I was talking with a friend who interviewed Obama for two hours in 1996 after Dreams was published. He was not impressed with Obama’s intellect. Obama was arrogant but not smart in his opinion.
From what we have seen now during various interviews your friend was right.
In twenty years...someone will dig around and eventually come to the opinion that when Barry came to Occidental....he was a foreign student. When he went to Columbia....he was a foreign student. At some point in the middle of Columbia...he finally realized that out in the business world of New York City and the rest of America...they were not going to hire some foreign graduate. So the social security number was procured, and the new ID was established.
When he decided to run for Senator...I’m guessing that a dozen people went to work to wash any markings of a trail. Who paid for that? It might be curious but we will never know.
As for class-work? The real story will eventually be a d-average student who cleaned up his records at Occidental, and repeated the whole experience at Columbia. There’s likely no vast knowledge of anything much. Most potheads that you come across in life...aren’t that bright anyway.
There is nothing about Obama that suggests intelligence. He is simply a Trojan horse. They knew the country would fall in love with the idea of having a "black" president*, so they found this guy who is a decent speaker, and they orgasmed all over themselves while they presented him as a genius. His supposed intelligence is an artifice which they created.

*I suggested the same D@mn idea back in the early 2000s. I knew that a Black Republican would win a substantial chunk of the black vote, as well as a lot of other traditionally Democrat constituencies. I was supporting Herman Cain in this last election, and it is a D@mn shame that he bowed out because of Media bullsh*t. He would have kicked Obama's @$$.
“arrogant but not smart”
That summarizes this whole thing neatly. Not long from now, it could be the title of a book about the years of his oval office occupancy.
