A few questions/observations about that picture:
1. Obama's hair looks shorter in that picture than in any other pictures I've seen of him in college. Looks older, too. As though it is a post-college photo inserted into someone else's ID.
2. Did Columbia use this sort of ID in 1981? With a bar code?
3. Does/did Columbia note which students were "Foreign Students" on their university-issued IDs? I've never heard of any university doing so. Visiting students, yes, but not foreign students.
Please refer to post #32
It does appear to be fake .
