A few questions about Obama/Soetoro..why the two names? and how did he get financial?
aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at Occidental College (he was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation?) Perhaps these questions have already been answered but I just read this and would like to know the answers. Thanks. Po Boy...no need to be a JERK. If you aren't grown up enough to defend your hero with being a di*k then keep your opinions to yourself.

You should ask this in the politics section, you will get more answers.....but Obama went by the name Barry Soetero..Soetero was his step fathers last name. Nobody really knows where the financial backing came from....although there are several good guesses.

Your answer can be found by going to Google and typing in "step children." Someone is new at this.

The story about foreign aid came from an April Fools spoof by a nonexistent organization. http://amfoi.wordpress.com/ Some of the clues are that the organization doesn't exist, and Fulbright doesn't have scholarships for foreign undergrads to study in the US. http://www.cies.org/Fulbright/ Also pretty much every debunking organization has weighed in on this one. http://www.factcheck.org/2009/05/was-obama-born-in-the-usa/ http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthers/occidental.asp http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/barackobama/a/obama_citizenship_questioned_2.htm These questions were appropriate before the election, and will be appropriate again for the 2012 election. But Obama is in office constitutionally. Protest his policies. And the two names are because he had a stepfather. Like Clinton and Ford, who were born with different names.
