Wow....that got zero play in the media.

If it weren't for John Lott retelling it, none of us would know about it. Like 90% of Obama's hidden past.

The American people have never known so little about a president in our nation's history. The next president will have media crawling under their grandmother's couch cushions.

Holy hell, I hadn’t heard that one.

You can Google it. It really happened, according to John Lott.

The actual sundial in the middle of the Columbia University campus is where demonstrations took place, the most notorious of which from the point of view of 1983, would have been the demonstrations that the Students for a Democratic Society(SDS) fomented the taking over of the campus in the spring of 1968. Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn were part of the spinoff, called Weathermen. This publication, Sundial, was short-lived - not the Columbia College newspaper, The Spectator.

Since his buddy Bill Ayers (having come out of hiding from federal law enforcement following his violent terrorism planning and acts) was living in NYC at that time in the same neighborhood as Obama at the time and was also involved with the radical left, there’s an excellent chance that Ayers or someone of the same ilk, penned this article. Obama later barely admits knowing Aires, even in Chicago, though his political career was officially launched with Bill Ayers in the planning of the trajectory. Obama himself demonstrates again and again that he can’t write and is in need of remedial vocabulary tutoring. One did not have to attend Columbia College to write for Marxist and Communist publications, supported from outside the campus.
