Interview with Dr. John C. Drew, former Marxist friend of Obama

Knew Barack Obama in early 1980s, from Occidental University.

"He was a pure Marxist"

From CNBC, Obama speaking to the Business Roundtable yesterday:

"Contrary to the claims of some of my critics, I am an ardent believer in the free market,"

"We have arrived at a juncture in our politics where reasonable efforts to update our regulations, or make basic investments in our future, are too often greeted with cries of 'government takeover' or even 'socialism'," Obama said.

"Getting this balance right has less to do with big government or small government than it does smart government. It's not about being anti-business or pro-government; it's about being pro-growth and pro-jobs," he said.
