Well, those are some strong points in the Snopes piece. I wonder if Root has ever addressed them.
I just skimmed the Snopes’ piece, I am not the best person to take it apart but will try in a bit.

Interesting that they spell Wayne Allen Root’s name as “Wayne Allyn Root” so they definitely aren’t particular about details.
Friend and roommate Sohale Siddiqi, whom the Associated Press located and interviewed in May 2008.
Just because he shared an apartment with a Pakistani dope dealer and homosexual (most likely) in NYC doesn't give any evidence he attended Columbia.
Roommate Phil Boerner, who provided his recollections of sharing a New York City apartment with classmate Barack Obama to the Columbia College Today alumni publication and the New York Times in early 2009.
Just because he apparently shared an apartment with someone who attended Columbia is not evidence that Zero attended Columbia, nor does anything written by a leftist in 2009 prove anything at all.
Michael L. Baron, who taught the year-long honors seminar in American Foreign Policy that Barack Obama took during his senior year at Columbia and recalled in an NBC interview Obama's "easily acing" the class and receiving an A for his senior paper on the topic of nuclear negotiations with the Soviet Union.
This is actually funny. Zero is so stupid and writes so badly that the idea of him "acing" a class and getting an "A" for a paper on complex international affairs is ROTFLPIMP's material! So let's see the paper so we can read it for ourselves and judge its merit. ANd none of the other professors remember him.
An article by Barack Obama published in the 10 March 1983 edition of Columbia's Sundial school magazine.
A scanned copy of the article surfaced and is around somewhere; the writing style and content is pathetic commie sloganeering and IIRC the magazine also published articles by non-students. I will have to check and see if I can find more about this. So at the very least it refutes the lie that he got an "A" on a paper about a complex topic.
A January 2005 Columbia College Today profile of Barack Obama as a Columbia alumnus.
He may have gotten a degree, but not attended much or at all. Like the Iranians mentioned in a comment above. Or the article may be lies, already he was being groomed for national politics. Contemporaneous material is what is needed for proof.
A Columbia College press release from November 2008 identifying him as "the first College alumnus to be elected President of the United States."
All I can say about a press release from 2009 is "ROTFLMAOPIMP!!!"
