Frank Marshall Davis (December 31, 1905, Arkansas City, Kansas; July 26, 1987, Honolulu, Hawaii) was an American journalist, poet and political and labor movement activist. In 1950 he was investigated by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) for comments he made in columns written for the newspaper Honolulu Record, as well as other activities that the HUAC alleged were connected to the Communist Party USA.[1]
As Obama remembered, "It made me smile, thinking back on Frank and his old Black Power, dashiki self. In some ways he was as incurable as my mother, as certain in his faith, living in the same sixties time warp that Hawaii had created."[14] Obama also remembered Frank later in life when he took a job in South Chicago as a community organizer when he took some time one day and visited the areas where Frank had lived and wrote in his book, "I imagined Frank in a baggy suit and wide lapels, standing in front of the old Regal Theatre, waiting to see Duke or Ella emerge from a gig."

Barack Obama has a long history of questionable associations so why then should we be surprised that as president he would take what he learned from CPUSA, and others and not apply those to things such as Nationalized Healhtcare, and spending money even though we don't have any. The man is an unquestioned socialist or in PC speak Progressive Liberal thinker, and even more so a communist. I am frankly not surprised at all at the direction his Administration has taken thus far, and I'm sure with many years left on his term perhaps this nation will come to it's collective senses and see that when the destruction is complete he really said meant what he said by "CHANGE"
