Transparency: A former classmate has added a tantalizing question to the mysteries surrounding Barack Obama's college years. Perhaps the GOP nominee, whose tax records are demanded, should call the president's bluff.
Not many students whose grades supposedly were good enough to get into Harvard Law School can say that 400 of their classmates taken randomly don't remember a single thing about him or his even being there. But Barack Obama, Columbia University class of '83, can. Student Obama spent two years at Columbia after transferring there from Occidental College in Los Angeles. And for all the impression he made on his classmates, he might as well have been in the witness protection program.
The Wall Street Journal reported in 2008 that Fox News called that random group of 400 Columbia classmates and never found one who had ever met Obama. Like most transfer students, Obama lived off-campus, a factoid defenders use to explain his apparent lack of human contact during his Columbia years. Obama himself does not speak much about his years at Columbia and Harvard Law, other than he attended both and was elected president of the Harvard Law Review.
Interestingly, Obama contributed not one signed word to the Harvard Law Review or any other legal publication. As Matthew Franck has pointed out in National Review Online, "A search of the HeinOnline database of law journals turns up exactly nothing credited to Obama in any law review anywhere at anytime." A curious factoid for an alleged scholar.

Tex, your first post on this thread was NOT about the picture, it was about ‘birthers’ and misinformation.
You’re trying to change the subject. Doesn’t work with printed words.
Do you have knowledge of obama’s college transcripts or not? If you can kindly tell us where we can get a looksey at them, we’ll do so and shut up.
Otherwise, maybe you should think twice about insulting those who would like to know some REAL background of the phony who is living in OUR White house.
It absolutely was. There have been numerous posts about this fake ID...and some people may not have been around when it was determined fake. Posting it serves no useful purpose, but it does contribute to the misinformation that is rampant in birtherism.
I have yet to comment on Obama's college years on this thread because it's a legitimate inquiry as is much of his shady past. But I don't confuse birtherism with vetting.
Perhaps you missed the words written under the Fake ID from the poster I was addressing...
"Here is all the proof that is needed to show that Obama was in fact a foreign student while at Columbia..."
This thread proves my point....birther misinformation needs to be called for the nonsense it is. You're confused on who "got it" and who didn't.
If he was born in the U.S., but said he wasn’t in order to get this, he’s a con artist. I think that this sort of thing is a felony.
It's sarcasm and it's funny when you see it and funnier watching the reactions of those who don't.
That’s PHOTO-SHOPPED, RIGHT?
That fake student badge has as much credibility as a PDF birth certificate.
You forgot the /S
LOL
February 06, 2012 nOOb error.
Doesn’t have our culture down yet
Not Kewel picking on old men nOOb.
Birthers who don't apply their skepticism uniformly will fall for it.
pfffftttt....not worth too many bytes.
I’m well familiar with that Fake ID. I’ve seen what is purported to be the original. The point I think the man is making is that Internet documents prove nothing.
If you were to take the time and view the original article, you would see that the authors have provided the real image of the “Obama” or actually Sotero Columbia student ID.
If it were a forgery, it would not have been part of a serious investigative report.
I'm doing what you suggested, but i'm not getting the same results you claim.
If it were a forgery, it would not have been part of a serious investigative report.
Says who? I have seen dozens of "serious" reports that were based on crap. I see no where in the article where anyone alleges that the image of a foreign student card is anything but a piece of crap floating around on the internet which someone photoshopped.
It is not helpful for people to spread false information as anything other than a joke.
Told ya’
You were right.
