Obama
biographer David Maraniss wrote an 1139-word article,“The Audacity of
Doubt,” for The Washington Post on Sunday that purported to be a
refutation of what some critics have been saying about the President.
Maraniss focuses mostly on questions about Obama’s religion and place of
birth and pretends to have the answers.
However,Maraniss
ignored the fact that the critics were right four years ago when they
identified communist Frank Marshall Davis as Obama’s mentor in Hawaii
and the mysterious “Frank” from Obama’s book,Dreams from My Father.
Maraniss
had written a 10,000-word piece for the Post in 2008,when the
information could have made a difference in the campaign,ignoring this
critical fact. He told me in an email that he had ignored Davis because
he had somehow concluded that Davis didn’t have much of an impact on
Obama.
The Maraniss piece,“Though Obama
Had to Leave to Find Himself,It Is Hawaii That Made His Rise Possible,”
ran in the August 22,2008 edition of the Post.
Not
content to slink away with egg on his face for ignoring the story of
the century,Maraniss spent years working on a book about Obama,thinking
the public would regard it as definitive. He is suffering under a
delusion.

An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
