No, President Obama was not raised in Africa. But his father, who had the same name, was from Kenya. President Obama had never visited Kenya till the late 1980s, and he did make a trip there to meet his relatives from his father's side of the family, but the president was mainly raised in Hawaii (except for four years he spent in Indonesia as a child).
