is obama an only child?

Nine people have found my blog in the last week by searching for some form of the above question (including two searches for "is obama a only child" - remedial english, anyone?), due to this post and the title of my blog. By the way, go watch that Matt Damon video again, while you're at it. Can't. Stop. Laughing.

Since everyone seems to be so curious about whether Obama has any siblings, I thought I'd find the answer for you. He is not, in fact, an only child. He has two half-sisters. There is a biography with some family history here, in case you're interested. I can only assume this post will increase the appearance of this blog in similar searches, so if you found me this way, feel free to sit down and stay awhile. Then go read about Obama's family, if you like. You're welcome.
