Michelle is current wife. They were married 14 years ago. That would be 1993. He met her in 1989 in Chicago. This article talks about the father's wives and affairs.

I have not seen a mention on the internet that leads one to believe Candidate Obama has been married more than once. He and Mitt Romney seem to be unique in the field of candidates.

This is what I understand from the article below regarding the women in Barack Obama, Sr.'s life----Candidate Obama's father's life.

"Secrets of Obama family unlocked"

timesonline.co.uk

The Presidential Candidate's father Barack Obama, Sr. was a student at the University of Hawaii. Presidential Candidate's mother was Ann Dunham originally from Wichita, Kansas. She was a student at University of Hawaii also.

*Ann Dunham and Barack Obama, Sr. met and married
1. Son, Barack Obama, Jr. Born 1961

*1963: Barack Obama, Sr.leaves them in Hawaii
Goes to Harvard
Returns to Kenya after Harvard
Does not go back to Hawaii
Does not raise son Barack Jr.


Regarding the women in Barack Obama, Sr.'s life, this is what I understand.


BEGINNING WITH FIRST WIFE in Kenya: Kezia

1. Barack Obama, Sr. married Kezia in Kenya
Village ceremony, no documentation to suggest a divorce
Had 2 children: Roy and Auma
Leaves Kezia and Kenya to go to Hawaii

2. Barack Obama Sr. meets and marries Ann Dunham
In Hawaii - no date given
Barrack Obama, Jr. (Presidential Candidate -Born 1961)

In 1963 - Barack Obama Sr. goes to Harvard
Leaves Ann and Barrack Obama, Jr. in Hawaii
Barack Obama,Jr. did not see his father until he, Obamba, Jr., was 10 years old

3. Barack Obama, Sr.leaves after studying at Harvard
Returns to Kenya with Ruth, an American woman
Last name not given. Marries Ruth.
Two sons : 1 deceased/ 1 1iving

(3a:) Barack Obama, Sr. is still married to 1st wife, Kezia,
per the Kenya tradition
Barack Obama, Sr. continues again to see Kezia
Two more sons born to Kezia

4. Barack Obama, Sr.:
Affair with Young Kenyan Woman
One Son Born: George

5. Barack Obama, Sr.:
Dies in car accident.

So in final analysis of this article, Obama, Sr. had 3 women that he was considered married to Kezia, Ann Dunham and Ruth
plus a 4th woman not considered to be married to.

For further details on that time-----see the article.
