Who Is Tom Fife?
Tom Fife was a government contractor with an active security clearance, who took notes on his trips for Defense Intelligence Agency debriefings within the Department of Defense. In 1992, following an astounding conversation at a dinner party in Moscow, he took down notes for future reference. It was long before the world ever heard the name “Barack Obama.”
Students of revisionist history will remember that Bill Clinton disappeared from Oxford University in England for a while in 1970 and surfaced in Moscow purportedly to be trained in communism.
“Well, I think you are going to be surprised when you get ablack president very soon,” she said. The concensus we expressed was that we didn’t think there was anything innately barring that. The right person at the right time and sure, America would try to vote for the right person, be he or she, black or not.
“What if I told you that you will have a black president very soon, and he will be a communist?” she said. “Well, you will, and he will be a communist.”
One of us asked, “It sounds like you know something we don’t know.”
“Yes, it is true,” she replied. “This is not some idle talk. He is already born, and he is educated and being groomed to be president right now. You will be impressed to know that he has gone to the best schools of presidents. He is what you call ‘Ivy League.’ You don’t believe me, but he is real, and I even know his name. His name is Barack. His mother is white and his father is black from Africa. That’s right, a mixed baby! And he’s going to be president.”
She said something to the effect that America was at the same time the great hope and the great obstacle for communism. America would have to be CONVERTED to communism, and Barack was going to pave the way.
So, what does this conversation from 1992 prove?
… It doesn’t prove that Obama has had Soviet communist training nor that he was groomed to be the first black American president, but it DOES SHOW one thing that I think is important. It shows that Soviet Russian communists KNEW of Barack from a very early date. It also shows that they truly believed among themselves that he was raised and groomed communist to pave the way for their future. This report on Barack came to me personally from one of THEM (communist) long before America knew he existed.

Horne, a history professor at the University of Houston, noted that Davis, who moved to Honolulu from Kansas in 1948 "at the suggestion of his good friend Paul Robeson," came into contact with Barack Obama and his family and became the young man's mentor, influencing Obama's sense of identity and career moves. Robeson, of course, was the well-known black actor and singer who served as a member of the CPUSA and apologist for the old Soviet Union. Davis had known Robeson from his time in Chicago.
As Horne describes it, Davis "befriended" a "Euro-American family" that had "migrated to Honolulu from Kansas and a young woman from this family eventually had a child with a young student from Kenya East Africa who goes by the name of Barack Obama, who retracing the steps of Davis eventually decamped to Chicago."
Most Americans, [Michelle Obama] said, don't want much.
"They don't want the whole pie," she told the women. "There are some who do, but most Americans feel blessed just being able to thrive a little bit. But that is becoming even more out of reach."
After law school, she and Barack were beset by loans they'd still be paying had her husband not written two best-sellers, "The Audacity of Hope" and "Dreams From My Father."
Those debts early in their marriage, she said, equips her husband to better understand the problems many Americans face.
Should she become first lady, she said she'd focus on family issues.
"If we don't wake up as a nation with a new kind of leadership...for how we want this country to work, then we won't get universal health care," she said.
"The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more."
