From that article (written in 2010):

“I see myself as a missing link between Barack Obama’s exposure to communism with Frank Marshall Davis and his later exposure to Bill Ayers and Alice Palmer in Chicago,” Drew told me.

Drew’s words — of which these are just the tip of the iceberg — are immensely important. To consider them, first consider this quick recap on Davis:

Frank Marshall Davis was Barack Obama’s mentor in Hawaii in the 1970s, right up until Obama left for college at Occidental. As I’ve shown at length in articles and a book, Davis was also a communist — in fact, an actual Communist Party member. In Dupes, I show this over the course of about sixty pages with help from numerous sources. Among them there is a 1957 U.S. Senate report, titled “Scope of Soviet Activity in the United States,” which described Davis as “an indentified member of the Communist Party.” Most illuminating, I found and have reprinted about a dozen pages from Davis’s declassified 600-page FBI file, including one (on page 507 of my book) that lists Davis’s actual Communist Party number: 47544. (Click here to view some of these documents.)

So Frank Marshall Davis was a communist, and it’s clear that he influenced Obama’s thinking. But how much, exactly? That’s where John Drew comes in.

Drew contacted me last year after reading an article I had written on Davis and Obama for American Thinker. Drew had some significant experiences to share, and he e-mailed me just before I turned in my final manuscript. I concluded that he was legitimate (no question) and recorded his testimony at length.

Drew was a contemporary of Obama at Occidental College and a Marxist himself. In fact, Drew was a well-known campus communist when Obama was introduced to him as “one of us.” “Obama was already an ardent Marxist when I met in the fall of 1980,” said Drew, going on the record.

Drew is certainly cognizant of the gravity of his statement. “I know it’s incendiary to say this,” he adds, but Obama “was basically a Marxist-Leninist.” He noted how Obama, in Dreams from My Father, stated that when he got to college, he attended “socialist conferences” and “hung out” with Marxist professors. But what Obama did not explain or clarify, says Dr. Drew, is that Obama “was in 100 percent, total agreement with these Marxist professors.”

I asked Drew where, precisely, he believes Obama stands today. Of course, Drew no longer knows Obama, and his main goal in reaching out to me was to clarify where Obama stood at Occidental, which is information that cannot be ignored. That said, he did tell me this: “There are a lot of brands of Marxism. That was one of the key ingredients of my argument with the young Barack Obama. I see evidence of [a] continuing commitment to Marxist ideology every time President Obama traces the furor of the public to underlying economic conditions and inevitable changes taking place in society. In the Marxist model, the economy is the driving force behind change in the other spheres of society.”
