Obama Espoused Radical Views in College [advocated communist revolution!]

Dr. John C. Drew, a grant writing consultant in Laguna Niguel, Calif., tells Newsmax he met Obama in 1980 when Obama was a sophomore at Occidental College in Los Angeles. Drew had just graduated from Occidental and was attending graduate school at Cornell University.
During Christmas break, Drew says he was at Grauman-Boss’ home in Palo Alto when Obama came over with Mohammed Hasan Chandoo, his roommate from Pakistan.
“Barack [Obama] and Hasan showed up at the house in a BMW, and then we went to a restaurant together,” Drew says. “We had a nice meal, and then we came back to the house and smoked cigarettes and drank and argued politics.”
For the next several hours, they discussed Marxism.
“He [Obama] was arguing a straightforward Marxist-Leninist class-struggle point of view, which anticipated that there would be a revolution of the working class, led by revolutionaries, who would overthrow the capitalist system and institute a new socialist government that would redistribute the wealth,” says Drew, who says he himself was then a Marxist.
“The idea was basically that wealthy people were exploiting others,” Drew says. “That this was the secret of their wealth, that they weren’t paying others enough for their work, and they were using and taking advantage of other people. He was convinced that a revolution would take place, and it would be a good thing.”
Drew concluded that Obama thought of himself as “part of an intelligent, radical vanguard that was leading the way towards this revolution and towards this new society.” ..."
Referring to Obama’s quote from “Dreams of My Father” that he associated with Marxist professors, Drew says, “What he’s not saying is that he was in 100 percent total agreement with those Marxist professors. When you understand that, Obama’s later associations and policies make more sense, including why he was taken in by Rev. Wright’s ideology.”

Ping!
Will there be a transcript that can be posted?
Not sure. I'll look into it. But if anyone wants to beat me to it, please feel free. I gotta eat breakfast now. :)
Someone may be able to get this and pass on the information.
Here are some stations which carry the show. I use this website all the time (for many shows): http://streamingradioguide.com/radio-show.php?show=460
Yeah those rich basketball players are exploiting the working man.
““He [Obama] was arguing a straightforward Marxist-Leninist class-struggle point of view, which anticipated that there would be a revolution of the working class, led by revolutionaries, who would overthrow the capitalist system and institute a new socialist government that would redistribute the wealth,” says Drew, who says he himself was then a Marxist.”
All of this type of information was available to voters 2 years ago. Of course, they would have had to spend 2 hours on their PC, but oh, that is such a hassle, man!
It will be interesting to see if Glenn Beck books this guy, and flies him to NY for an interview. His story certainly substantiates what Beck has been saying.
Watch the Breitbart B-Cast at: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2451423/posts
for an hour-long interview of Drew on 0’s Marxism.

Great link! Thank you.
Thanks! Will do.
I had accessed a small and feisty conservative website from Canada yesterday (SDA). They had this up for discussion. The interview with Dr John C. Drew was an eye opener. This was with Scott Baker and Liz Stephans. The intelligent and careful conduct of the interviewer/s brought out the subject perfectly.
I see that there are 53 replies and this is to the good. A telling point was made of a personal experience in that Barack Obama was no "summer soldier" in the burgeoning Marxism that he was being exposed to. Not a fad like some of the students engaged in, just for a bit nonsense and an excuse.
This young man (Barack) appeared dead serious and wanted in on any overt action. Something or someone must have persuaded him that there was a different way. He then faded into a temporary obscurity.
A potential for some very unpleasant things exists here.
Which may well explain the great mystery of his Columbia College/University years, a time when Bill Ayers was attending Bank Street College, a mere 3 or 4 blocks away.
“A telling point was made of a personal experience in that Barack Obama was no “summer soldier” in the burgeoning Marxism that he was being exposed to. Not a fad like some of the students engaged in, just for a bit nonsense and an excuse.”
The interview explained why 0 went unnoticed at Columbia, a question many of us have had. The students at Columbia had moved on from the Marxism fad and his passionate beliefs in Marxism had no place there. Consequently, he had no support network of followers and his ideas did not stand out.
