I was interested in reading your comments from Dr. John Drew who recounted his experiences with Obama while Obama was a student at Occidental.

When I was taking economics, I was told that Marxism was intended as an economic idea, not a political one.

Karl Marx also said that if you divided up all the money in a culture so that everyone had an equal share, it would not take five years before a low — middle — and upper class would come into being. That thought has never left me.

But back to college friends, has anyone ever come forward and admitted knowing Obama at Harvard? Or the other university he transferred to from Occidental? I’ve never seen anything written by anyone who said he knew Obama.

Here’s a direct link to the section:

Funny you should ask. The article below is the source of the most dangerous quote about obama I have ever read. I still cannot believe it did not get more attention. Which is why I post it whenever the opportunity presents itself. :-)
