I'm sorry, I thought almost everyone on FR had heard of Dr. John Drew. It's an amazing story.

He tried to get his story out before the election. He asked Fox News to interview him and he was ignored.

Dr. John Drew attended Occidental College at the same time as Barack Hussein Obama.

He has now given several interviews of what occurred at that time and what Barack Obama told him to his face in their several meetings that they had together.

The story is quite amazing.

Clearly, we have been duped.

Dr. John C. Drew, now 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.”

I was asked before to turn all of this into a Vanity post, but I've never done one before, and I am unsure of how to do it.

Perhaps someone on Free Republic could do it for me?

Let’s say that John Drew’s story is true ( and it has all the signs of a genuine story ), Obama can always use the politician’s excuse -— “I was young and idealistic then. People’s views change over the years and my political views have evolved since I gained more experience in life.”

Not that I would believe him, but hey, such an excuse would be totally accepted by guys like Chris Matthews (whose leg would tingle one more time ).
