“Dreams From My Father” Frank Turns Out To Be Black Communist Radical Frank Marshall Davis

Barack Obama’s 40-page “rebuttal” to Jerome Corsi’s book, The Obama Nation, acknowledges for the first time that the senator once had a personal relationship with identified and the then old Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA (CPUSA) member Frank Marshall Davis, (1905-1987) a key high-level operative in a Soviet-sponsored network in Hawaii. In Obama’s book, “Dreams From My Father,” he repeatedly refers to his friend and adviser as “Frank” and it turns out that is Frank Marshal Davis. A sympathetic article by an Obama and Davis supporter in the Western Journal of Black Studies titled “Frank Marshall Davis: A Forgotten Voice in the Chicago Black Renaissance,” further ties Obama to this radical during his days as a “community organizer.”

The Obama “rebuttal” doesn’t identify the black activist Davis as a hard-core communist. Obama critics are saying Obama’s sympathy with a known communist may explain his reticence during last week’s Russian invasion of Georgia. The questions Obama critics asks are: Did Obama’s position reflect inexperience in foreign affairs, the influence of advisers (at least one of which is tied to Davis and a by a defected Soviet U. N. based Master Spy to other sympathizers, or an ideological tendency to take Russia’s side in global affairs against the U.S. and its allies?

I have not read Corsi’s book, and likely won’t — others I know who have say it is disappointingly thin but if just 10% is true it is a damning indictment of Barack Obama. Reading Obama’s 40-page refutation initially sounds good until its scabs are picked at, and tehn it too is exposed as very thin.
