Barack Obama was raised by a single mother, which ultimately led to him becoming president.
He was raised by his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, who is now known as President Obama. She did not marry Obama’s stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, until after she had already raised Obama as a single mother
His mother is of European descent, while his father is of African descent. In the year 1960, a Russian language lesson at the University of Hawaii is where his parents first met. They got married in a civil ceremony on February 2, 1961, which was six months before Barack Obama was born. Despite the fact that the future president’s father left the family, the future president’s mother did an excellent job of raising him on her alone.
