Um I believe it was how his life was influenced by a lack of a paternal influence.

If Obama senior hit 70 home runs for the Yankees every year, and was in the Hall of Fame, it would be the news story of the year, but since his father was a useless alcoholic, no one wants to discuss him and he is a non issue in bumble-butts life. Interesting...

He was an alcoholic womanizer who wasn't very nice to his children. Oh I also believe he was "married" to more than one woman at a time.

Would you think it was fair to have someone that you're biologically related to, but barely know, held up as a major factor in your life? My kids are all adopted, and although we got them at very young ages, some of them came from the foster care system after parental rights were terminated or relinquished. Do you think the same thing would be fair to them--to raise the behavior of their birth families if they ever decided to run for public office?
