Barack Obama laughs off charges of socialism. Joe Biden scoffs at references to Marxism. Both men shrug off accusations
of liberalism.
But Obama himself acknowledges that he was drawn to socialists and even Marxists as a college student.
He continued to associate with Marxists later in life, even choosing to launch his political career in the living room of
a self-described Marxist, William Ayers, in 1995, when Obama was 34.
Obama's affinity for Marxists began when he attended
Occidental College in Los Angeles.
"To
avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully," the
Democratic presidential candidate wrote in his memoir, "Dreams From My
Father." "The more politically active black students. The foreign
students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural
feminists."
