I heard something on the radio a few days ago about some of Obama’s records from Occidental College being released under freedom of information act that indicated that he had applied for and received student aid (financial aid) as a foreign student.

That was an April Fools prank. There's been no such release.

This type of aid was only abailable to foreigh born students......

Because it was so hard for a black college student to get student aid in the 1980s. Seriously, if you had your choice to apply for a scholarship or student aid in 1979, do you really think you'd be better off as a foreign student than as a black American student?

One more thing. Occidental College is a private school, and it’s records wouldn’t be subject to an FOIA request.
