Filed under: Scandals, Law, Barack Obama, Drugs, Larry Sinclair, Daniel Parisi, WhiteHouse.com

As Larry Sinclair, the Minnesota man who claims to have used drugs with Sen. Barack Obama in 1999, has ratcheted up his legal wrangling, it appears he’s having some success.

Sinclair told Big Head DC on Monday evening that he’s been notified by WhiteHouse.com’s Dan Parisi to redeposit a check Parisi wrote for $20,000 to Sinclair on February 22. The payment was in exchange for Sinclair taking a polygraph test that was to be displayed on WhiteHouse.com.

A PolyScore computer analysis resulting from the polygraph ultimately indicated Sinclair had been truthful regarding his drug allegations against Obama. Still, experts hired by WhiteHouse.com discounted the PolyScore results.

Parisi canceled payment on the check soon after Sinclair took the polygraph, leading many observers who’ve been swayed by Sinclair’s claims to believe that Parisi may have been compelled by Obama’s campaign to somehow impede Sinclair’s claims. Adding to the controversy, WhiteHouse.com officials eventually removed any mention of Sinclair from the Web site.

The re-issue of the check has not yet cleared, but bank information should be available soon.

    Hey Folks: I just donated to Larry Sinclairs legal fund. Not because I am taking sides, but rather I want the truth. This is the only way the truth here is going to be told. Instead of donating to the Obama’s campaign, I donated for Sinclair’s fund so the MSM would finally respond to this. Please do the same.

    I’m going to say this once -

    The truth doesn’t cost $5000. The truth is in a limo driver that supposedly exists but refuses to be brought forward. IF you cared about the truth, you would make Larry prove his charges. You don’t.

    Does anyone know what this “suit” is? Is this a “I’m suing everyone who said something mean about me but I still won’t prove my charge” kind of thing? If so, that’s not “the truth”, that’s revenge.

    And if Larry is getting $20,000 from WhiteHouse don’t you think he could now pay for that himself?

    I’m not going to bother sticking around for the larrytard chorus - I can sing it in my sleep and there will be no new verses written.

    Enjoy your lynching party.

    Several experts have reviewed the results of the lie detector test, and all agree - Larry Sinclair lied. Given his many convictions for fraud, drugs, and smuggling people across the Mexican border, it’s not much of a surprise that he would lie about this, especially with so much money at stake.

    You Paul Day may claim whatever you wish, and you can continue to post alleged comments by me that in fact have originated with you and your buddies bobneck et.al… But for someone who says there is no truth in this you sure have spent a great deal of time defending Obama from what you say are baseless claims. If bases, why are you online 24/7 fighting and posting lie after lie trying to defend Obama?

    I don’t buy that Lorenzo. That’s not how these things are done. Larry can’t sue Obama for having sex with him and doing drugs. In order to prove the charges , Larry has to come out with evidence and go to the MSM. The court case has nothing to do with Larry’s original claim - it is about Larry claiming that Obama has tried to smear and/or kill him since the charges came out.

    Question.

    I want to support Larry, but after doing my research (I always do my research before making a donation), I found this article.

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/03/AR2007050302233_pf.html

    One was Florida, where the state bar was seeking to yank his license for at least two years. He was found guilty in absentia (in part for being a “vexatious litigant” and now faces suspension if not disbarment. “He is someone who abuses the legal process,” says Barnaby Min, counsel for the Florida Bar.

    The second was in Montgomery County, where he was to stand trial for failing to pay $11,218.20 in past-due rent on office space in Gaithersburg for a tiny shipping-crate company he heads. That trial was continued.

    Something is amiss here, and we haven’t even gotten to the part where he sued the U.S. Supreme Court for treason (twice!), asking for $1 million in damages. Or that he spent 77 days in a Miami jail for refusing to pay child support. Or that Maryland has stopped him from running a law office in the state. Or that federal prosecutors in Palfrey’s case say Sibley’s filings are so ignorant of basic legal tenets that they are “almost incoherent.”

    All of this is bad, because it also means we haven’t even mentioned “Big Pimping Pappy” yet.

    Are we sure this is the best attorney for Larry? He does not seem to bring much credibility to the case. I am worried for Larry. How do we know this guy won’t try to screw Larry like Parisi? He doesn’t seem like the most trustworthy man.

    Larry, again smart move on your attorney. He is the best choice, eccentric, already in the MSM with the DC Madam, and with this Spitzer story burning hot, all such stories are game now. I’ll bet Parisi is having 2nd, 3rd and 4th thoughts about giving you your money. The hand writing is on the wall. Obama and everybody with him is going down. Spitzer sealed their fate today. You hang in there and keep fighting we are with you. If Parisi delivers, that’s proof positive that you are on the right track.BTW what happened that they doubled your up front money before the test? That has always been telling to me. Don’t be concerned about the negative people here: they don’t know any better. Stay safe, remember Donald.

    It’s going to take a lot more than $5000.00 to fight this case. The truth is, it’s going to take more than $20,000.00 too. Obama has plenty of money, he can keep this locked down for a long time. Additionally, the $20k was going to help Sinclair’s mother.

    Nevertheless, like Samuel, I just donated too. I want to know the truth before the election if there is anything to this story or not.

    Also, I was a little spectical about this story until the WH.com issue came about. After that, I am sure Sinclair was set up. Timing is everything… WH.com went from porn site to political site the same month, Sinclair’s video airs on youtube. The totally exposed themselves, with the way they handled the issue. Never produced any evidence, like second expect report (actually the only expect), the expert they hired was a fake. As soon as Sinclair started singing, the closed down the site.

    Montgomery Blair Sibley may be a little eccentric, but none of us are perfect. The fact is, the DC Madam was suppressed and set up. CEO, Elected government officials used her services. Then got busted, that case is still on going. Much like Elliot Spitzer did today!

    Barack Obama campaign is hiding something. Obama’s friends are buying domains in Sinclair’s name, Dan Parisi owns another of domain in Sinclair’s name. Obama remains quiet. The more I investigate this story, the more interesting it becomes.

    Yes, I donated… why? By getting a high profile lawyer like Sibley, the media will follow him and in turn bring light to this story. Only then comes the truth.

    If Parisi pays the check then Larry no longer has a legal complaint and no reason to keep posting here under fake names asking for money. His complaints against the Obama campaign are a joke and I doubt they’ll ever even be filed. He has wild allegations of conpiracy and threats but not the slightest evidence for any of it. Even if he does manage to get a hold of come crayons and scribble out another one of his illiterate, incoherent complaints, it will just get tossed again like the other one. I’m amazed he’s managed to keep tapdancing this long after his story was over but I guess he’ll keep going as long as people are stupid enough to keep sending him money (which I don’t believe they have, “Samuel” is clearly a Larry sock puppet).

    “We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian… Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain “true to our native land,” the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.”

    Look - I don’t know why people are putting emphasis on this polyscore thing on the second question about drugs. Manually scored it met the threshold for deception by both experts and there would be more of a case for Larry being truthful if the first question about the blowjob didn’t come out as a BIG FAT WHOPPER (no, not talking about a penis or a burger Larry - fan yourself and drink a pepsi).

    That the first question was clearly a lie - well his whole story is predicated on the BJ and Crack thing. Can’t have crack without a BJ. Every gay man knows that - no BJ first, no crack - quid pro quo.

    In other news, I hear they have found traces of anti-depressants in the water - affecting 51 Americans. Let’s hope they up the dose if Clinton gets elected

    Obama’s Ancestry

    ——————————————————————————–

    This document is evolving ~ submit additions and/or corrections via the “feedback” link.

    year
    event

    1936
    Barack Hussein Obama Sr. (Senior) was born in Nyangoma-Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya. He is a member of the Luo tribe and grew up in the sleepy village of Alego-Kogello.

    Senior’s father is Hussein Onyango Obama (Grandfather). He was born about 1895 and died in 1979. He is a prominent and wealthy farmer.

    Grandfather lived for a time in Zanzibar, where he converted from Christianity to Islam. He was one of the first Muslim converts in his village.

    Grandfather, for whom Obama was given the middle name, Hussein, was “fiercely devoted to Islam.” He had at least 3 wives: Helima, who had no children, Akuma who gave birth to Sarah Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. and Auma Obama.

    “What your grandfather respected was strength — discipline.” Obama quoted his grandmother, Sarah, as telling him. “This is also why he rejected the Christian religion.

    “For a brief time, he converted, and even changed his name to Johnson. But he could not understand such ideas as mercy towards your enemies, or that this man Jesus could wash away a man’s sins.”

    “To your grandfather, this was foolish sentiment, something to comfort women,” she added. “And so he converted to Islam — he thought its practices conformed more closely to his beliefs.”

    Grandfather had several wives. His first wife was Helima, with whom he had no children. Second, he married Akuma and they had Sarah Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. and Auma Obama.

    Grandfather’s third wife was Sarah, the one often referred to by Obama as his “grandmother.” She is not a blood relative and describes herself as a lifelong Muslim. “I am a strong believer of the Islamic faith,” she says.

    Sarah was the primary caregiver for Senior after his mother, Akuma, left the family when her children were still young.

    1943
    Stanley Ann (Anna) Dunham is born in Wichita, Kansas to Stanley and Madelyn Dunham and would eventually live in 13 different places.

    Stanley Dunham worked on oil rigs during the Depression. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, he signed up for service in World War II and marched across Europe in Patton’s army. Madelyn Dunham went to work on a bomber assembly line.

    As an historical aside, Anna Dunham’s forebears were slaveholders, one of Obama’s great-great-great-great grandfathers, George Washington Overall, owned two slaves who were recorded in the 1850 Census in Nelson County, Ky. The same records show that one of Obama’s great-great-great-great-great-grandmothers, Mary Duvall, also owned two slaves.

    1955
    At 18, Barack Hussein Obama Sr. (Senior) marries a girl called Kezia from the local village. It was Kezia who remained his one true love and to whom he always returned.

    She was a 16-year-old schoolgirl while Senior, two years older, had just got his first proper job as an office clerk in Nairobi.

    Kezia said: “It was at a dance in Kendu Bay, my home town. Barack (Senior) was there on holiday with his family.

    “I went to the dance hall with my cousin William and I saw Barack enter the room. I thought, ‘ohhh, wow’. He was so lovely with his dancing. So handsome and so smart.

    “We danced together and then the next day my cousin came to our house and told me that Barack liked me.

    “It was December, so I was off school. Each day Barack and my cousin would stop by the house.

    “Every time I looked they were always there, trying to convince me to go with Barack to Nairobi.

    “About a week later, William and I took Barack to the station. We were going to say: ‘Bye bye, see you next time.’ Except there was no bye bye.

    “When the train arrived William and Barack said, “You are going to Nairobi.” I went with him.’

    Her father, a local driver, was furious.

    Kezia said: “He did not like Obama. My father and brothers came to Nairobi to bring me back. They said I had to go back to school.

    “When I wouldn’t, they said they would never speak to me again.

    “Barack was also worried about what his father (grandfather) would think because I was so young, but he gave us his approval. He sent my mother and father 14 cows for my dowry.

    Kezia and Barack Sr. set up home in Jericho, a section of Nairobi created for government employees, and began a family.

    First son Roy was born in March 1958. Kezia insisted: “Barack was a good husband.”

    Can you imagine if a Republican was running for president and it came out that his father had bought his first wife for 14 cows???!!!Just wow!!

    Eventually, Senior will have three wives and one mistress. With them, he will have seven children, although there are some reports of an eighth.

    1958
    Senior was awarded an American sponsored scholarship in economics to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He was selected by a former Kenyan cabinet minister, the late Tom Mboya, who was earmarked as the successor to Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya’s first prime minister and leader of the terrorist Mau Mau.

    The presumption was that Senior would return to Africa and use his “Western-honed skills in a new Kenya.”

    At the age of 23, Obama Sr. left behind his pregnant wife Kezia and their children to become the first African student enrolled at the University of Hawaii.

    1958
    Senior arrives at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

    Kezia, who is pregnant, remains in Kenya. Senior would have two more children with Kezia in subsequent years.

    1959 Anna, Obama’s mother and a strong-willed, unconventional member of the Mercer Island High School graduating class of 1960, touted herself as an atheist.

    She was the curious and precocious daughter of a father who wanted a boy so badly that he named her Stanley — after himself.

    The Dunhams moved to Seattle in the mid-50’s and Anna was greatly influenced by left-wing and communist teachers in the Mercer Island High School, who had the students read the philosophers Sartre and Kierkegaard, “The Communist Manifesto” and question the existence of God.

    In 1955, the chairman of the Mercer Island school board, John Stenhouse, testified before the House Un-American Activities Subcommittee that he had been a member of the Communist Party.

    Madelyn and Stanley shed their Methodist and Baptist upbringing and began attending Sunday services at the East Shore Unitarian Church in nearby Bellevue.

    “In the 1950s, this was sometimes known as “the little Red church on the hill,” said Peter Luton, the church’s senior minister, referring to the effects of McCarthyism. Skepticism, the kind that Stanley embraced and passed on to his daughter, was welcomed here.

    A high school classmate described Anna as “a fellow traveler. . . . We were liberals before we knew what liberals were.”

    The descriptive, “fellow traveler,” was first applied to non-communists who were inclined toward the views of the Communist Party by Leon Trotsky.

    1960 Anna’s father found a better opportunity at a furniture store in Hawaii and moved his family to Honolulu.

    Stanley Ann began classes at the University of Hawaii in 1960, where she begins a relationship with Barack Obama Sr.

    She spent weekends in discussions that seemed to be, in part, a logical extension of the long coffeehouse sessions in Seattle and the teachings of Wichterman and Foubert, Anna’s left-wing instructors.

    The forum involved graduate students from the University of Hawaii. They spent weekends listening to jazz, drinking beer and debating politics and world affairs.

    Neil Abercrombie, the Democratic congressman from Hawaii, was part of those regular gatherings and described Anna as “the original feminist.”

    Although Anna Dunham is frequently described as an atheist, Obama remembers, “My mother was a deeply spiritual person and would spend a lot of time talking about values and give me books about the world’s religions and talk to me about them.

    Very comprehensive history of Stanley Ann Dunham and her son Barack — Part 1 and Part 2.
    1960 Although still married to Kezia, Senior marries fellow student Anna Dunham. Senior is now legally a bigamist. Over his lifetime and through several wives, Senior eventually returns to Kezia.

    Dunham is eighteen years old and an anthropology student. They are both students at the East-West Center and they met in a Russian-language course at a time when the Russian language was inextricably mixed up with communism.

    His own father and mother’s wedding in Hawaii may not have been properly documented. “How and when the marriage occurred remains a bit murky, a bill of particulars that I have never quite had the courage to explore,” Obama writes in his memoir.

    The Dunhams weren’t happy with the union, but Barack Senior’s father was furious. He wrote the Dunhams “this long, nasty letter saying that he didn’t approve of the marriage,” Obama recounted his mother telling him in “Dreams.” “He didn’t want the Obama blood sullied by a white woman.”

    1961
    Six months after they wed, another letter arrived in Kenya, announcing the birth of Barack Hussein Obama, born Aug. 4, 1961. Despite her husband’s continued anger, Sarah Obama said in a recent interview, she “was so happy to have a grandchild in the U.S.”

    1963
    After rejecting a scholarship at the Marxist New School for Social Research in New York City that would have paid for his family to come with him, Senior abandons Anna and Obama for Harvard, claiming there was no allotment for his family.

    1963 Obama is approximately 2 years old when his father abandons the family.

    Abercrombie said of Barack Sr., “I know he loved Ann,” but “I think he didn’t want the impediment of being responsible for a family. He expected great things of himself and he was going off to achieve them.”

    Anna will file for divorce in 1964 and remarry two years later, when her son was 5.

    Years later, Abercrombie and another grad school friend looked up their old pal during a trip through Africa.

    At that point, the senior Obama was a bitter man, according to the congressman, feeling that he had been denied due opportunities to influence the running of his country. “He was drinking too much; his frustration was apparent,” Abercrombie said.

    To Abercrombie’s surprise, Obama Sr. never asked about his ex-wife or his son.

    1963
    Jomo Kenyatta, who was arrested in October, 1952 on the charges of “managing and being a member” of the Mau Mau Society, seizes control of Kenya and becomes its first prime minister in May.

    1963
    In June, one month later, Senior leaves Harvard and returns to Kenya, joining the Kenyatta government as a senior economist.

    Senior is obviously close to Kenyatta, Tom Mboya and the Kenyatta government.

    1964 Senior marries his third wife, an American-born teacher called Ruth, whom he had met at Harvard while still legally married to both Kezia and Ann and who followed him to Africa.

    Ruth is the third woman Obama Sr. “marries” in 10 years. Senior will have two children with Ruth.

    1968 Obama’s mother marries Lolo Soetoro Mangunharjo, who is an official of the Director General’s office in the TNI Topography division of the Indonesian Army and later an oil company executive.

    Lolo Soetoro, a Muslim, promptly moves his new family to Jakarta, Indonesia, the worlds most populous Muslim country. Obama will live in Indonesia for nearly five years as a child. He had a pet ape named Tata, and sampled exotic foods — dog, snake and grasshopper.

    Subsequently, Lolo and Anna will have one daughter, Obama’s step-sister Maya Soetoro-Ng. It is she who places Obama in Jakarta, Indonesia, from 1968 through 1973.

    In Obama’s account of this move, he states his mother was shocked to discover how her new husband reverted to chauvinist Indonesian ways as soon as he left America and that Indonesia was a nasty right-wing dictatorship (although the latter doesn’t jibe with her spending much of the rest of her life in that country).

    To Obama, his mother is a Kumbaya-era liberal. He feels that she messed up her life due to naïve faith in Third World countries and Third World men.

    Years later, when he’s working on Wall Street, he’s creeped out by his visiting mother’s insistence on seeing her favorite film, the 1959 Brazilian art-house classic “Black Orpheus.” He belatedly realizes that his very fair-skinned mother is sexually attracted to dark men. He pompously intones, “The emotions between the races could never be pure; even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.”

    Wallace-Wells mentions in Rolling Stone:

    There is an amazingly candid moment in Obama’s autobiography when he writes of his childhood discomfort at the way his mother would sexualize African-American men. “More than once,” he recalls, “my mother would point out Harry Belafonte is the best-looking man on the planet.” What the focus groups his advisers conducted revealed was that Obama’s political career now depends, in some measure, upon a tamer version of this same feeling, on the complicated dynamics of how white women respond to a charismatic black man.

    Early in his run for the U.S. Senate in 2004, Obama’s pollsters discovered that women loved him, especially nice white ladies who like personalities more than politics and definitely don’t like political arguments.

    1970 In “Dreams,” he inadvertently sheds some light on his formative years and the political views of his mother, an anthropologist and Islamophile who hated America and subsequently goes native.

    “Looking back, I’m not sure Lolo ever fully understood what my mother was going through … why the things he was working so hard to provide for her seemed only to increase the distance between them … He landed a job in the government relations department of an American oil company. … Sometimes I would overhear him and my mother arguing in their bedroom, usually about her refusal to attend his company dinner parties, where American businessmen from Texas and Louisiana would slap Lolo’s back and boast about the palms they had greased to obtain the new offshore drilling rights, while their wives complained to my mother about the quality of Indonesian help. He would ask her how it would look for him to go alone, and remind her that these were her own people, and my mother’s voice would rise to almost a shout.”

    “They are not my people!”
    1970
    Obama’s family moves from H Ramir Street to Dempo Street.

    1972 Upon Dunham’s divorce from Lolo she took Barack to live with her parents in Honolulu. Anna and Obama’s half-sister Maya returned to Indonesia.

    Except for occasional visits to Hawaii, Dunham would remain in Indonesia for the remainder of her life. Shortly before her death of ovarian cancer, Anna returned to Hawaii, where she died.
    1973
    Barry Soetoro is enrolled in the Punahou School as Barack Hussein Obama.

    Obama’s classmate and friend, Keith “Ray” Kakugawa, said. “Barry’s biggest struggles then were missing his parents. His biggest struggles were his feelings of abandonment.

    Obama would describe his grandparents, the people who would raise him, as “white folk.”

    Madelyn Dunham raised Barry Obama. It was probably her money that got him admitted to the prestigious Punahou School in Hawaii and paid his fees. Her efforts were formative, perhaps even more so than those of Obama’s mother Ann, Madelyn’s daughter. And yet Madelyn is being hidden away.

    And America’s media have supinely allows Obama to pretend he has no white relatives. He has paraded his step-grandmother in Kenya, who never saw him until the 1980s, as his “granny,” and locked the grandmother who actually raised him away in a closet.

    Now, the Chicago Tribune reports “the Obama campaign declined to make [his white grandmother] available.”

    All because she is white and Barry Obama is a “black” candidate for president.

    The “segregation” of Madelyn Dunham, Obama’s white grandmother, and only real grandmother, has to be one of the cruelest and most mendacious political kidnappings this nation has ever seen.

    1982
    Senior dies in an alcohol-related car accident in Kenya, leaving three wives, one mistress, six sons and a daughter — there is also the possibility of an eight progeny via a mistress.

    Although Obama claims Senior was an atheist, Senior was buried as a Muslim and the rival families of his late father are still suing each other over his meager estate.

    One of Senior’s former drinking partners, Kenyan writer Philip Ochieng says that his friend’s downfall was his weak character.

    “Although charming, generous and extraordinarily clever, Obama Sr. was also imperious, cruel and given to boasting about his brain and his wealth,” he said.

    “He was excessively fond of Scotch. He had fallen into the habit of going home drunk every night. His boasting proved his undoing and left him without a job, plunged him into prolonged poverty and dangerously wounded his ego.”

    Ochieng recalls how, after sitting up all night drinking Black Label whisky at Nairobi’s famous Stanley Hotel, Obama Sr. would fly into rages if Ruth asked where he had been.

    Ochieng remonstrated with his friend, saying: “You bring a woman from far away and you reduce her to pulp. That is not our way.”

    But it was to no avail. Ruth sued for divorce after her husband administered brutal beatings.

    In fact he was a menace to life, said Ochieng. “He had many extremely serious accidents. Both his legs had to be amputated. They were replaced with crude false limbs made from iron.

    “He was just like Mr Toad [from Wind In The Willows], very arrogant on the road, especially when he had whisky inside. I was not surprised when I learned how he died.”

    Ruth refused to comment on the abuse charges when we tracked her down to the Kenyan school where she now works.

    She said: “I was married to Barack’s father for seven years so, yes, you could say Barack is my stepson.

    “Barack’s father was a very difficult man. Although I was married to him the longest of any of his wives he wasn’t an easy person to be around.”

    1986
    Obama travels to Kenya for the first time.

    Obama’s 40-year-old cousin Said Hussein Obama commented, “My cousin found it difficult when he came here to learn of his six half-brothers and sisters were born to four different mothers.

    Obama’s left hand is on the shoulder of Kezia, Obama Sr.’s first wife, who said, “The first time I met Barack Jr. was when he came to Kenya in 1985. He was so much like his father, his looks, his voice, everything. It was like seeing my husband all over again.”

    In addition to Obama’s half-sister, Auma (Obama’s right hand), Kezia has three sons by Barack Sr. Her two youngest, Bernard and Abo, live in Nairobi. They are all Muslims.
    1989 Obama is a summer intern at the corporate law firm Sidley Austin LLP in Chicago where he meets Michelle Robinson, his summer adviser.
    1992
    Obama and Michelle Robinson of Chicago, Illinois are married (October 18, 1992). The ceremony was performed by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois.

    Michelle Robinson was born into a working-class family from the South Side of Chicago in 1964. She graduated from Whitney Young High School in 1981 and majored in sociology at Princeton University, graduating cum laude in 1985. She obtained her Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School in 1988.

    Michelle has also been an associate dean at the University of Chicago and is currently a vice president at the University of Chicago Hospitals. She sits on six boards, including the prestigious Chicago Council on Global Affairs and the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools.

    1992 Obama’s brother-in-law, Craig Robinson pulled him aside and asked about his plans. “He said, ‘I think I’d like to teach at some point in time, and maybe run for public office,’” recalls Robinson, who assumed Senator Obama meant he’d like to run for city alderman. “He said no — at some point he’d like to run for the U.S. Senate. And then he said, ‘Possibly even run for President at some point.’ And I was like, ‘Okay, but don’t say that to my Aunt Gracie.’ I was protecting him from saying something that might embarrass him.”
    1992 Obama’s family connections to Islam would endure, however. For example, his brother Roy opted for Islam over Christianity, as Obama recounted when describing his 1992 wedding.

    “The person who made me proudest of all,” Obama wrote, “was Roy. Actually, now we call him Abongo, his Luo name, for two years ago he decided to reassert his African heritage. He converted to Islam, and has sworn off pork and tobacco and alcohol.”

    Abongo “Roy” Obama is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must “liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture.” He urges his younger brother to embrace his African heritage.
    1995
    At age 33, Obama publishes “Dreams from My Father, A Story of Race and Inheritance.”

    In a new introduction to the reissued edition of “Dreams,” he noted that the dangers of writing an autobiography included “the temptation to color events in ways favorable to the writer … [and] selective lapses of memory.”

    Obama’s mother dies of ovarian cancer a few months after publication.

    1999 Daughter Malia, the Hawaiian form of Mary, is born.
    2001 Daughter Sasha, the Russian pet form of Aleksandra, is born.
    2005 Ethical questions surround Obama’s shady real estate deal and relationship with indicted political fundraiser and Arab-American activist Tony Rezko, who befriended Obama during his Harvard days.

    The
