Family of Barack Obama
The Obama family was the First Family of the United States during the presidency of Barack Obama, from 2009 to 2017. Michelle Obama, Barack's wife, was raised on the South Side of Chicago, graduated from Princeton University and Harvard Law School, and met her husband while they worked at the law firm Sidley Austin. She campaigned actively during his two presidential campaigns, and as First Lady sought to become a role model for women and advocate for poverty awareness. The couple's children are Malia (born 1998) and Sasha (born 2001).Photograph: Pete Souza

There should at least be a footnote about Frank Marshall Davis. He was the Presidents Mentor. Like a father to him according to "Dreams FROM my Father" by B Obama himself. Some even suggest that Davis is Barracks biological father. As is with the facts we know FMD player an imlortant enough role to be considered family.

Semi-protected edit request on 17 November 2019

Please change death info for Ruth Lucille Armour(2.9) from "died November 26, 1926, from ptomaine poisoning." to "she died November 26, 1926, from suicide via strychnine poisoning."

Citation would be here: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/32315290 It contains her obituary/article

While she developed ptomaine, it was from the strychnine and suicide attempt. Wording would be up to the editor. Dianed4655 (talk) 19:24, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: FIndagrave is not generally considered a Reliable source and I am unable to confirm that the Topeka Daily Capital printed the obituary displayed there. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 20:44, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Should Malia have her own article?

I'm trying to figure out if it's worth pursuing to create an article for her prior to it being taken down. Similar to how Tiffany Trump has her own article. What's the difference between Tiffany and Malia? What are your opinions and why? Factfanatic1 (talk) 17:18, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Factfanatic1, try making a draft first and then we can see. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:24, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This could be a good idea eventually. If so you could use a template like this:

  • 19 years, 11 months and 11 days

But you will need sourcing. WakandaQT (talk) 15:43, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hussein Onyango torture claims

Claims that Hussein Onyango was tortured in 1949 have been disputed by some, including by David Maraniss in Barack Obama: The Story. The article should probably make mention of this. --Eldomtom2 (talk) 22:50, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
