In his biography of Barack Obama, David Mendell writes about Obama's life as a "secret smoker" and how he "went to great lengths to conceal the habit." But what about Obama's secret political life? It turns out that Obama's childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, was a communist. In his books, Obama admits attending "socialist conferences" and coming into contact with Marxist literature.

1. Barack Obama WILL be elected President! I cant wait.
2. nothing secret about that... anybody who can think can easily see he's a socialist.
3. Is this really true? It's shocking if it is
4. so far: 1. did drugs when he was young 2. smoked 3. Hung around an anti- American for 20 years Looks like he has addiction problems. Lets throw a lengthy video game at him and see if he plays that instead of campaining
5. Im glad he quit smoking - its healthier. Did you know the Hillary was a young republican? I thought that was ironic. I guess there was more money in being a lib.
6. You seem to be obsessed with investigating every word Obama says, LOOKING for ways to distort his words and meanings. Why not look at other candidates' backgrounds? "Hillary Clinton's Controversial Pastor": http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/3/19/172656/141/834/480201
