PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA’S SECRET SON APPEARS
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, slightly overweight 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.
Luther was born in 1993 to 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, and his mother’s bouts with alcoholism, family friends
have stated that overall he was a “good kid” who “genuinely meant well.

The president 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.
When he became president, however, Obama’s contact with the boy reduced
markedly, though sources confirmed he would still send Luther a birthday card
and speak with him on the phone every month or so, often talking him through
his schoolwork or asking about his son’s interests in music and online gaming.
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.
