Is Barack Obama's mother still alive? ?

Update:

Firstly let me say that I am not from the USA. So if I am not up on the President Elects personal life you will have to forgive me. It may surprise some of you Americans to learn that you are in fact not the center of the universe..Kind thanks to those that answered without sarcasm.

    No. The President - Elect has articulated very well about his Mother many times. No, for the 99th or more times, his Mother is deceased.

    No, she died from cancer. His grandmother raised him for the most part.

    Oh yes, I am American but don't jump the gun assuming that we all are. It bothers me how much foreigners are interested in stereotyping the US. You asked a question w/out saying you weren't from here, so of course you're going to get some sarcastic responses.

    Did you not see his commercial where he talks about his mother dying from cancer and all she could worry about was how to pay her medical bills? It was a big push for his health care reforms.
