Obama Espoused Radical Views in College
(advocated communist revolution!)

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.”
How long did it take for the left to blame tea partiers for Austin plane attack?
Pelosi already accused him of being a teabagger terrorist.
Pelosie is not going to hide her crimes behind these things very long. This bodes very ill.
It’s all communist protection agencies at the hands of government from here on out, all influenced by criminalist lawyers like Pelosie.
And yet TIME magazine is trying to make him sound like a Tea Party activist!
This guy is straight out of the Hopey Changey Delusionaries.
He was rambling. I didn’t read it as bashing capitalism — just bashing the pseudo-capitalism that our increasingly socialist-Marxist government is imposing on us.
Why, of all things, did he choose the following to conclude his "manifesto"? The first one is a quote from Karl Marx. The second is a slap in the face to Capitalism. When are we going to stop making excuses for the blatantly obvious?

Businessmen have existed for thousands of years, and old civilizations have dealt with them and quantified their characteristics before Karl Marx and Adam Smith wrote about them and the GOP/Dem established philosophies in dealing with them.
My favorite is from the Far East, ancient Chinese/Korean kings would advise their crown princes the following - “Merchant class is important to a kingdom because they produce significant wealth for the realm. However merchants are capable of being wicked and greedy. They can corrupt officials and cheat the people. A wise ruler always keep an eye on them. If they are caught, a ruler must find a way to punish the guilty ones without destroying the rest of the merchants’ abilities to make money.”
In other words, Dems tend to punish all businessmen for the misbehavior of the few, while the GOP tend to trust and protect all businessmen including the wicked ones. Neither approach is good for this country.
Yep. He went on & on about crony capitalism, i.e. capitalism corrupted by big government control & collusion, which is what we have now. In addition, he was pretty much anti-everything. Very negative. Only positive thing in there was the unmodified Communist creed. Hard to categorize, but a 60s-reject, counter-culture, commie sympathizer with anarchist tendencies IMHO.
He was also very anti-religion.
Isn't that from some Michael Douglas movie? This guy was warped by Hollywood I think.
He was a disenchanted liberal who didn't hang on long enough to become a conservative. His mostly valid anger at the outrages of the system got tangled up with his expectations of the system serving people in a liberal fashion, rather than a limited government fashion. And hell hath no fury as a liberal scorned.
Someone should dig up his voting record and political registration over the years - I'd bet he was a lifelong registered democrat. And that fact, once established, should be shoved in Pelosi's ugly face very publically.
Voter registration records are public information, so that should not be hard to do.
Intensely negotiated actors in Hellywood should talk!
Anyhow, it can’t be to anybody “according to his greed” unless he has something to sell that somebody else will buy, and both in sufficient quantity.
Sounds Like Obama should have been this Guy Stacks Co-Pilot
He was a liberal who, apparently, didn't realize he was one of the dreaded, evil rich.
Probably by this afternoon you can find them in the same file as a particular birth certificate many of us have been trying to find...
Joe Stack apparently suffered from a catastrophe of faith.
His faith in government collapsed. This paints him as a progressive.
A hard core statist who in the end discovered the fraud in statism.
He was certainly a loony leftist.
Given the fact that he was so articulate in his writing, and apparently well educated, and CONCLUDES his "manifesto" by quoting Karl Marx while slapping Capitalism, I'd say he had a pretty well established political philosophy.
I interpreted the couplet at the end as pointing out the similarity between the Marxist system and the corrupt pseudo-capitalist system that has been imposed on our country. Not praising Marxism (because certainly nothing else in the letter did that), but pointing out that corrupt pseudo-capitalism doesn’t offer any more freedom than Marxism.
