... But London's Times has discovered Zeituni Onyango, 56, living in a disabled access flat in south Boston.
She was described as frail and relying on a metal stick to help her walk.
Despite her modest circumstances, records show she had donated $US260 to her nephew's presidential election campaign.
A second relative believed to be Senator Obama's long lost "Uncle Omar", who moved from Kenya to the US in the 1960s, was also identified as having spent time in Boston.
He had apparently been evicted in 2000 from his one-bedroom flat for failing to pay $US2324.20 in rent, and had been attacked by armed robbers with a sawn-off shotgun in 1994 in the city.
A view into Obama's "American Dream?" If this is the status of kin, what will the ObamaNation be like for the rest of us?
