Parents of Barack Obama
Virtually everything we know about Barack Obama’s parents, his early years and life itself comes from the senator himself. Barack Obama has told his story in Dreams from My Father (Three Rivers Press, 2004), The Audacity of Hope (Crown Publishers, 2006). And in regards to his Christian beliefs during a 2004 Chicago Sun Times interview with Cathleen Falsani. Why do we have to believe only Barack Obama’s words about his past? Aren’t there other witnesses? Barack Obama the great unknown.
Did you know that there are over 3000 Google searches a day on Parent’s of Barack Obama. People wanting to know who are the parents of Barack Obama. Are Barack Obama’s parents alive or dead? Unfortunately, the answer to the question are Barack Obama’s parents dead or alive?Barack Obama’s Parents have passed away. Barack’s father first, and then Obama’s Mother a few years back from cancer.
Would it have been nice to meet and talk with the parent’s of Barack Obama? Yes it would, though being parents, it’s not like they would give an honest opinion of Barack Obama. I’m sure both would over look Obama’s bad traits, and support his son in his run for the presidency.
Now is there any information that is really important about Barack Obama’s Parents that should affect Barack Obama’s run for president?
There is one, Andy Martin says,
“Why has Barack Obama been lying for decades about the ‘marriage’ of his parents when he knew full well he was lying? There was no marriage. How can anyone vote for Obama for president when Obama is so cowardly he can’t tell the truth to the American people?
Now this accusation is one of merit. A person can be better than his parents. So talk of whether is parents were or weren’t muslims, or if his mother was or wasn’t a racist can probably be ignored.
But the accusation that Obama has lied about his parents is a big one. Why couldn’t he just tell the truth?
I dont think that Baracks parentage is necessary to be stated apart from the nationality aspect of running for the US presidency.
It does look as if his parents were not married,it happens and see what GOD has done despite it all….?! Abraham also fathered a son outside wedlock and he knew the plan that God had, as did other patriachs in the bible did things that some of us feel the need to look down on.
I am more concerened about McCains own qualification to run seeing as he was not even born on any of the mainland, I think by your history of states included Haiwai was the last on to be included in the Union?!

It doesn’t matter to me whether he was born out of wedlock or not. The point that I am trying to make is that regardless of his parentage he lied to us.
With so many people born out of wedlock these days why did he have to keep it a secret? why did he lie? why is Obama always trying to hide things?
That alone, I think, tells more about the character of the person.
As for McCain being born down in Panama, to U.S. citizens, no qualification issues there. He’s a citizen. Just like Obama is a citizen. Its a non issue in the campaign.
What is an issue, is the integrity of the leaders we choose to run the country.
