Was Obama’s mother legally married if Obama Sr. was still married to a girl back in Kenya?

Question

London Daily Mail http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-431908/A-drunk-bigot--US-Presidental-hopeful-HASNT-said-father-.html

In truth, Barack Obama senior, Obama's father, was a polygamist who had already abandoned one wife and child in Africa when he met Obama's mother in Hawaii.

Answer 1

That's old news.  Not relevant.  It's not Obama's fault his mother and father were not good people.

It is his fault that his ideology runs perpendicular to the principles upon which this country was founded.  I will not vote for him for that reason... I couldn't care less if he was born a b*****d.

Answer 2

And another pertinent question comes to light.  

Answer 3

Who the f**** cares?!  If the radical right doesn't care the grandpappy Bush was a n**i sympathizer, then why should you care if Obama's father was a polygamist?

Answer 4

Why does it matter? Kenyan marriages don't carry licenses. They are rituals performed. It really doesn't matter.

Answer 5

if i understand this question correctly you are telling me Obama is a bast???  i knew that so whats the question  

Answer 6

I don't know.

Obama Sr. and Barack's mother are both dead anyway.

Answer 7

so is this a question, or are you just telling us?

no she would not be.

not that you are but my advice is, don't judge anyone by their parents choices. it has nothing to do with a candidate who can lead our country.  

Answer 8

And so the child must be punished for the crimes of the parent(s)?
