This whole ‘communism’ by heredity thing is a bit silly. You aren’t ‘born a communist’... just ask Stalin and Castro’s daughters. My political views are nothing like my fathers. Now if what you’re saying is that Davis, because he was a mentor to Obama had an influence.. that’s a different story..but most of these posts I see about Davis seem to suggest that communism is somehow inherited with the blood. Your post doesn’t go that far but I thought I’d throw it in as I’ve seen the ‘son of the evil commie’ meme a few too many times. It seems to me that if Obama’s grandparents had no problem with Davis being Obama’s mentor, I don’t see why they’d have a problem with him being known as the father. For one thing it would have saved the hi-jinks people describe them going through to get an American birth registered. As the child of two US citizens it would not have mattered if Obama was born in the Amazon rain forest, he’d have still been natural-born American. I also doubt there was concern over Davis’ martial status - the American left of that period as now was pretty much ‘free-love’ and all that. I agree with you, there is something this man wants hidden. Most likely in my opinion, he used ‘foreign student’ status to obtain funds for college.
Interesting points. No, political views are not passed “in the blood,” I agree.
I’m just trying to do what many are doing - figure out an explanation for Obama’s behavior. It might indeed be the “foreign student” issue.
