Baracktoid 016

Neil Abercrombie, Democratic congressman from the first District in Hawaii, was interviewed by the Chicago Tribune for research into Obama's life. He was part of the crowd of friends surrounding Obama Senior and Stanley Ann while they were attending the University of Hawaii. After Obama Senior was accepted at Harvard, Abercrombie told the Tribune, Stanley Ann disappeared from The Univ. of Hawaii student gatherings. He excused Obama Senior's departure, saying, "I know he loved Ann, but I think he didn't want the impediment of being responsible for a family. He expected great things of himself and he was going off to achieve them."

Years later, Abercrombie caught up with Obama Senior during a trip to Africa. "He was drinking too much; his frustration was apparent," he recalled. To Abercrombie's surprise, the paper noted, Obama Senior never asked about his ex-wife or son. Abercrombie himself evidently found it so hard to explain this omission that he felt obliged to mention it to the interviewer.
