Exactly,
Who hasn’t figured out yet besides the NYT’s that Frank Marshall Davis is that obama creatures daddy,

Obama’s legacy is going down. They need a new romantic angle on their POTUS.

I’ve read so many stories about who his dad might be. The amount of secrecy about his past is unnerving, to say the least.
