Obama Argued For a "Straightforward Marxist-Leninist Revolution" While in College

From Weasel Zippers:

But, but, but he gives such great speeches about hope and change, there's no way he could be a radical Marxist....

(Newsmax)- 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.”

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.”

In contrast, “My more pessimistic Marxist perspective indicated this was not a realistic possibility, that we really hadn’t seen a sort of complete revolution take place anywhere in Western Europe, and that this isn’t what had happened in more socialistic Germany or in France,” Drew says. “He was pretty persistent, that I didn’t know what I was talking about.”

Drew’s viewpoint that a revolution was unrealistic “made me very unpopular that evening. It was considered a reactionary and insensitive thing to argue,” says Drew.

He hasn't changed, he's just learned to be more deceptive and devious.
I also note that it at least appears that he had a mohammedan roommate, but just a surface observation, no stupid conclusions, but it should be noted IMO.

cjk,
I believe that Mohammedan roomate is the guy who took Obama to Pakistan when he was about 21 years old.

It is a significant thing to note.

RRA,
Yeah, I'm guessing it is stuff like this that is the reason we don't get to see his college records.

This is the likely reason the O's transcripts are said to be under lock and key. Just keep drinking the punch boys and girls...

IN 1980, B HUSSEIN OBAMA ATTTENDED OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE UNDER THE NAME OF HIS INDONESIAN PASSPORT- BARRY SOETERO, WHICH INCLUDED RELIGION, ISLAM. SOETERO IS THE NAME OF HIS STEP FATHER. WHEN HE APPLIED TO OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE, HE APPLIED AS BARRY SOETOERO FOR FINANCIAL AID AS A FOREIGN STUDENT.

IN MARCH 2008 THE RETIRED REGISTRAR OF OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE GAVE A DEPOSITION TO LAWYERS FOR THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE THAT B HUSSEIN OBAMA APPLIED AS AN INDONESIAN NATIONAL FOR ADMISSION TO OCCIDENTAL AND FOREIGN TUITION AID. THE DEPOSITION WAS SEALED BY THE GOONS IN OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN AS PART OF THE SEALING OF HIS COLLEGE RECORDS.
B HUSSEIN OBAMA CHANGED HIS NAME FROM BARRY TO BARACK OBAMA FROM BARRY SOETERO IN THE 1990S WHEN HE BECAME INVOLVED IN THE CHICAGO MACHINE.
B HUSSEIN OBAMA IS AN INDONESIAN NATIONAL, RELIGIONS ISLAM.

He left out the fact that a lot of Americans don't want Marxist/Leninist socialism/communism and that there is a 2nd amendment.
