We begin with Andy Martins work.
Although I have viewed Andy Martin, author of The Man Behind the Mask, with a wary eye because of his partisan views, I wonder if he is now onto a very damaging lead involving Obamas college years.
Martin is one of a handful of researchers investigating Obamas ties to Ayers, mastermind of the The Weather Underground, who remains unrepentant for crimes of terrorism inflicted upon innocent Americans. Many of us have asserted that Obamas relationship with Ayers is far more extensive than Obama let on when he insisted that Ayers is just a guy in the neighborhood ...
The Mainstream Media ...has (finally) noticed that Obama is hiding records from Columbia University ... its not just Obamas academic files that are missing, but the files of his life. The Wall Street Journal had a story entitled Obamas Lost Years:
What can be said with some certainty is that Mr. Obama lived off campus while at Columbia and made few friends. Fox News contacted some 400 of his classmates and found no one who remembered him.
Martin questions whether this mysterious period of Obamas life has to do with William Ayers:
Is it just a coincidence that Obama and Ayers were on the Columbia campus together? Did they meet and make their initial contact at that time? Had Obama been turned on to Ayers by Frank Marshall Davis? Was there a Khalid Al-Mansour and William Ayers connection during this early period.
Did Ayers point Obama in the direction of Chicago as a place to hone Obamas organizing skills?

Below is a list of Barack Obamas friends and roommates who knew him in high school and college.

Nam Survivor,
Thanks for your service to America and continued service through this forum!
Check this out and feel free to post it as a topic.
I was googeling Davis and the website —connectionjunction came up with these posts, assumed to be between Frank Marshall Davis’s son, named Mark, and some blogger. The blogger, Frank, does a great job of exposing the problem with their relationship from the point of worldview, however he does not delve into the question of fatherhood...................................I’ll have to return to the search, another blogger is comparing the facial structure of BHO to FMD and BHOSr and sees a stronger resemblence in the first two men.
** How ironic of this to occur when the Kos kids are insanely requesting Trig’s DNA. If there is truth here, Barry’s DNA could be the surprise of the century to all but Grandma Dunham!

As the son of Frank Marshall Davis, I am fighting the right-wing disinformation campaign that exaggerates my fathers radical influence over Barack Obama in Hawaii. Please read my blog at http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/blog/Kaleokualoha.

We appreciate your service Mark, but thats not the issue.
Your father, Frank Marshall Davis, is a Marxist. Thats a fact, and he had enough of an influence on Barack Hussein Obama that BHO wrote about him in his book, Dreams From My Father. Now we come to the pure simple fact that Barack Hussein Obama is a Marxist as well. What are we to think? That BHO became a Marxist but your Marxist fathers influence had nothing to do with it? Thats a bit of a stretch.
BTW: I see you are flying Obamas logo on your site. If I put a hammer and sickle on my site it would be reasonable for visitors to peg me as a communist. I would expect that. What I find troubling is people like Obama and your father who are Marxist but try to deny it.
The unverified cv on your site is impressive but I have to question what you have posted because it does not square one whit with the honor you bestow on your father and your association now with Obama.

If by Marxist you mean that he advocates replacing capitalism with communism, then you are dead wrong.
The focus of my site is not the actual qualifications of Barack Obama to become POTUS. It is the disinformation campaign that exaggerates my fathers radical influence on him. I have challenged Cliff Kincaid (and everyone else) to refute the specific misrepresentations I have identified on my blog at http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/Kaleokualoha/gGxdvX.

Lets forget your red herrings about the purpose of your site and Cliff Kincaid. The subject is the ideology of Frank Marshall Davis and whether he had an influence on the formation of Barack Obamas ideology.
I have never joined a capitalist organization per se yet everybody that knows me is aware that Im a capitalist.
I have never joined a right-of-center political organization but everybody that has engaged me in political conversation and / or read my political writings know I am more conservative than liberal.
Your father was a communist. I dont give a rats ass whether he ever joined the Communist Party or ever wrote one word about overthrowing the U.S. government or not, he spent his adult life writing and working to undermine capitalism and federalism and those are bedrock principles of American democracy. Ergo, he was for everything I despise which is the same system I see in Russia, Cuba, China and now Venezuela. Its called Marxism or communism, pick one.
That brings us to the point that Obama is a communist as well. He has exposed his ideology and in his book he spells out how he got to where is is today, ideologically.
Hes been on the campaign trail for over a year and I have heard his speeches and read his writings. Hes communist to the core. What the hell do you think he means by economic justice? He favors a group of elitist running the country and distributing the wealth based on need; so did Stalin; so did your father.
As to whether your father influenced Obama or not: Obama brought it up. I think Ill take his word over your hysterical, agenda-driven denials.
you’re wondering if BHO is really grandma Dunhams kid? I hadn’t even thought of THAT one!.....no thread for me, I hadn’t bothered with this much at all until I happened to click the link at the top of this thread yesterday, beyond reading bits and pieces here.

No, that thought NEVER occurred to me and I’m confused as to why you would think that, given his appearance or what I wrote. You were toying with the idea that he was FMDs kid in post #11. And so I googled FMD Obama Father and apparently several other people suspect the same. I’m not sure I buy the theory regardless of the physical resmblence. FMD would have been pretty old and SAD would have been quite young.
He was his Communist Mentor and Father-figure, that we know for sure, the rest is purely conjecture, at this point.
The end of Obama is beginning to unwind into sordid explanation of repulsive sexual relationships connected to the Dunham family and Barry Dunham-Davis, Soetoro, Obama or whatever the heck his name actually was or is. It is a long read, but the pieces of the puzzle are beginning to be laid out. Also, read through the accompanying comments and theories that follow including the poem Barry wrote with its striking sexual overtones. (Who is the Pop in the poem? Grandpa, BHOSr or Frank?) This has got to lead to the October surprise.

“No, that thought NEVER occurred to me and Im confused as to why you would think that”
only your comment re “surprise of the century to all but Gma Dunham” in #24 above.....sorry for late reply....
Okay, realize most of that post is pasted material , and not my thoughts. But what it does question is whether Davis is the real father and not the Dunham gramps. I guess it’s possible, but not that probable.
