Obama's mother was a dreamer. She made risky bets that paid off only some of the time, choices that her children had to live with. She fell in love—twice—with fellow students from distant countries she knew nothing about. Both marriages failed, and she leaned on her parents and friends to help raise her two children.
This is an excerpt from an article read. Found it very interesting. The woman seems to have been a bundle of contradictions. You may find it itnteresting.

You know.. I find it interesting that there is this sort of attention on Obama's mother. I don't remember any other presidential candidates mother being examined by the media. Why is Obama special?

This goes to show that there is no one in the world who is a saint and has not done wrong in some way or another. I know she may have tried to do right but it led her in the wrong direction, it seems. I think she is proud of her son though. I'm glad someone was there to help her with her children.
