Was barack Hussein Obama mentored by the known communist frank marshall Davis?

Answer 1

The "mentor" myth, although it may be flattering to the Davis family, is a critical element of the disinformation campaign against the Obama-Davis relationship. This "Obama's Communist Mentor" Propaganda attempts to smear President Obama by misrepresenting Davis and misrepresenting their relationship.

Although Obama's book indicates "Frank" was a family friend who offered him advice on racial issues, Obama wrote that Davis "fell short" and his views were "incurable." Obama's book proves that Obama did not consider Davis to be a "wise and trusted counselor," which is the standard definition of "mentor." By what creative definition can Davis be considered his "mentor"?

Further, according to "Dreams," Obama visited Davis only twice on his own after visiting with Gramps: once to discuss his grandmother's bus stop incident, and three years later before leaving for college. When could any "communist" training occur?

There is no evidence that Davis discussed politics or economics with Obama, much less any evidence that he discussed socialism. There is no evidence that Obama or Gramps were even aware of Davis's CPUSA involvement. Such propaganda is par for the course in the Conservative Disinformation Network.
