A new book being released this week chronicles Barack Obama�s early days in Hawaii when he was mentored by Frank Marshall Davis, a card carrying communist.
Dr. Paul Kengor�s book, The Communist, has the subtitle of Frank Marshall Davis: The Untold Story of Barack Obama�s Mentor. The book details Kengor�s research and interviews with those who knew Obama back in those days. Although the book traces the influence that Davis had Obama, Kengor is careful not to come out right and label Obama a communist, but does say that the influences of that teaching explains many of his policies we�ve seen over the past three years.
He was even able to access released FBI profiles that contained information that verified some of Kengor�s findings. In one account, Kengor describes his interview with John Drew who knew Obama well while attending Occidental College. Kengor quotes Drew as saying:
�Obama was already an ardent Marxist when I met him in the fall of 1980.
