The Story of Obama's Mother

Today, on Capital 95.8FM, the presenter told a story of a woman who marry a black man and when she gave birth to a boy, the man ran away and she was only 22 years at that time.  The woman goes to Indonesia to further her studies.  She is studying sociology or something to do with poor people.  She has to do research and interview poor people.  She brought her son along.  Later, she marries an Indonesia and have a baby girl.  Again, she divorce and now mother of a boy and a girl with different fathers.  The girl has a doctorate and the boy becomes President of United States of America. 

How did a single mother bring up two kids who became very successful adults?  She always bring the kids with her wherever and whenever she works.  For example, when she goes to interview the poor family, Obama will tag along.  Obama will be chase chickens or stray dogs to past time while she is working.  She says she loved her kids frequently everyday.  She plays with them and look after their well-being.

This is an incredible story. It is important that children should not
be brought up by maids but by parents.
