I’ve never associated cocaine use with integrity.

Not everyone who knew Obama in those years is eager to talk.

Well, yeah. They probably like their kneecaps just the way they are.

They remember a good student with a sharp mind and unshakable integrity

BULL SH*T!

Tony Resko integrity. Chicago Machine integrity. Community organizer where scammer friends get rich and the poor get shafted integrity. Having your wife accept a $200,000 pay raise for a phony job after you become senator integrity...

This is a manufactured BS story to counter the claims that we really don’t know what Zero did during those years.

More MSM scrubbed-clean propaganda. I don’t need to read this.

"They remember a good student with a sharp mind and unshakable integrity, a young man who already had a passion for the underprivileged."

Can you imagine Politico publishing anything approaching this level of hagiography for a conservative?

"But we're the very model of modern objectivity."

Right

No wonder he doesn’t understand ordinary Americans - he has hardly spent any time with people like most of us.

And why, if he’s so concerned about the poor, isn’t he more generous with his new found riches? Oh, he wants the American taxpayer to shoulder the burden - because it’s “neighborly” to steal money from those you think have too much.

Yeah, you can read between the lines and figure out that the near-absence of detail about large portions of Obama’s life is getting more and more obvious.

Sounds like the AP and the Dems are trying to create an acceptable past for Obama. Pretty late in the game. Interesting that Obama’s “friends” are primarily foreigners. No wonder he considers himself a citizen of the world.

Exactly one bit of this article really rings true: At that age ... he took himself too seriously

Some things haven't changed.

Headline for MSM “Obama associated with Convicted Drug Dealer”

Oh no wait, that isn’t gonna happen is it? “Obama Attempted to Help at risk Youth Avoid Drug Trade”

Go volunteer. Please everyone...you can really help. I spoke with some older ladies who hate Obama who didn’t know how much help they could get from the Rep party to assist them in voting. You feel like a million bucks after you do a 2 hour shift.

He had at least seven different residences when he was in New York. I find that strange.

I know this is an old article, but it raises a lot of questions that were probably glossed over at the time. One question left unanswered is, how many times has Obama been to Pakistan?

Was his friend at Occidental connected with high powers in Pakistan? Or did he take a second trip as State Senator? If so, why is there no record of it?

I went to Indiana University in the 1980s and there were quite a few muslim students there, a few of whom I befriended. But by and large, they were a clique as you might imagine. What is the likelihood that this "multicultural" group of Obama's included any Jewish people, or for that matter, any Christians? In fact, by their names, they were all muslim.

The article talks about the alleged poverty of Obama while going to Columbia...is that supposed to be a joke? He was either bankrolled or on a scholarship. There's no mention of him working (I worked my way through college; there was not enough money available in student loans to pay full out of state tuition at IU; there cannot possibly have been enough for Columbia). So who paid his tuition and rent? If he was not bankrolled by someone, how did he make the rent payments?

It is utterly incredible that we have so little information about the "Lost Years" of Obama--a period of his life that for any other person would be considered among the most formative. What we do know is close ties to a number of Pakistanis (nothing wrong with that), all of whom are well-connected to the ruling class and all of whom apparently have done quite well for themselves--in strange contrast to the self-proclaimed poverty of Obama.

McCain may be reluctant to release what by all accounts would be a lackluster transcript from Annapolis, but at least we have numerous accounts, eyewitnesses, etc...and that was over 40 years ago and all the worlds knows what he became.

I can easily produce a list of my friends from college, my employers, etc. and I graduated in 1986. It's not ancient history. What the hell is going on with this country? What the hell is going on with the media? How can the biggest "vetting" debacle of all time have taken place in full view of the public for the last four years? God help us all.

Damn, how many colleges did Barry attend? Or how many does he remember?
