“You thought Jeremiah Wright was bad? Wait till you meet Obama’s real mentor!”

He is a communist, but describes himself as progressive. He expects Christians to support his ideas and vision for America, but advocates philosophies and policies often antithetical to Christian doctrine.
This is not a description of President Barack Obama, but it does describe one of Obama’s most influential mentors, according to Paul Kengor, author of “The Communist: Frank Marshall Davis, the Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mentor.”
Speaking Friday morning at Heritage Foundation headquarters in Washington, D.C., Kengor told the audience that the anti-American and racist worldview of Obama’s other mentor— the controversial Reverend Jeremiah Wright— “is tame” compared to what Davis advocated.
“Never before has an American president ever quite had a mentor like this,” Kengor said.
Davis, whom Stanley Anne Dunham—Obama’s mother—had introduced to her young son, was, quite literally, “a card carrying member of the Communist Party.”
Indeed, Davis was founding editor-in-chief of the Chicago Star, a communist publication. Davis later moved to Hawaii to help run a party publication, the Honolulu Record. His associations with people having a “direct connection to the Kremlin”—which sought to agitate anti-imperialist sentiments on the islands—is the reason “why the FBI listed him on the security index.”
“Davis was constantly, on and on, bashing the American way,” Kengor said.
