I think you are right about his mentoring by Commie Davis and was it not his grandfather that put the two together? I seem to believe I read that someplace..In any event, it goes to Obama’s impressionable years in Hawaii.
OBAMA: “I come out of a grassroots organizing background. That’s what I did for three and half years before I went to law school. That’s the reason I moved to Chicago was to organize. “

We were discussing why Obama went to Chicago the other day. The discussion didn’t go far when it was suggested he went for school. According to this statement,that isn’t so.
WHY DID BARAK OBAMA GO TO CHICAGO? WHO SENT HIM? WHO WAS WAITING FOR HIM?
His Hawaiian mentor FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS was previously active in Chicago. It isn’t difficult to believe Obama went to Chicago to join Ayers because of Davis’s teachings and associations.
