Frank Marshal Davis may have financed Zer0’s attendance at Occidental. Later, he introduced Zer0 to Khalid al-Mansour. Al-Mansou, close adviser to a Saudi billionaire and royal family helped Obama get into Harvard Law School (and reportedly Columbia before that) and financed his education and advancement.
It was also Bill Ayers’ father, the Communist, who had his hand in the pot. Frank Marshall Davis who introduced Zer0 to Thomas G. Ayers, father of terrorist, Bill Ayers. Thomas G. Ayers has been called the “Godfather of Illinois Politics.” It was Thomas who financed young Barack Obama’s rise to power in Chicago.
