See BO Admit Seeking Advice from Communist -Unearthed Video Confirms Identity of Mentor Frank Marshall Davis
Barack Obama Sr., Barack Obama II and Frank Marshall Davis

While it’s been widely believed that the “Frank” in President Obama’s “Dreams from My Father” memoir was prominent Communist Party activist Frank Marshall Davis, Obama himself can be heard acknowledging the identity in a 1995 lecture broadcast on municipal TV that now is being spotlighted by an advocacy group.
In “The Author Series” program by Cambridge Municipal Television in Massachusetts, Obama referred to a passage in his book in which Davis “schools” him on race relations.
Significantly, while “Frank” is mentioned 22 times in “Dreams from My Father,” the audio version – released shortly after Obama’s famous 2004 speech at the Democratic National Convention – purged all references to Davis.
In the Sept. 28, 1995, TV program, Obama refers to Davis only as a well-known poet, but Cliff Kincaid, president of American Survival, who highlighted the recently posted video of the broadcast, pointed out Davis was a card-carrying member of the Communist Party USA who was the subject of a 600-page FBI file.
Kincaid argues Obama’s reference to being schooled on race relations is further evidence that Obama was mentored by Davis during his teen years.
Just two months ago, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was widely scorned for stating Obama “was influenced by Frank Marshall Davis, who was a communist.”
Obama states in the 1995 lecture: “And the conversation finally ends with me having a conversation with a close friend of my maternal grandfather, a close friend of gramps, a black man from Kansas named Frank. Actually at the time a fairly well known poet named Frank Marshall Davis who had moved to Hawaii and lived there. And so I have a discussion with him about the kinds of frustrations I’m having and he sort of schools me that I should get used to these frustrations.”

Kincaid said that along with being a prominent communist propagandist, Davis was a porn photographer and possibly a pedophile.
Kincaid said the confirmation of the identify of “Frank” doesn’t make much difference politically since Obama is in the last two years of his second term, but he believes it could have made a difference in 2008.
Kincaid said Obama’s comments in 1995 align with the view of him as an “angry young man” who was preoccupied with race relations.
He notes Obama’s comment about being “without father figures around who might guide and steer my anger.”
