If I Beat Your Ass One More Time, You Would Be Barack Obama

"I don't know where I'd be if not for my mom," Obama says. "My father often, he sent a message to me through my brother saying, if I beat your ass one more time, you would be Barack Obama." He thinks that his abuse bought him success, but the love of his mother is what brought him here, she says. Do you have any relationship now with your dad? You haven't spoken to him in probably about 12 or 13 years now,. But I take care of him and give him what he gave me as a child.
