Just how much does it take to see the real person here?

I’m afraid the people are so far gone to the evil side, they just don’t care anymore. Whatever it takes to be in power.

For most Obama supporters, having a communist for a mentor is a plus. The younger ones don’t know what a communist is. The older ones know and don’t care. Or don’t know and don’t care.

Obama’s base is the left, the hard left, the really young, and the couch-potato Oprah-watchers. He’s counting on the couch-potato vote to put him over the top.

No doubt this isn’t the same Frank Marshall Davis he knew before.

Here's a terrific article from IBD which mentions Frank here:
Barack Obama's Stealth Socialism

...

The seeds of his far-left ideology were planted in his formative years as a teenager in Hawaii — and they were far more radical than any biography or profile in the media has portrayed.

A careful reading of Obama's first memoir, "Dreams From My Father," reveals that his childhood mentor up to age 18 — a man he cryptically refers to as "Frank" — was none other than the late communist Frank Marshall Davis, who fled Chicago after the FBI and Congress opened investigations into his "subversive," "un-American activities."

As Obama was preparing to head off to college, he sat at Davis' feet in his Waikiki bungalow for nightly bull sessions. Davis plied his impressionable guest with liberal doses of whiskey and advice, including: Never trust the white establishment.

"They'll train you so good," he said, "you'll start believing what they tell you about equal opportunity and the American way and all that sh**."

After college, where he palled around with Marxist professors and took in socialist conferences "for inspiration," Obama followed in Davis' footsteps, becoming a "community organizer" in Chicago.

Choices, choices, pappy was a Marxist, friends are Communists, Obambi is a collectivist, in his own words. When you get right down to it there isn't much to choose from. I vote Obambi stick with just plain old Communism, natural extension of collectivism.

All of it is un-American — Obambi’s cult of personality is much more European.

Communists, Black Supremacists, anti-Semites, Weather Underground—you can learn a lot about a person by the company he keeps.

I knew there was a reason why I kept hearing ‘The Internationale’ playing in my head whenever I listen to Obama speak.

This unusual debate, which is taking place on Obama’s official website, raises the question once again as to why Obama has not been asked by the major media about this relationship.

Oh please....
The "major media" Democrat newsrooms will continue to protect Obama the way a mother protects a slow child. They are as likely to ask about Obama's communist leanings as they are to ask about his Muslim upbringing or his cozy relationship with domestic terrorists like Bill Ayers.

Obama writes in Dreams From My Father that he saw “Frank” only a few days before he left Hawaii for college, and that Davis seemed just as radical as ever. Davis called college “An advanced degree in compromise” and warned Obama not to forget his “people” and not to “start believing what they tell you about equal opportunity and the American way and all that ####.” Davis also complained about foot problems, the result of “trying to force African feet into European shoes,” Obama wrote.

Testing everything from pot to Marxism to black power while at Occidental College in L.A., Obama was a regular rebel, alienated from the bourgeoisie, black and politically active. Eager to stake a role in the black community, Obama made sure to choose his friends and groups carefully, despite his interest in a wide variety of student organizations: “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.” (p. 100, 101)

With two years of college left and plagued with uncertainty about his future, Obama decided to take advantage of the transfer program between Occidental and Columbia University. His decision was influenced by a desire to anchor his African heritage in a place — something he was unable to do growing up in Hawaii: “What I needed was a community, I realized, a community that cut deeper than the common despair that black friends (and muslim friends - traveled to Pakistan in 1981) and I shared when reading the latest crime statistics.” (p. 115)

http://www.time.com/time/2007/candidates_books/obama/1.html

* “I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER'S RACE”

* “I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites”

* “That hate hadn't gone away,” he wrote, blaming “white people — some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming
power over our lives.”

* About student life and race at Occidental College Obama wrote “There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.” He added: “To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”

* While in college, Obama wrote(he) disapproved of what he called other “half-breeds” who gravitated toward whites instead of blacks.

But then one day he met Regina. She was one of the first to call him Barack instead of Barry.

She told him to push beyond the bitterness: the world is unfair, sure, but people were counting on him to make it better.

Regina (no one knows her real name) was from the South Side of Chicago. She had a rootedness in the black world that Obama could only dream of. Obama was a black American but he had nowhere in black America to call home. He was not from the South Side or Compton or Harlem or West Philly or the South or anywhere like that. But one day he would make the South Side his home and put down roots.

In the second year at Occidental he took part in the divestment campaign: to get Occidental to pull its money out of companies that did business in South Africa. Mandela was still in prison and South Africa was under nakedly white rule.

If this is all true, or not come to think of it, is a status enhancement for a DemonRat candidate.
