaii to live with his grandparents.

You heard wrong. He could not run for President if he wasn't a natural born citizen.
His father was an immigrant from Kenya.

If he were not a native-born United States citizen then he would not have been allowed to run for President.
Thank you for playing. We have some wonderful parting gifts for you.

(Hillary is much more of a Man than Barak Hussein Obama.)
