According to investigators Cliff Kincaid and Herbert Romerstein, Barack Obama has far left connections with Communist ties.  Herbert Romerstein was an investigator with the U.S. House Committee on Un-American Activities.  He also was an investigator with House Committee on Internal Security and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.  In addition Romerstein  was the head of the Office to Counter Soviet Disinformation with the U.S. Information Agency.
    Cliff Kincaid is an editor of Accuracy in Media's AIM Report and the president of America's Survival Inc.  This group monitors the UN and international terrorism.
    Kincaid and Romerstein  in their paper "Communism in Hawaii and the Obama Connection" link Obama to Frank Marshall Davis.  Davis was a black poet, journalist, and Communist Party member.  He moved from Chicago to Hawaii in 1948.  Davis was a reporter for the Chicago Star and then the Honolulu Record.  Kincaid and Romerstein  claim both are "communist front newspapers".  In Obama's book "Dreams from My Father" he mentions a mentor only named "Frank".  Trying to hid Frank's real identity?  Kathryn Takara of the University of Hawaii wrote a dissertation on the life of Frank Marshall Davis.  She confirmed that Davis influened Obama while at Punahou prep school from 1975 to 1979.
    In their second paper, "Communism in Chicago and the Obama Connection", Kincaid and Romerstein show how SDS members launched Obama's political career in the Illinois State Senate.  Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dorhn had a fundraiser at their Chicago home for Obama in1995.  Ayers and Dorhn were radicals with the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Weather Underground.  These groups received funding from the Communist Party of USA which was funded by Moscow.
    Alice Palmer, a black Illinois State Senator, was also at Ayers' and Dorhn's funraiser.  She decided to run for the US Congress in 1995, and she choose Barack Obama as her successor.  Alice Palmer was the ONLY black journalist  to go to the Soviet Union to attend the 27th Congress of the Communist Party of the USSR. Palmer even wrote an article in the People's Daily World, the Communist Party's USA newspaper about her trip.
