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.”
“obama will be impeached before his term is over...”
Yeah, that worked out so well for conservatives during Clinton’s term.
Does obuma have any idea of how many million communists have been killed by Americans? I’d guess that Truman, LBJ, Nixon and Reagan have killed at least 10 million commies. The dork obuma is in the wrong country to be embracing communism.
obama is no Clinton.
People should be looking into what OBOZO and Company knew about McPAIN that kept McPAIN Quiet and made blatant steps to purposely LOOSE the Election!!

I think it related more to McCain’s super-inflated sense of honor, that he felt it was beneath his dignity to question who Obama was. He wanted to win on the issues, not take his opponent out on character issues. He saw it as a contest between him and Obama and didn’t take into consideration that it was the American people who were being cheated and who would be the big losers.
We know that O is not capable of change. If Obama thought in college that a revolution would be needed to put his vision in power, now after failing to adopt his plans as legislation, and being resistive of changing, I would expect they would be setting plans to get their way outside of legislation.
The Fourth Estate has become the Fifth Column!
Huh?
The only ones surprised about this are the “Republicans” who supported him, the children of Richard M. Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and William F. Buckley, Jr., for instance.
Professional historians continue to repudiate Joe McCarthy, but he was right, and JFK and RFK knew it!
McPain is like Dewey, happy to have submitted his proposals even though they were rejected by the American people. And then there were Republicans “wild about Harry” and Obama.
I think the dolts in AZ will again nominate McPain because they have heard of him and “he tried”, they will say.
What if the people can’t figure it out? Many won’t admit any kind of mistake.
Obama would know that, I presume. It’s his backers who remain forever more clueless.
Chandoo is an executive with Oppenheimer. The other paki roommate is an exec with Pepsico. Successful capitalists both.
Then we will have a communist led government as far as the eye can see.
Maybe he's right, but you kind of wonder: how much of a role did alcohol (on one side or the other) play in anecdotes like this.
This is why no one should be surprised at what he does to America. I have never been so depressed about my country’s future.
“People remember Obama at Occidental but why doesn’t anyone remember him at Columbia?”
But they remember him in Kenya.

Or maybe spoiled punk Billy Ayers and the wealth he got through his father and Commonwealth Edison.
