BBCW: Obama a Marxist in College?: John C. Drew Sheds Light on Obama College Years

Of course he was and still is. He is actually a Kenyan Communist like his father.

Quote:

To socialize our banking system, the changes would have to be permanent and complete. Obama's plan doesn't call for long-term nationalization, claims Billy Wharton, editor of The Socialist magazine. Instead, Wharton says the Treasury Secretary and his team "favor costly, temporary measures that can easily be dismantled should the economy stabilize." The solution for the current administration is temporary, not long-term like many Republicans are shouting. Even the socialists reject Obama as being one of them...

K-State Collegian - Obama isn't socialist, say socialists

The funny thing is, of course, that socialists know that Barack Obama is not one of us. Not only is he not a socialist, he may in fact not even be a liberal. Socialists understand him more as a hedge-fund Democrat -- one of a generation of neoliberal politicians firmly committed to free-market policies...

Obama's No Socialist. I Should Know. - washingtonpost.com

Obama isn't a "socialist". He's a liberal democrat doing some of the samethings that Hillary and John Edwards would be doing had they gotten elected.

And he's a gay muslim too who wants to legalize all drugs and open our borders to all latinos with no questions asked...

I went through an Anarchy phase in college.

One of my good friends went through a fundamentalist Christian phase.

I have a friend who is in Grad School right now and she's going through a 'protest everything' phase.

College is a time for kids to get away from their parents, meet their peers and do different things. I'm sure nearly everyone here who went to college can look back and name at least one thing they did that they shake their head at now.

Where were you in 2008 when this guy was first trying to make a buck off his big revelation?

The only people who say he isnt a commie are the commies that dont want the rest of the voting public to know what they are doing.

Then explain his membership in a Chicago socialist organization in 1996?
