Great article from 2008 on Obummer’s lost years. Wayne Allen Root might be on to something big.

Interesting. The WSJ piece says “Others speculate about ties to the Black Students Organization, though students active then don’t seem to remember him.”
Contrast this to the NYT: “Mr. Obama was involved in the Black Students’ Association and in the divestment campaign to pressure the college to pull its money out of companies doing business in South Africa. To make a point, students camped out in makeshift shantytowns on campus.
In his book, Mr. Obama said that his role in the divestment push started as kind of a lark, “part of the radical pose my friends and I sought to maintain.” But then he became more engaged, contacting members of the African National Congress to have them speak at the college and writing letters to the faculty.
He was one of a few students who spoke at a campus divestment rally.”
How could student leaders of BSA not remember one of the few students to speak at the divestment rally? One of these accounts appears to be in error.
