This indicates that Obama was identified early by Frank Marshall Davis and handed off to the Ayers’ in Chicago for grooming and development into what would be the Left’s Trojan Horse in taking the US in the direction of socialism and collectivism. The young Barack, a not particularly bright, but nevertheless engaging and articulate young black man who seemed eager to please in exchange for a free ride to the top, made the perfect empty vessel for his handlers to pour their ideology into. Hence the inexplicable admissions into Columbia and Harvard Law (apparently bankrolled by the Ayers and other), the ceremonial appointment as president of the HLR (for which he never wrote a legal opinion), then the soft landing among political activists as a community organizer in Chicago (and where he found his spiritual “home” with radical Reverend Jeremiah Wright) and later being catapulted into Illinois State and US Senate seats (using a fair amount of political trickery and manipulation, plus the alliances formed at Rev Wright’s “church” and in Bill Ayers’ living room).
inexplicable admissions into Columbia and Harvard Law
Not inexplicable at all.
Engaging and articulate young black men were in great demand so institutions could demonstrate their non-racism. Still are, FTM.
Then and now, they're not all that common.
