Reports has it that the first family has turned more than a few heads at this week’s Democratic National Convention, where the president, as he greets delegates and waves to crowds of supporters, is often accompanied not only by his wife and two daughters, but also his rarely seen 19-year-old son, Luther.
The shy teenager, who has lived his entire life with his mother in central Illinois, seldom appears in public with the president, with whom he has reportedly shared a somewhat distant and occasionally strained relationship.
Quote
“When I saw that kid with President Obama, I had no clue who he was,” said Georgia delegate Kathy Tyson, stating that the teen appeared to have difficulty sustaining eye contact with others and stood uncomfortably alongside his father when he shook hands with voters. “I guess he does kind of look like the president, though a bit shorter and stockier.”
Luther was given birth in 1993 by Andrea Pletcher, then a 24-year-old diner cashier whom Obama, a young law professor at the time, met during a brief trip to the state capital of Springfield. While the president’s son is said to have faced numerous obstacles during his childhood, including academic troubles, repeated emotional outbursts, family friends have stated that overall he was a “good kid” who “genuinely meant well.”
White House aides said President Obama sends money to Pletcher each month for Luther’s care. After he became a U.S. senator and moved to Washington, Obama reportedly visited his 11-year-old son every other Saturday afternoon, playing wiffle ball with him or taking him out to a movie matinee and then dinner at the local Applebee’s.
According to reports, the two have often struggled to find common ground, owing largely to their sharply differing levels of motivation and expectations for academic and personal success.

In Reality Barack Obama has two daughters, no sons. The text and photo above originated in a satirical/fictitious article published on the humor website "The Onion" Everything published on the site is Fictitious and mean to be laughed at not taken seriously.

So What's The Big Deal? After all He Is Not The Only One Is Such Situation. Million And One People Are In Same Situation Especially Politicians With Mistresses Having Millions Of Babies Outside Wedlock. Why Didn't This Issue Surface Long Ago? Why Now That He Is Running For A Second Term In Office? Just Because He Is Black They Only Want To Bring Him Down. Well, At Least He Has A Son To Represent His Name And That Is Every Reasonable Man's Dream.
"Leaders Means Giving People The Best Of Services And Not Family Propaganda"
Whatever A Person Does With Their Private Life Is Up to Them. Obama Will Be In Office For The Second Term, Pure And Simple.
