4. I lost my father when I was 2 years old
My mother never remarried and she raised my 2 older brothers and me. She did get help from my father's family. My aunts and uncles were very good to my mother, brothers, and me.

I get really annoyed at Xtian Fundies whose welfare solution is to push women to remarry if they have kids. My mother married my dad because she loved him, not because she loved his paycheck. She never found another soul mate to marry, but thanks to FDR we had Social Security. My dad also had life insurance and my mother went back to school to get a teaching degree.

I only got to know my father from stories my mother, aunts and uncles told.

Obama's life story is very interesting. I have problems with him mimicking Lieberman.
