7. Obama Sr. was born in 1936 and died in 1982. So that would make him 46 when he died.

5. Wow..what a sad and

traumatic way to leave this Earth. Obama Senior sure was busy in his short time here and he sounds brilliant.

13. ?

I'm not trying to take a jab at him or anything. He died in poverty and was an alcoholic at the time. Just giving context to Obama Jr.'s elitest background.

12. Twisted facts

I stopped reading when the author claimed Barack Obama Sr. was a bigamist. He wasn't legally divorced. Big difference.
