As reported today in

'Ja wy kinne'
Nederlandse roots van Obama
AMSTERDAM - Zou de aankomend president van Amerika eerst nog Ierse roots hebben, een andere zoektocht naar de stamboom van Barack Obama leidt naar... Nederland
Well, it's already claimed the president-elect has Irish roots. But now are the Netherlands an
Obamanation, too? His step-father was from Indonesia (the former Dutch East Indies) and
Obbema is a Frisian word, but this has gotta be a hoax. There was a similar (Dutch)
report last February in
Volkskrant.
Umm, his father was from Kenya. His step-father was from Indonesia.
