Proof Obama went by Barry Soetoro at Occidental College
Various | Various

Posted on 01/28/2009 4:40:21 AM PST by Calpernia

There is a biography of Barry Soetoro 's Occidental College days. It states that when Barry Soetoro was 18-19 he attended school as BARRY SOETORO. And it wasn't until he met a girl by the name of REGINA that was the first to start calling him Barack. See:

http://abagond.wordpress.com/2008/04/11/obama-at-occidental-college/

The importance of this is that it clearly shows that Barry was using his Indonesian name, and of course, his Indonesian passport.

The International Herald Tribute (The Global issue of the New York Times)

also states:

http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/02/08/america/obama.php

"Nearly three decades ago, Barack Obama stood out on the small campus of Occidental College in Los Angeles for his eloquence, intellect and activism against apartheid in South Africa. But Obama, then known as Barry, also joined in the party scene."

The LA Times also claims below that Barry was the choice of names that Barry Soetoro used when he first arrived from Hawaii to Occidental:

http://articles.latimes.com/2007/jan/29/local/me-oxy29

"Memories of 1980 at Occidental College’s Haines Hall have the standard fragments of the era: stereos blasting the B-52’s through the dorm, pot-fueled bull sessions about the revival of draft registration, late-night cramming for economics exams.

"That otherwise private nostalgia took on public significance this month when a former Haines Hall resident from Hawaii known at the time as Barry announced that he was forming an exploratory committee to run for president of the United States."

Even Occidental College states that Newsweek reported that Barry entered their college as BARRY SOETORO under his Indonesian passport and NOT as Barack Obama.

It was at Occidental where he stopped being called “Barry” and became Barack Obama, Newsweek pointed out in its account of Obama’s formative years that featured his black-and-white freshman photo on the cover. “It was when I made a conscious decision: I want to grow up,” he told the magazine.

One of Barry Soetoro's college buddies says this of our Indonesian student:

http://www.verdugomonthly.com/article.php?id=382&IssueNum=32

"Tom Moyes remembers the first time he heard the name Barack Obama. It was in the fall of 2004, after the electrifying speech Obama delivered at the 2004 Democratic Convention. That was the oration, of course, which introduced the young would-be Illinois Senator to America and inspired an instant following not only in the U.S. but around the world. Moyes had missed the speech because he was on an extended vacation in New Zealand at the time. “So I pick up this newspaper,” says Moyes, who grew up in San Gabriel and graduated from Occidental College in Eagle Rock, “and it has this huge article about this guy Barack Obama. And it says he had gone to Occidental at the same time I was there. And I said to myself, ‘There’s no way.’ I’d never heard the name Barack; I’m thinking it must be a mistake. “So I call a friend I went to Oxy with, Ken Sulzer, and I say, ‘Ken, I’m down here in New Zealand and there’s this article about some guy named Barack that went to college with us. Who is that?!’” “I said, ‘That’s Barry, man,’” says Sulzer, using the nickname Obama went by during his youth, “the guy with the big afro who lived across the hall from me in the dorm.’

It is clear that the students at Occidental did not know Barry Soetoro by the name of OBAMA. Instead he was using his Indonesian name and passport. This story cleverly hides the fact that the confusion came not from the first name Barry or Barack, but because of the LAST NAME Soetoro vs. Obama.

Okay so why did Barry suddenly change his name from Barry Soetoro to Barack Obama a year after he entered school? (I don't believe that REGINA story above.) It was simple. His mother and adopted dad got divorced in August of 1980. So naturally, when he entered Occidental in 1979 he used his Indonesian name...then immediately after his mom's divorce he desired to revert back to his birth name of Barack Obama.

I read all your links and I didn't see a single one where he was referred to as Barry Soetoro, either by himself or anyone else. The Abagond article does notnot claim he registered as Barry Soetoro. The Verdugmontly link does not claim he registered as a foreign student.

I swear you must be making this sh*t up as you go along.

Maybe I am not reading everything, but all I can gather from these links is that Barack Obama went by “Barry”. Not “Barry Soetoro” as you state in the headline. Could it not be that he went by “Barry Obama”? Not much of a stretch and hardly an indication that he went by his mother’s married name.

I am not saying I believe Obama is constitutionally eligible to serve as President, but we need to make sure that we are not posting easily refuted “evidence” from a ambiguous wordpress blog with no references or sources.

Stay focused. The proof will come.

Since Obama is now a historical figure, these questions will never go away.

I am open to learning of any proof that Obama is not eligible for the presidency.

I read all of the linked articles, all interesting, but the words “Soetoro” and “passport” do not not appear in them.

Thus proving that Barry lied on his admissions form(s) by indicating "No," where it asks the applicant to write any previous names.

SOP for the pathological liar known now as BHO.

You also can’t run for office under an alias.

Ditto to some of the other comments, I’m only seeing the nickname ‘Barry’ in these, nothing about using a foreign passport or different last name. Where did you get that from? Just using the nickname Barry is not damning..

Good point. It would also be a nightmare for all those retailers of Barack Obama Inauguration Commemorative crap if they had to change it to Barry Soetoro Inauguration Commemorative crap!

I didn’t see anything in your links that claimed he used the name Soetero during college.

Unfortunately all this is worthless.........

Because there is no way, no how....he's leaving office.

The shame of it all....is there's probably plenty of Pol's that know...he's not legit. But it doesn't matter....to them. He's POTUS now...and that's it. Period.

It's going to be a long 4 years.....The question will be...."Will the Pubbies put up a fight"?

fwiw-

Who owns Obama’s image? I thought I remembered hearing that one could profit from something like this while in office. That is why book deals are usually offered after office terms. So if I heared that right, who is profiting from ‘Obama, the placemate’ and such?

Is there any confirmation that he applied for student aid as a foreign student? I've heard the claim. This info about Occidental college lends some credibility to the possibility.

Any thread...every thread, for that matter that discusses Zer0's corruption or ineligibility is immediately hit with what I call the BOHICA Boys...

Photobucket

Zer0 really is winning - and in our own back yard!
