No Wonder the Post Hid Obama's Red Mentor
American Thinker ^ | 5/16/2019 | Jack Cahill

In August 2008, back when it mattered, the Washington Post ran a 10,000-word article by its Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter David Maraniss titled, “Though Obama Had to Leave to Find Himself, It Is Hawaii That Made His Rise Possible.” For reasons that will soon become clear, Maraniss should have excused himself from this assignment once he discovered the identity of the man in Hawaii who made that rise possible.

Barack Obama referred to this man in his 1995 memoir, Dreams from My Father, as “Frank.” If there was any mystery to Frank’s identity, Gerald Horne, a leftist scholar from the University of Houston, dispelled it in a March 2007 speech. Horne identified “Frank” as “an African-American poet and journalist by the name of Frank Marshall Davis.”

Davis, Horne acknowledged, “was certainly in the orbit of the CP –if not a member.” Horne was pulling his punches. “Here are the facts and they are indisputable,” wrote historian Paul Kengor in his insightful 2012 book, The Communist --Frank Marshall Davis: The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mentor. “Frank Marshall Davis was a pro-Soviet, pro-Red China, card-carrying member of Communist Party (CPUSA). His Communist Party card number was 47544.”

As Kengor observed, Obama dedicated 2500 words in Dreams to Davis, who “surfaces repeatedly from start to finish, from Hawaii to Los Angeles to Chicago to Germany to Kenya... from the 1970s to the 1980s to the 1990s.” Indeed, the two were sufficiently close that the young Obama wrote two poems about Davis -- a story I broke in February 2010 -- and Davis appears to have written one poem about Obama. I should add that in addition to being a card-carrying communist, Davis was a bisexual pornographer with at least a fictional taste for sex with minors.

Horne did not deny Davis’s influence; he

A pro-homosexual (with interests with young male sexual partners) communist would explain why the two were writing poems to each other.

Absolutely nothing in this article that people on FR who wanted to know did not know in 2008. We knew then that barky is a twisted minded communist sympathizer. His whole family were freaks from his grandparents to his mother to his mentors.

Zero would not have been elected and reelected without the willing collusion of the corrupt Republican party establishment, first in Illinois with the war waged against reformist Conservative Sen. Pete Fitzgerald to drive him from office in 2004 (who was taken out by the corrupt RINO Combiner Rep. Ray LaHood, later rewarded by Zero with a Cabinet post, and to a lesser extent, Spkr. Hastert, also a Combiner), and secondly by their putting up of two Derp State leftist ringers in a row, McQueeg and Willard. They’d have put up a third one in El Jebbe Bush in 2016 to elect Hillary had Trump not stopped them.

The lengths to which the media, the pop culture, BOTH political parties and all others sympathetic to this jug-eared monstrosity went to cover up and ignore his record, history, associates, et al, was so breathtaking as to be without equal in the history of our republic.

Why bring this up ten years after the fact? This was known at the time and no one did anything about it.

I respectfully suggest Frank Marshall Davis was only his (evil) spiritual father.

I submit that the imposter’s biological father was Bapak Subuh Muhammad Sumohadiwidjojo.

Ann Dunham and Loretta Fuddy were acolytes in his small cult, and the resemblance is uncanny.
