“Now, Obama’s mom being impregnated by her dad’s friend, Frank Marshall Davis, seems much more likely.”
Concurr....but it is icky. Should it be true, I can see why a cover up would happen. However, it would clear up any doubt about him being a NBC. The “cover-up” and fictious bio would be damaging. In today’s society...though unsavory.....being Grandad’s buddies son by daughter would not bear the stigma. The child cannot be held responsible for the unsavory aspects of his birth (if true). The only harm is making up a phoney geneology when the truth was better.
Obama would not want too much attention to be paid to Davis, the Communist activist, if Davis was his real father. It would create talk about how much influence Davis might have had on Obama growing up, and Obama does not need yet another item pointing to his Marxist tendencies.
The Davis connection seems more likely than Obama Sr being the father. Barry's mom would have known Davis during her teen years, and a married Davis seducing her would have presented problems to both Davis and her father, problems that would have been resolved by dangling an offer of a green card and citizenship if an African student named Obama would marry the wayward daughter.
One problem with this scenario is that a simpler solution would have been abortion, or the daughter taking a trip, having the baby, giving him up for adoption, and returning home.
