Really? I will have to check up on that one. I know huckleberry got it all wring.
Maybe you mean paternal grandfather? Does being imprisoned by the Brits automatically make you a marxist?
I'm confused. Perhaps you could enlighten us with reference to something you may not have heard about or mastered - an information source.

They questioned a communist who was running a school in Seattle that had communist teachers and a leftist curriculum, The Mercer Island School. Stanley was so excited about the idea of having his daughter taught by communists that he moved the family across country to Seattle.
Stanley was friends with Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Communist Party USA. Frank Marshall Davis was originally from Chicago and was friends with Vernon Jarrett also a communist party member (CPUSA). Vernon Jarrett was the father in law of Valerie Jarrett, who later became Obama's closet advisor and confidant. Stanley brought in Frank Marshall Davis to be Obama's mentor from the time Obama was twelve until he was eighteen.
Information sources confirming everything I've written are readily available. Just Google a few key words; it's really easy. If you're interested in reading a great book on Obama that gives insight into his twisted mind, I highly recommend "The Roots of Obama's Rage" by Dinesh D'Souza. It explains how Obama's world view was basically transplanted from his alchoholic, Marxist, bigamist father who hated Great Britain and western civilization.
