- Stanley Ann Dunham married Barack Hussein Obama Sr. on February 2, 1961 in Maui, Hawaii.
- Barack Hussein Obama II born August 4, 1961.
- Barack Hussein Obama Sr. departs for Harvard in 1963.
- Barack Hussein Obama Sr. and Stanley Ann divorced in Honolulu, HI Jan 1964.
Barack was 2 years and 5 months old. - Dunham married, Lolo Soetoro (ca. 1936-1987) in 1966
Barack was about 5. - They moved to Jakarta, Indonesia in 1967.
Barack was about 6. - Soetoro and Dunham had a daughter, Maya Kassandra Soetoro, on August 15, 1970
- In 1971, at the age of 10, Barack was sent back to Honolulu to live with his maternal grandparents.
- Ann Dunham left Soetoro in 1972. She returned to Hawaii.
Barack was about 11. - Barack attended the elite Punahou Academy. Tuition for the 2007-2008 school year for Grades K-12 is $15,725. Dunham returned to Indonesia for field work in 1977 with Maya, Barack was left again with his grandparents. Barack’s mother and Soetoro saw each other when she returned to Indonesia. What if any monetary support Dunham received for child care is unknown. They divorced in 1980.
Barack was about 19.
By some simple math Obama was raised by a single mother (and supported by her parents) for a period of between 24 to 35 months. She also went to graduate school. Technically, for the period from 1972 to the final divorce in 1980 she was married and did not qualify as a single mother.
Much of Obama’s biography information is sketchy and the truth seems to be elusive, but I guess any sob story to ensnare the weak-minded will work if it gets him elected.
