I was at Columbia in 1983. Class of 86. (BA Political Science) But I was at the school of General studies. Some of the guys I know from the time claim to have been acquainted with Obama. I have seen name a nuclear disarmament paper in the Columbia Spectator and I’ve seen a telephone record of him from 1982 (or thereabouts) at east 96 st. where he claimed to have lived.
I can easily believe that Obama was a Columbia Student in the School of General Studies.
fyi General Studies students were definitely second class citizens on campus. They were mostly invisible to the college kids.
I thought the columbia biz was that much of a biggie. bigger still was that Obama was a dual citizen until age 21. in fact There are records too of Obama being a dual citizen until the age of 23.

this should have prevented him from running for president since he is not a “natural born” citizen.
but most of the elite media is not very american anymore.
Hey, classmate! GS ‘86 here also. Did you live on campus?
I dormed in ‘82 and ‘83’ so I was on campus a lot. Don’t remember 0, but it was a long time ago, so that doesn’t mean all that much, especially if he was living off-campus with his Paki boyfriend.
IIRC, the anti-nuke piece was in some alternative rag, not the Spectator.
