Hiding in plain sight all during the 2008 election was Dr. John C. Drew. He wasn't truly hiding but rather was ignored by all of the popular media. Dr. Drew was a student at Cornell and visited Occidental College where he met Barack, "just call me Barry," Obama. Like Obama he was a Marxist. He outgrew his adolescent naivete but Obama instead became president. He described his first meeting with Obama in an American Thinker post:
The taller of the two was Obama, then only 19, who towered over his five-foot-five companion, Mohammed Hasan Chandoo - a wealthy, 21 year old Pakistani student. Chandoo had a full dark black, neatly trimmed moustache, and was dressed in expensive clothes. Nevertheless, Obama was the more handsome of the two. At six foot two, Obama carried himself with the dignity and poise of a model. The diminutive Chandoo, in contrast, came across as more of a practical, businessman type. Obama displayed a visible deference to Chandoo when they were standing together at the vehicle.Chandoo was vaguely familiar to me as a participant in the earlier anti-apartheid rallies on the Occidental College campus. In David Remnick's book, The Bridge, Chandoo's bona fides as a committed Marxist were well-known to those close to him. Chandoo's girlfriend at the time, Margot Mifflin, told Remnick that "In college, Hasan was a socialist, a Marxist, which is funny since he is from a wealthy family. Young Obama, on the other hand, was completely new to me.
"This is Barack Obama," Boss said.Since I was not much taller than Chandoo, I remember I looked up at Obama as we shook hands. I was completely mystified by the pronunciation of his name. He did not put up a fight over it, however.
"You can call me Barry," Obama said.During the introduction, Boss and Chandoo were eager to let me know that Obama was a graduate of the prestigious Punahou Academy, an elite prep school in Honolulu. I vividly remember that Chandoo was intensely proud of Obama's ties to Punahou. This prestige, however, was wasted on me. I had never heard of the school and did not have a clue about what it meant to be one of its graduates. Obama seemed embarrassed by the fuss. Boss, I remember, wanted to make sure I understood that young Obama was not merely an attractive socialite dabbling in Marxist theory. "You've worked with us," she observed. "You've been at our DSA meetings. You've been active in the anti-apartheid movement."
In another long video Dr Drew relates that they walked so closely that he thought they were a gay couple.In the video linked above Drew maintains that Obama's mother's name, Stanley should be a tip off to the nuts in the Obama family tree. He describes young Obama as a red diaper baby, that is one raised from childhood to be a Marxist. Certainly we will see more of Drew during the upcoming campaign. With a phd in political science, Drew has the gravitas to discuss Obama with dispassionate objectivity and can more than hold his own with the media. The video below is long but well worth the time spent listening.
