NBC News: Ann Dunham

[Dean7Co]

Well, it's a whitewashed story. The father was a very immoral man who did God only knows how many women, and who was a drunk who while drunk wrecked his car and lost both legs.... Not a stellar example in fact.

[lorpre87]

The world wants Obama!

5 stars from Italy

[livefromsaturn]

this guy is so great that McCain's gonna secretly cast his vote for Obama.

[POCOHONTAS1875]

Awesome story

[littledogs1]

God bless this man, what a great guy, my son is working for his campain and I am so very proud. I hope both my boys turn out to be like this great man. He is thoughtful and knows that mothers are an important part of what molds us as people. Go Obama. We need you to be president. The time is now.

[selemawit14]

omg this literally brought tears to my eyes.

when he talks about his mother that warms my heart. this is the man i want in the white house. the one that values match up w/the American people.

Obama 08'

[mehabe]

your mum and grandparents sure proud of you

[nasseransary]

He is the THE MAN! Vote for him!

[Sehara]

Whole World Love You Obama! You are our last hope and only hope. Whole world is watching elections and praying for you. You are leader that world is waiting for so long! It feels like in old times in my country when whole willage is contributing to send one boy in city. Everybody is helping and giving and proud of their boy who is going to make it and represent them and never forget those people. We are sending you Obama to the world! America is proud.

[jasminemakala]

You go Barack, we are pulling for you regardless of the rift. We will support you until the end.

[GiovanniDino]

Barack Obama teaches so much when he speaks of his mom and how he honors the "rock of the Obama family", Mrs. Obama. I cannot wait for the inauguration.

[colderama]

Good video-shows his roots and the relationship Obama had with his mother.

[deathdawg]

Great video, I have never seen the integrity he has before in any political candidate.

[ver506]

That's a wonderful story.Barack Obama is such an inspiration.

[raymelendez]

CLINTON 08

[PracticingMuse]

Great video. So honorable of Senator Obama to grown on the strengths of his mother and learn from the mistakes of his father. My own Mama for Obama and I support you all the way to the White House.

[kabejul]

that's why we love him so much...he's an inspiration to us all and has little pieces of us all inside him...he is a valid representation of all of us...somewhere in the mix we came from immigrants and turned into americans...

[whitymale]

level headed man,great leader

[ysoazn]

Obama '08~

[StormyNana]

Very nice - I am glad Obama had his grandmother and grandfather. I too lost my mother, just when I was 19 and a single mother.

It is amazing the man he is today . . . this is where his character and integrity come from. We love you Obama.

[djboy23x]

that gives me hope to because i have a white mom and black dad but i still have them. so i feel for barack not being able to hug his mom after graduation or even on his 18 birthday. I just dont know what we can do if he doesnt win because mcain wants to be another Bush puppet and hilary has all of the worng experience. i wish that the whole world could vote becuase we have more international Obamas that hiliary has superdelegates lol OBAMA 08!!!!!!

When i say O you say BAMA

O.....

[youzenrin]

BAMA!!

[ninunaia]

It's so beautiful to hear a politician speak of his mother in such a touching way.  I want a president who is able to access his feelings, able to see others as guides for his life actions.

BARACK OBAMA

THE NEXT GREAT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

[acapulkena]

WE LOVE YOU BARACK!YOU ARE OUR HOPE!

[whitymale]

he is black, he is white, he is obama

love this man

[MayPeacePrevail710]

More you know about him, more you want him to be our president. He is the one. May Peace Prevail On Earth! Everyone should read "Dreams from My Father."

[washimul]

OBAMA 08---President of not USA but the WHOLE WORLD

[sOkRiK]

Barack Obama is going to be the best President we have ever had!!!

[lwblack64]

This is so touching...It shows that Barack had parents similiar to our own...Not perfect but no parents are...That he hasnt forgotten what it is that makes him Barack...His past family...His education to make himself a better person...Learning from past mistakes made by his parents and probably some of his own...Is his life so much different than any other Americans life? I say no, that it is an afinity to the average American life and family. Barack knows America. Barack IS America. Obama '08!

[palou411]

I'm with him no matter what, i got a friend who is constantly reminding me to "have faith in Barack", and i do have faith in him and the this elections are going to have and end soon, so we can continue our walk to victory on November, when Barack Obama will become our President!

[ver506]

palou411...I'm with your friend on this one. I worry that Obama may not be the nominee, but he's proving just how well prepared he is to be president and Obama supporters just need to have faith in our man.He really knows what he's doing.

[alyceclover]

Born a couple of years after Stanley Ann, our lives were very different, although our travels followed a similar path~she giving birth to the very first candidate I can relate to as my president and my daughters and their spouses of very different backgrounds relating to him as well.

[joeythenewsboy]

Obama is surging in the poles!

[cpuz]

Obama is demonstrating a very different idea of politicians. An honest, passionate and a successful one. Change is not just words. He can do it and he can be trusted for it.

[lorpre]

wonderful story.

read "dreams from my father" to know more!

Italy for Obama!

[JoeyE27]

I feel for you Obama I never had a father but I Am glad you pray to father up above that's the only father we really need.

You have given me more hope and you are an example that through life no matter where you came from you can reach your dream in America. You are a inspiration to the single moms, father less sons and daughters and to every hard working minority. However,are dreams are not finished until you are nominated in November, the presidency of the United States of America.

Obama 08!

[truemaggotcoreyisgod]

he is such a strong man, stay strong and never give up on the dream barack.

[mcowan]

I am a white, 33 year old moderate, but lifelong Republican. I was a strong supported of Bush during his first term and even voted (against nagging doubts) for his second term.

Several months ago I heard Obama speak, I was moved. So I began to read every political story, watched all the debates and research his views on the main issues.

I registered as Dem, donated for the first time ever, signed up to register voters in Oregon.

BArack Obama is the only canidate worthy of my vote.

[Auragirl86]

people like you mcowan remind me time and time again why Barack Obama should be the next President of the United States. He's someone that EVERYONE can rally behind!

OBAMA '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[riwired]

Great job NBC news. Thank for sharing! Go Obama!!

[Mel1334]

That was lovely. I'm sure his mother is very proud. Just like the rest of us.

[blackmasterpeice]

I wish his mom was alive to see what an exceptional man she raised and to see her son become the president of the United States.

You can see in Barack's eyes that her absence has left a void. But what doesnt kill you only makes you stronger no one is a better example of that then Mr. Obama and that is why he will be the next president of the US.

[Honeypassion]

I respect this man!

[Musiclover89]

aww ive never seen his sister : ]

[petranakoz]

America makes me sick... It's startling how Americans can argue their country is so great. American history is disgraceful

[TomAwtry]

Bless you Senator Obama

[lizbian2]

I read his autobiography, very inspiring! I suggest anyone who has any interest in Obama, even if you don't know if you're going to vote for him yet, read "Dreams From My Father", you won't regret it.

[easternsmile]

[highdimension11]

Great video!

[TheForceIsMyAlly]

His past is as inspiring as he is.

OBAMA 08

[Jessenia14]

I must say that I find it so interesting that a man like Barack would be able to get so far in life, especially when it came down to his race. I could see where he would get his outspokeness (his father) and his ability to stand out (his mother). He is right thought, I can be difficult not having one's parents around, in general, no matter what age you are.

Amazing story thought. Just goes to show you how much this man can surprise you. Obama '08

[pigpen7471]

i <3 barack!
