how did it happen? this is an incredible story. when they got to indonesia, lola who was believed by ann to be an anti-colonialist, anti-western guy, turned out to be more pro-western and more anti-communist than she thought. he went to work for the suharto government fighting communists in indonesia. he took a job at an oil company. they moved into an affluent neighborhood. and obama s mom by obama s account became embitter and began to accuse her husband lolo of being a sell-out. glenn: this is not conjecture. this is not. glenn: this is fact and it comes from obama. what did obama write himself about lolo? obama said he would overhear loud disputes between the mother and the stepfather in which the stepfather would say why are you yelling at me? i m among your people, meaning white people.
