[a fool in paradise]

Interestingly, a man interviewed on Fox News who said he was classmate of Obama's remembered him as being a hard-core Marxist.

In Obama's OWN autobiography (which he may or may not have written himself):

"I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist Professors and the structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets. At night, in the dorms, we discussed neocolonialism, Franz Fanon, Eurocentrism, and patriarchy. When we ground out our cigarettes in the hallway carpet or set our stereos so loud that the walls began to shake, we were resisting bourgeois society's stifling constraints." - Barack Hussein Obama

I believe it--I went to school there. His reference to grinding out cigarettes in the hallway carpet may indicate that he was in the same dorm where I stayed, which had wall-to-wall carpeting. The dorm also had a small library, which had a subscription to Human Events, and each week I would read it cover to cover.
