Obama Espoused Radical Views in College

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.

Drew’s then girlfriend, Caroline Boss—now Grauman-Boss—knew Obama because she shared classes with him at Occidental.

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.

“He 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.”

Ok, so Hussein drove up in a BMW, went out to a restaurant, went back to the house for smokes and drinks, expounded on how the wealthy were exploiting the poor working class, and now they’re all rolling in money. Did I get that right?

“Now, how about his Occidental (or ANY school) transcripts?”

Nawww...what you want to see are his student LOAN records...the documents that show where Barry Soetoro played the short con by encouraging white liberal college officials to convince themselves that he was a destitute, but exceedingly deserving foreign student...

Why do you think it’s not news? I doubt 2% of liberals know Obama held communist beliefs when he was in college. Our job is to keep that information in their faces until they explain to us that it’s no longer true...

this isn’t a surprise given his involvement with the SDS then.
Obama was involved with the SDS in 1980?

Quite a feat, since the organization disbanded in 1969.

————————They did not disband. They simply ‘changed’ their name....

Chandoo is clearly being dishonest about his white house visit. I believe it is much more likely he met with Obama.

If Chandoo in fact did meet with Obama at the white house ramadan dinner last fall, the facts point to a likelihood that they are perhaps involved in a Marxist plot.

Obama, as my mother would hve said, may not be bright enough to be a communist. He’s probably just one of their useful idiots.
