Barack Obama has written in his autobiography that he organized his life around the ideals imparted by his Kenyan father, Barak H. Obama, a Harvard-trained economist. So what were those ideals?

-- "active" measures to bring about a classless society
There's a big mystery at the heart of Barack Obama's "Dreams For My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance." What was Barack Obama doing seeking out Marxist professors in college?
