To provide cover for his father's shameful actions in leaving his mother and him early on in their relationship, Obama Junior tries to cast an oppressive cloud over the fact that they were an interracial couple. "In 1960, the year that my parents were married, miscegenation still described a felony in over half the states in the Union," he wrote in his biography. Even though the law was unenforced in the US for many generations, plus the fact that Obama Senior was a Kenyan [not a US citizen], he noted that in many parts of the South, "my father would have been strung up from a tree for merely looking at my mother the wrong way." Then he questioned about his grandparents, "Sure--but would you let your daughter marry one?"

He notes in passing, without explaining fully, that his grandfather had experienced his own form of discrimination, which Obama suggests made his grandfather more sympathetic to Obama's father's courting his mother. "The condition of the black race, their pain, their wounds, would in his mind have become merged with his own," Obama wrote about Stanley Armour Dunham, "the absent father and hint of a scandal, a mother who had gone away, the cruelty of other children, the realization that he was no fair-haired boy--that he looked like a 'wop'."

What Obama neglects to bring forward anywhere in the book is the real crux of his grandfather's tragedy, namely, that his grandfather's father had been a philanderer who abandoned his wife, and that in 1926, Stanley Dunham came home to discover his mother's dead body. Obama's grandmother had ended her life by committing suicide, at least in part as a result of her abandonment by her husband.
