It is strange that Root would say 0dumbo was known as barry soetoro at Columbia and then write( from your link)

“I never met him. Never saw him. Never even heard of him”

Both are possible. Root may have never known him but has talked to other people who knew Obama as Soetoro while at Columbia. In fact that is more likely from the usage of "was known as" rather than "I knew him as".

“Root may have never known him but has talked to other people who knew Obama as Soetoro “

so if Root talked to other people who spoke of 0dumbo as barry soetoro i don’t think Root would have said he’d never heard of him do you?

this is not a big deal in the big picture vut it is a seeming contradiction and we all know how obamites love to cloud the issue
