Was Obama's "Mentor and Father Figure" a Pedophile?

The National Enquirer (yes, the same tabloid that broke the John Edwards affair scandal) is reporting that Frank Marshall Davis, whom Obama referred to as a "mentor and father figure" in Dreams of My Fathers, has admitted to living a secret double life. The Enquirer claims that Davis admits of his sexual deviancy, including pedophilia and sexual perversion.

First, even though the Enquirer was correct about the Edwards story, it's hard to say whether this is truthful or not. Second, the media isn't going to touch this story with a ten-foot pole. Third, even if it were reported, the media will immediately write it off as McCain's smearing lies and personal attacks. Fourth, even if it were determined to be true, it probably wouldn't hurt him with his base.
