Barack Obama, from Dreams from My Father, Three Rivers Press, New York, Revised Edition, 2004, ISBN 1-4000-8277-3, p. 76-7:
"But by the time I met Frank [Frank Marshall Davis] he must have been pushing eighty, with a big, dewlapped face and an ill-kempt gray Afro that made him look like an old, shaggy-maned lion. He would read us his poetry whenever we stopped by his house, sharing whiskey with Gramps out of an emptied jelly jar."

Obamas Red Mentor Praised Red Army
AIM Report | By Cliff Kincaid | April 30, 2008
Barack Obamas childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA, wrote a poem dedicated to the Soviet Red Army. Smash on, victory-eating Red Army, he declared. He also wrote poems attacking traditional Christianity and the work of Christian missionaries.
The Red Army poem goes beyond hoping for the communists to beat the Nazis in World War II and hails the Soviet revolution. It says:
Show the marveling multitudes
Americans, British, all your allied brothers
How strong you are
How great you are
How your young tree of new unity
Planted twenty-five years ago
Bears today the golden fruit of victory!

excerpt...
"through Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his 'poetry' and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just 'Frank.'
The reason is apparent: Davis was a known communist who belonged to a party subservient to the Soviet Union. In fact, the 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA member. What's more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several communist-front organizations."
Frank Chapman, a CPUSA supporter, has written a letter to the party newspaper hailing the Illinois senator's victory in the Iowa caucuses:
"Obamas victory was more than a progressive move; it was a dialectical leap ushering in a qualitatively new era of struggle. Marx once compared revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his movement on the surface. This is the old revolutionary 'mole,' not only showing his traces on the surface but also breaking through."
People's Weekly World (PWW), official newspaper of the Communist Party, USA

Thanks....very interesting!
It’s weird that Obama looks almost exactly like his white grandfather. Last night Obama compared his own ears to Alfred E. Neuman. Good graphic!
[Its weird that Obama looks almost exactly like his white grandfather.]
Nit, that’s why I made that slideshow! They keep trying to say Davis is his father. Obama looks nothing like his own father.
I have posted what you say, that he looks almost identical to his grandfather Dunham - and nobody will reply to it because they ‘want something else’.

Grampa’s big ears bump
Big ears yes, but he was a good looking man. Obama resembles him strongly but to me he missed out on the more ‘manly’ look. Maybe it’s just his mean look.
Thanks for the post!
I wonder if anyone has put in a request for a FOIA file on Stanley Dunham.
.
Dunham steered him to a real Commie
That is one nutcase family Obama sprouted from
Thanks for the ping. Communists are supporting Obama in this country and all over the world.
Too cool.
obumpa
Whenever I see that kid, I wonder what his life is like now, or if he’s even still alive.
BTTT
Smoke but no fire.
More like another piece of the puzzle.
