RADIO TIDBITS

I caught a little bit of a re-broadcast of a Neal Boortz radio show this morning and he brought up a post on American Thinker by John Drew.  Drew claims to have met Obama in December 1980 and claims that then, Obama was a committed Marxist.  I'm a little suspicious of Drew's claims because despite claiming to have been a serious student of Marxism, he didn't know much about Frantz Fanon and colonialism:
I know this may be implausible to some readers, but I distinctly remember Obama surprising me by bringing up Frantz Fanon and colonialism. He impressed me with his knowledge of these two topics, topics which were not among my strong points -- or of overwhelming concern to me.

I also caught a bit of Jay "Israel First" Sekulow's radio show and he and his guest Sen. Orrin Hatch agreed that Pres. Obama had harmed Israel by even mentioning the 1967 borders.

    To be fair, I did not know much about Fanon, but I did complete my undergraduate thesis on the topic of Marxist economics. Frankly, I don't think there is anyone on America more likely to provide an accurate view of young Obama's ideological agenda at that time than me. I went on to become a political science professor.
