Charles Ogletree is a long time friend and mentor to both Michelle and Barack Obama.

It also turns out that Ogletree was a hard core radical with roots in the Maoist influenced Black Panthers movement. It also seems that Ogletree is still a militant leftist and is still called on by the Obamas for advice.

In 1970, Charles Ogletree enrolled at Stanford University near San Francisco, then a major center of black activism. Ogletree became a campus radical, organizing an Afrocentric dormitory and editing a campus Black Panthers newspaper called The Real News. He also traveled to Africa and Cuba with student activist groups. In 1973 Ogletree was president of the radical Black Student Union.

Ogletree’s first interest in the law came when he attended the trial of Black Power activist and then Communist Party USA member Angela Davis.

The more I research the tentacles around Obama, the more I’m convinced that the origins - the locus of the web is the Communist Party USA’s 1940s, 1950s, 1960s [and continuing] concentrated effort to “Alinsky-Cone” the black population of Chicago. The active brainwashing assault on the country has been through the black population; started there, festered there, and came to fruition there [with branches in Detroit, etc.]. So I’m now wondering if Ogletree has/had a Chicago connection prior to Michelle and Barry. With the Black Panthers?

Thanks for the links. I may already have that info, but if not, it’ll be a couple of new threads in the web.
