That POS father Obama was so proud of really got around. How many does this make? I bet Michelle Obama wants to scratch out the eyes of this magazine writer.
What's known of Barry "Goldwater" Obama's father is that he was coddled by the British when Kenya was part of British East Africa; the British were getting ready to leave the area in a few years, and Barry "Goldwater" Obama's father was considered talented enough to ease the transition to independence.
But at the same time the British were coddling him, he was collaborating with the Kenyan terrorists.
After independence in 1963, Barry "Goldwater" Obama's father was reasonably expected to hold some sort of high-level job in the new government, but that didn't happen. He didn't get purged or anything; just ended up in some sort of low-level job in the new government.
He had some sort of personal problems, and chafed at the ingratitude of the terrorists, who were by then the government, and so took to the bottle. For quite a few years, he managed to continue as a minor functionary in the Kenyan government, but the drinking took a toll. He died driving while drunk, in 1983 I think.
He had, if I recall correctly, four wives.
And it's true--without grandma who he threw under the bus, Barry "Goldwater" Obama would have never been what he is today.
