Makes sense, but as a “foreign student” from Indonesia, woudln’t it have been more consistent to go by Barry Soetoro than Barack Obama?
A fraud and a liar and a bi-sexual Muslim.
he could have been born in George Washington’s bed, but he is not American
I did not go to Columbia, but I have suspected Mr. Root is correct since his initial campaign.
It won’t make any difference now, but I suspect we will learn more after Obama is out of office. It only takes one person out of many to tell the truth.
FWIW - the statute of limitations is long since expired on any fraud and I don’t think there is an official application for the President to obtain his security clearance.
I have thought this to be the most likely scenario for some time. But this, along with all of the other theories out there in birther land are missing a critical ingredient: evidence.
Obama has gone to great lengths to destroy or put out of reach all of the evidence of the critical years and events. The only stuff left are little scraps that support his invented past.
If this is true, the birthers will have achieved a remarkable historic first. Their tireless efforts and never ending pet theories were indispensable to the success of the Obama fraud and they helped assure his election twice. Quite remarkable given that they all despise the man and what he has done to this country.
Root has balls. I’m surprised the IRS just audited him. He could have easily been dispatched like Ron Brown did.
It wasn’t as hard to get into an Ivy league school thirty-odd years ago as it is now. Being a football player or being black were huge bonuses, then as now.
My sister-in-law transferred into Columbia about twenty-five years ago and got her degree. Smart girl but previously a slacker - no special connections, achievements or race. It just wasn’t that hard back then.
It makes Larry’s Gurnee story more credible, now doesn’t it?
Great post...!
Sort of explains his stupid Allah Akbar RING.
I’m having a hard time figuring out who is the bigger fraud here... Obama or hack who wrote this and keeps trying to pass himself off as a libertarian. He’s kind of like that asshat mike shedlock...his libertarianism begins and ends at his wallet. He’s just a gop wannabe who couldn’t make a name for himself in the one party game and decided to try to be a big fish in a smaller pond. I have yet to come by another libertarian who doesn’t snicker when they hear his name. It’s like saying “Vanilla Ice” to a group of Gen Xers. He’s a joke that doesn’t need a punch line
0 is a fraud no matter what....
He lied, hid, obfuscated, etc to get into college and to get into the presidency.
Fake docs, fake everything from beginning to now.
Instead of Mr. Root's tortured logic to support Obama's supposed U.S. citizenship, the much simpler explanation is that Obama was and is an Indonesian citizen. This explanation supports all the facts better than Mr. Root's theory.
Remember, Obama has never provided one shred of proof that he is a U.S. citizen. He is responsible to prove this, not the other war around. And the only things he provided so far are blatant forgeries.
No, Mr. Root. Obama's fraud is not that of purporting to be a foreigner. It is much more massive than that. His life is a fraud. It started with his false claim of U.S. citizenship. But his fraud wouldn't have endured without massive help.
I stand by my story
Seems the likeliest scenario to me.
But I don’t think his foreign born scam could have been enough; there had to be somebody behind his application. Some promise was made to get him in, made by somebody big with deep pockets.
Such a transaction may have left a trail.
does not explain why he spent so much time, effort, and money to cover up his (Hawaiian) birth certificate, or why he would, when pressured, issue a fake one (which he is too smart NOT to have realized was itself a very risky thing to do)
Not saying Root isn't telling the truth...but in 5 years now, what he is saying has gained no traction.
How stupid does Root think we are? The autobiography was written BEFORE Root came out of the woodwork.
I'm guessing Bill Ayers's father and other members of the Communist Party got him accepted.
How many average students does Columbia accept because they were born in a foreign country? Anyone know? I'm guessing none.,
