Davis was a civil rights icon of his era, a union organizer, and a card carrying Communist. According to Martin, Sen Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, had a relationship with Davis, who was already married at the time.
“Davis was already married to a White Woman. He did not need a nonmarital child by a second one. Ann probably refused to have what was then called a ‘back alley’ abortion. Davis may have felt that ‘Obama’ would face less stigma with an ‘African’ background than a Negro one. The civil rights revolution, of course, turned that gambit upside down. In discovering and understanding what happened we cannot forget we are dealing with events in 1961, not 2008.
Martin claims that his investigations have uncovered that Sen Obama's birth certificate probably listed no father, a fact that he has tried to cover up to this day. Davis, Dunham and Barack Obama, Sr, entered into an agreement to name Obama as the father, thus sparing everyone the embarrassment of scandal.
Ironically, the revelation that Martin has claimed to uncover, while it explains much about why Sen Obama has been so secretive about his family relations with his grandmother, and the circumstances surrounding his birth, it dashes most of the hopes of those who would claim that Sen Obama is a Muslim, or that he is not a natural born American citizen.
“Ironically, what I have to say today dilutes the ‘Muslim’ theory that has propagated. Davis was not a Muslim. If Obama had told the truth at some point in his life, instead of living endlessly with the lies that were imposed on him by the adults in his life, we would have avoided a great deal of confusion. I, for one, have deep compassion for Mr. Obama. He is not the first person in history to be caught up in this kind of family fraud.
“The disclosure by the two women in his life that he was not the ‘son’ of his ‘father’ also explains why he manifests such extreme ambivalence to both his mother and grandmother. He is angry because he was cheated of his real father.
Martin makes the assumption that the sudden decision of Sen Obama to suspend his campaign and rush to Hawaii was out of fear that his grandmother would divulge the secrets to Martin, or perhaps make a death bed confession that would embarrass the senator.
If true, the revelations certainly explain why the relations between grandmother and grandson have appeared to be so strained for decades. Martin points to photos appearing in the local newspapers of a young Obama hugging his grandmother -- photos more than 30 years old. There are no photos of the two that are less than 25 years old.
Speaking of photos, The Astute Blogger has a side by side by side comparison of photos of Davis, Obama and Obama senior. You decide.
The question now must be, is this the end of the revelations into Sen Obama's past, or only the beginning.
