In old pic of O with a young Obama, his mom, and a young girl - who is that girl?

[Honeycombe8]

You probably have seen the picture. It's b&w, a young teen Obama sitting on grass near his mother, and there is a young girl also sitting there between them. Does anyone know who that girl is?

[Curtland1015]

[BumRushDaShow]

4. Possibly his half-sister? Maya Soetoro?

[Honeycombe8]

5. Oh, I didn't know that he has a half-sister. That's probably who that is, then. Where is she?

Is she in the U.S.? Has she openly supported Obama?

[Essene]

Jeez. Keep up.

[Honeycombe8]

11. Place rude, ignorant kid on ignore. Been DU member for years.Campaign contributor.

Obama supporter before it was "cool." Watched both conventions and all but one of all approx. 30 debates of both parties.

Don't need rude little male kid (trying to make up for small parts) posting to me. Placed on ignore.

[trumad]

16. Hey I didn't know she spoke at the convention....

You going to give me shit about it?

[alcibiades_mystery]

23. No, because you're the toughest flame warrior on DU

Or something...

:eyes:

[Leeny]

36. Some of us have lives

so excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me if I miss a thing or two. No hammering on each other, eh?

[BumRushDaShow]

20. Here she was at the convention

I know that CSPAN showed the entire convention without commentary with all of the speakers. I have 4, 6-hr VCR tapes (yes I'm old-fashioned...lol) of the convention! I believe she is living in Indonesia with her husband but she was active with the "Democrats Abroad" to get out their votes for the primaries and she stumped for her brother in Hawaii.

[Hepburn]

27. Wow...she is sooooooo pretty!

I can say this for Obama's mom ~~ she had two very beautiful children! And both seem to have turned out very well. Too bad she is not around today to watch them succeed!

:hi:

[Cha]

35. Maya's last campaigning for Obama in Hawaii was on

September 28th in a concert in Lihue with Willy K before she was off to the Mainland to campaign hereB-)

[Erin Elizabeth]

38. His family looks like America.

[stillcool]

21. She lives in Hawaii...

and yes she supports and has campaigned for her brother.

[WinkyDink]

22. Really, who cares? Is this a "story"?

[Willo]

37. You can still view all of the convention speeches here:

9. If it is this one

Then it is L to R
Stanley Dunham (Obama's grandfather), Ann Dunham (Obama's mother), Maya Soetoro Ng (Obama's half-sister) and Obama

[Mimosa]

13. Think how proud Obama's mom and grandfather would be now!

Obama inherited his grandfather's and mother's chin. Think how proud they'd be if they could see him now.

[Chorophyll]

14. Heh heh. I was just thinking that.

He inherited the Dunham jaw and (possibly?) the ears. :)

[ej510]

15. He looks like his grandfather.

[ginnyinWI]

17. yeah look at this Wiki entry

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Dunham

There's a younger pic of Grandpa Dunham and you can really see the resemblance.

[Chorophyll]

18. Aw! Sweet. nt

[Sebass1271]

19. yEAP. He does look like his grandfather A LOT

I noticed this a while back. There are strong resemblance between Obama and his grandfather, you can clearly see it when Obama's grandfather was young. My opinion is that Obama doesn't look his father at all.

[phoenixriz]

24. Obama's sister

lives in Hawaii and is a school teacher.

[ginnyinWI]

25. One of his daughters takes after that side of the fam.

The younger one--is it Sasha or Malia? She has a rounder face.

[gblady]

26. that would be...

Sasha

[polichick]

28. "Isn't she lovely?" That goes for each of them - thanks for posting! :)

[MassLiberal]

29. What a gorgeous family

[Terran]

30. Yes, Malia looks like her mother.

They're both beautiful.

O8) O8)

[FrenchieCat]

32. In pic #2, there is Obama's sister, and her husband,

who is Chinese-Canadian.

They have one daughter who appears to be a couple of years younger than Sasha.

[ginnyinWI]

33. those kids are so cute!

Thanks for posting these. Melts my heart to think of them running around in the White House.

Looks like Malia inherited the family chin too. They are both gorgeous in their own ways. As are Barack and Michelle.

Excuse me now, while I steal all these pics to store on my computer! ;)

[asdjrocky]

34. Love those pictures.

One of the best looking families we'll ever have in the Whitehouse. How could anyone hate these beautiful and caring people? The children, both adorable, seem to have taken the best parts from each parent.

[Erin Elizabeth]

40. Both of those girls are not only going to be gorgeous women,

but also incredibly intelligent and self-confident because of their parents. It's going to be fun to watch them grow up in the White House!

[Erin Elizabeth]

39. Oh wow, you totally can see the resemblance!

[dancingme]

31. he looks like his grandfather

when he was young
