My life has crossed paths with President Obama on multiple occasions. According to Obama, we were Columbia University classmates, both Pre Law and Political Science majors in the Class of ’83. I also ran against Obama in 2008 on the Libertarian Party Presidential ticket. What are the odds?
But something about “the Obama at Columbia story” has always bothered me. Earlier in the week right here at The Blaze I wrote about having just returned from New York, where I attended my 30th Columbia University reunion. I celebrated with my esteemed classmates. Everyone except Barack Obama. As usual- he wasn’t there. Not a trace. Not a video greeting. Not a letter. I could not find any classmates who knew him.
I called Obama “the Ghost of Columbia University.” I pointed out (as I’ve said in the media for many years now) that Obama may have been registered at Columbia, may have graduated from Columbia, but he was rarely (if ever) seen for the two years in-between. It’s a strange, mysterious and frightening story.
Is he the real-life “Manchurian Candidate?” What explains Obama having just enough skeletal proof that he was there (one photo, one roommate, one professor, one friend)…but never seen in a class, never on anyone’s radar screen, almost invisible. A total 2-year blackout. It’s like a story straight out of a novel about the CIA or KGB. He graduated Columbia, but it’s almost as if he never went there.
To make matters more mysterious, Obama’s college records are sealed. He’s had plenty of opportunities to authorize the release, to clear the air. He has never chosen to do so. But why? What has he got to hide? Funny enough Obama has never had a problem ripping open the sealed records of his political opponents. Every step of his career Obama has beaten his opponents by having sealed documents just happen to be publicly exposed by anonymous sources. But not Obama. His records are always unavailable (and never leaked). Obama always seems to have powerful forces on his side.
Did he attend Columbia as a foreign student? That was the educated guess I made in my appearance on “Hannity” on Fox News a year ago. The only photo of Obama from his Columbia days was in his off-campus apartment with a roommate described by USA Today as a Pakistani national, pot smoker, and cocaine abuser. If you’re a foreign student, you live in housing off-campus with other foreign students.
That would also explain how he transferred to Columbia. Transferring into an Ivy League school is all but impossible. I did a little digging and found out only 3 transfer students in all of America were accepted into Columbia in the past academic year. Three students out of 315 million Americans. Yet those who knew Obama at Occidental called him a pot smoker and partier who rarely attended class. You’re telling me that a poor student, with that record, at an average college, was accepted for transfer into prestigious Columbia University? Only if he was an exotic Indonesian foreign student transferring into a college that desperately wanted to claim an ethnically and globally diverse student body.
Still that might explain how Obama got into Columbia. But where was he for those two years? My gut instincts say something is wrong with “the Obama at Columbia story.” Very wrong. Rancid.
But until now, I was the only one publicly voicing my suspicions. That just changed in a big way. Meet Professor Henry Graff, perhaps the most legendary and honored professor ever at Columbia University. He was THE American History and Diplomatic History professor at Columbia for 46 years. And he is more emphatic than yours truly that there are no Obama footprints at Columbia.
I was put on Professor Graff’s trail by another Columbia classmate, skeptical about Obama’s story. He told me that Professor Graff had been the speaker for the Class of ’53 last weekend at Columbia. My friend was watching Graff answer questions from the crowd when he was asked about Obama at Columbia. Graff said, “I have my doubts he ever went here.”
I did some digging and located Graff’s home phone number. I called him yesterday. Now retired, he was delighted to hear from me. He agreed to go on the record about Obama. Unlike Obama, Professor Graff clearly remembered me. He was thrilled to hear from his former student. I was in several of Graff’s classes and he remembered me like it was yesterday. He sounded great- like he hasn’t lost any of his trademark sharpness in 30 years since we last met.
I was honored to learn that this legendary historian has been following my political career for many years. But he had no such cheery things to say about the President. Graff said, “I taught at Columbia for 46 years. I taught every significant American politician that ever studied at Columbia. I know them all. I’m proud of them all. Between American History and Diplomatic History, one way or another, they all had to come through my classes. Not Obama. I never had a student with that name in any of my classes. I never met him, never saw him, never heard of him.”
Even more importantly, Professor Graff knew the other history and political science professors. “None of the other Columbia professors knew him either” said Graff.
Graff concluded our interview by saying, “I’m very upset by the whole story. I am angry when I hear Obama called ‘the first President of the United States from Columbia University.’ I don’t consider him a Columbia student. I have no idea what he did on the Columbia campus. No one knows him.”
There is something wrong with Obama’s story- I know that. Many of my classmates at last weekend’s 30th reunion knew that. Now the most beloved Professor ever at Columbia joins us in publicly questioning the story. Obama is either the ghost of Columbia, or the perfect Manchurian candidate. But something smells rotten at Columbia.
A while back my tagline was “America: Taking Affirmative action to extremes.” Nobody caught it so I moved on.
IT TAKES A BOOGER
Disgusting post. Are you in middle school?
You just ruined my lunch.

Truly. In every sense of the word. And history will show that AA was the downfall of a great nation.
Root has it right.....Rancid.
Do you think *our* powers that be (the good guys) have decided America can withstand a ‘constitutional crisis’ without a lot of damage?
To us, I mean. Ineligibility is the big one. It forces Rollback upon Rollback upon Rollback... like using a 5 year old Restore Point in Windows.

I firmly believe that if Tim Russert had lived Obozo probably would not have won in 08 and definitely not in 12.
Good question. It has taken me half a lifetime puzzling over this. IMO these people are sociopaths, driven by a need to control others. They have no fear of God for their immoral and illegal actions and they're ignorant of the Biblical warning about gaining the whole world only to lose your soul. Their god is power, evermore power, and it has totally corrupted them.
I think it has to be US agents. Nobody else would have the power to destroy or hide his docs.
Poppa Bush probably recruited Bubba and oboma as well as Shrub
If Mister Obama were to falsely claim that he attended, his cover story would say something like being a studious "monk" (unbelievable as he's not even that in the WH).
Anyone who has attended college will have many friends and acquaintances who would recall them. It's not all ust classroom, either. There are discussion groups, committees, social situations, and of course, casual conversation. And, in the classroom, students tend to sit in the same seat for every lecture and to know who normally sits near them. If Mister Obama were in your class or discussion group or on your committee, you would remember that he was.
I tend to think that this story is potentially huge. Ma and Pa Kettle might not understand Benghazi, and might not even worry about the IRS when if don't pay taxes, but they do understand (what appears to be) lying about college attendance and degrees.
Huge?
Quite possibly so.

Here’s betting Wayne Allen Root and Professor Graff both have “accidents” before the year is out.
Maybe now ( finally) they are frightened enough for their own lives ( literally living and dying) and for the lives of their loved ones.
Or suicided with 3 or 4 shots to the back of the head.
Total agreement. They have believed the first lie that the Evil One told our First Parents in the Garden - that is that God is not to be believed, trusted or obeyed.
The temptation is that man can, unaided, ascend to a higher place if he frees himself from God.
Sounded good then - still does. Adam and Eve bought it and it’s bought to this day.
I make a comment about Obama being a shill and someone posts that the Republicans are bad? Why? What does that have to do with my comments? It’s like talking about football and someone joins the conversation talking about the Vietnam War. It doesn’t make sense.....unless they are a Democrat plant. So, I gave that person a subject that Democrats are familiar with. And now, you’ve screamed and hiked up your skirts and fanned yourself with a lace hanky while you mumble about getting the vapors. And, they removed my comments. Karl Rove was right....Free Republic is filled with whiners and old ladies.
No one should be surprised.
And...When the autopsy is done the assistant to the coroner will surprisingly and unexpectedly immediately poison himself with arsenic and the only witness to the “accident” will strangely “disappear”.

Here’s my strongly held POV, reposting from another thread:
If everyone who knows what the general “we” on FR know, does whatever they can do to spread not just the information but the courage and principles that are the real foundation our Constitutioanl Republic, the benefit is great. I also iniate converstaions here and there when out and about, and 9 times out of 10, people are happy to hear someone speaking up about “controversial” topics - I think a lot more people are conservative or open to these principles than a lot of us realize.
I’ve bought a few sets of Enemies Foreign and Domestic - gave one set to my County SHeriff. One set is loaned out right now. I write letters to the editor when they’ll accept them and generally don’t hold back. In fact, I’ve seen the next week’s newspaper (I live in a valley with 17,000 population and a weekly newspaper) with letters praising the last letter I wrote - getting the message out there however you does good work. I don’t do FB or twitter but people who do can spread the message (and the fighting spirit) that way.
WHat else can a tiny citizen do? I have no $ and contacting Congressmen - I tried, and have 2 Dem Senators.
I email articles out to people. People with many relatives can encourage and inform their extended families. Keep in mind that when one other person gets convinced and encouraged, they will do the same reaching out to many people they know.
I’ve been to 3 public meetings with our County Sheriff and I’m not afraid to ask questions - in fact I almost made a nuisance of myself at the last one. People are are getting very angry at the abuses of not just the fedgov but our rotten commie stateguv and even our county commisioners are a little gang of small times crooks. People just need to get riled up enough, informed, and we’re on our way out of this mess.
The Marxist plants do that **ALL THE TIME** on the thread about our socialist-entitlement K-12 schools.
