Obama, known as "Barry" throughout his early years, was born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii to Barack Obama, Sr. and Ann Dunham.[8][9] His parents separated when he was two years old and later divorced.[10] After her divorce, Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, and the family moved to Soetoro's home country of Indonesia in 1967, where Obama attended local schools in Jakarta from ages 6 to 10.[8] He then returned to Honolulu to live with his maternal grandparents while attending Punahou School from the fifth grade until his graduation in 1979.[11] Following high school, Obama moved to Los Angeles, where he studied at Occidental College for two years.[12] He then transferred to Columbia University in New York City, where he majored in political science with a specialization in international relations.[13]]

Poor thing on food stamps going to what school?

Punahou School, formerly known as Oahu College, is a private, co-educational, nonsectarian college preparatory school located in Honolulu in the U.S. State of Hawaii. With about 3,700 students attending the school, in kindergarten through the twelfth grade, it is the largest independent school west of the Mississippi River in the United States.[1] In 2006, Punahou School was ranked as the nation's "greenest" school in America.[2]The student body is diverse, with student selection based on both academic and non-academic considerations.[3] In 2005, its sports program was ranked by Sports Illustrated as the fourth best in the country.[4]

Along with academics and athletics, Punahou also offers visual and performing arts programs. Students have access to a jewelry studio, a pottery studio, a photography darkroom, and glass-blowing facilities. The Punahou marching band goes on a trip once every four years, and most recently they participated in the 2007 Rose Bowl Parade, and the student yearbook, The Oahuan, has won national awards from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association[citation needed] and the American Scholastic Press Association[5], including the first Columbia Gold to be awarded in the State for the 2002 Oahuan[citation needed].

Tuition is $16,675 for the 2008-2009 school year[6][7], not including optional and mandatory fees. Tuition charges do not cover the entire cost of the education of a student, and this "deficit" is met by the school's endowment.[8]

Maybe step daddy had some cash?

Soetoro worked for the Indonesian government and later a U.S. oil company before he and Obama's mother divorced in the late 1970s. Soetoro died of a liver ailment in 1987 at age 51.

Ahhhhh...the asshole probably took off leaving her with a nothing. Could the poor ol' thing even take care of herself?

Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro (November 29, 1942 ?? November 7, 1995), known as Ann Dunham, was the mother of United States Senator and presidential candidate Barack Obama.[1] Dunham was an anthropologist who later specialized in rural development. While born in Kansas, Dunham spent most of her adult life in Hawaii.

Her parents, Stanley Armour Dunham (born on March 23, 1918, raised in El Dorado, Kansas died February 8, 1992??buried in the Punchbowl National Cemetery) and Madelyn Dunham (née Madelyn Lee Payne) (who was born in 1922 and raised in Augusta, Kansas and is still living in Honolulu, Hawaii), met in Wichita, Kansas and married on May 5, 1940.[5] People who know the family say that the shape of Obama's face strikingly resembles that of his maternal grandfather.[2]

After the Pearl Harbor attack her father joined the Army and her mother worked at a Boeing plant in Wichita.[2] At the end of World War II she moved with her parents to Seattle, Washington, where her father was a furniture salesman and her mother worked for a bank. The family moved to Mercer Island, Washington, in 1956 so that 13-year old Ann could attend the high school that had just opened.[4]
