Did Obama even know his father? I thought he was raised by his mother and grandmother, in Hawaii.

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Historic : Victoria Kawesa first foreign born party leader in Sweden
Kawesa historic - the first foreign-born leader
Variously reported in the Swedish media
It's a potent mixture - Victoria Kawesa leading the Feminist Initiative Party together with Gudrun Schyman
(BTW I sometimes fantasize about what a different planet this world could have been or at least the discussions and trajectories and take-offs in this our USA-Africa dialogue series would have been if the father of the First Black President of the US had been (a) a Yoruba man (b) an Honourable Hausa man (c) A Fulani (d) An Igbo man (more unimaginable chest beating about " our man" in the White House ) and I guess that Papa, Grandpa, Chidi etc. would have been prevailing upon him, desperately to give his unadulterated moral support to the Biafra cause etc. etc.
