It was Obama what won Iraq

Shocka! Obama Argued For a “Straightforward Marxist-Leninist Revolution” While in College…
But, but, but he gives such great speeches about hope and change, there’s no way he could be a radical Marxist….

Obama’s National Defence Review ignores Iran and Islam in favour of… climate change
Believe it or not: Islam isn’t mentioned once (not a single time) in a 128 page document outlining national security threats? Stunning, even by the Obama administration’s standards… Telegraph UK
(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.

EXACTLY!!! I just wrote to someone about what Biden said and I couldn’t watch anymore – I wanted to puke.
For 8 yrs we got nothing but crying, whining, wailing (sounds like Muslims!) from the liberal left wing about Bush. And this last year whenever Ovomit has made obvious mistakes and a market crashes that was due to what Democrats did (like Barney Frank), he blames Bush. Then when Bush’s strategy of a surge works – the pukes come in to claim the credit.
grrrr
At least the little rats found one thing they don’t want to claim they inherited from Bush. LOL
Why is it always ppl with $£ who like Marxism?
I have never met a worker who liked it; the seniors at work may well hustle them in thru the small print on union paperwork, but for most workers – hell – they want to get on, not have thier dreams and ambitions outlawed!
