Jack Cashill gave ample evidence for Frank Marshall Davis as Barry’s ‘Pop’ in ‘Deconstructing Obama’. Also the poem that Frank Marshall Davis wrote about Madeline Payne (Obama’s “grandmother”) shows that Frank and Madeline had “horizontal” relations. Since Frank Marshall Davis had relations with Madeline, then the mathematical probability that they are Barry’s parents is VERY, VERY high.
‘37 Horizontal Cameos’:
# 21. Madeline
Twice annually
Madeline shopped in Paris and Rome;
Each year
A new WHITE Cadillac CONVERTIBLE
Her new penthouse apartment
Included four originals by Matisse
And had been the birthplace
Of six Broadway hits;
She was available by appointment
Only to select white Gentiles
Well rated in DUN & BRADSTREET
She was hospitalized
For a year at thirty-two
Because of a nervous breakdown
When her maid
Angry at being fired
Called her a floozy.
(’Black Moods - Uncollected and Unpublished Poems: Horizontal Cameos: 37 Portraits’, pg 220)
All indications are that this poem is about Madeline Payne especially the banking reference ‘Dun & Bradstreet’ and the white convertible reference.

I didn't know about that. I did know Frank was a swinger, and was likely doing both the mother and daughter, but the characteristics of Barack that make him resemble his Grandfather could only have come from Stanley Armour Dunham, or Stanley Ann Dunham. He couldn't have inherited those characteristics from Madelyn Payne.
If FMD and Madelyn had “horizontal relations” that does not lead to being Zero’s parents. Apparently he was wildly promiscuous. I am not going to read Cashill’s book, since you have, maybe you could give a couple of hints about his “ample” evidence. A poem doesn’t do it. Which may or many not reflect truth, anyway - if she had so much money, why did they live in a little apartment, why didn’t they own a nice beach house?
BTW, her name is spelled “Madelyn”, not “Madeline”, odd that FMD spelled it wrong.
Reading that “poem” in its entirety, he’s saying she had a penthouse apartment, went to Europe twice a year, had a Cadillac, and so on. How does anyone know it’s Mad. Dunham, when the name is spelled differently? Any evidence that Mad. Dunham went to Europe twice a year on shopping sprees and had a white Cadillac, apparenhtly a new one every year?
Hmmm ...
Where was that penthouse?
Where were the hit songs written?
Wichita?
Seattle?
Mercer Island?
Honolulu?
Ponca City?
Vernon, Texas?
El Dorado, Kansas?
I HIGHLY doubt that poem is referring to Madelyn Dunham. There is more in it that suggest someone else than suggests it was her. Grasping at straws.
I have never seen this Madeline poem before. It sure doesn’t sound like the sturdy middle class woman we know as Obama’s Toots. I don’t see her with the white caddy or the Matisse paintings. And I sure don’t see her bedding down with her husband’s commie buddy. I think FMD was writing about someone else, but changed her name.
