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.

Here is all the proof that is needed to show that Obama was in fact a foreign student while at Columbia. Furthermore, it proves that "Obama" is not his actual last name.
Maybe someone should look up to see if a Barry Soetoro ever submitted anything to the Journal?
A mystery as great as Obamugabe’s student status is the source of his alleged student card you posted. The link provides no answer. Is it for real?
There is one article on the internet that Barry wrote at Harvard. It’s not impressive. It reads like the work of a high school student.
That ID looks more authentic than his posted BC.
Thanx. It’s the same photo that’s in the piece.
Barry Soetoro ping.
Did he ever register with the selective service?
Thank goodness! Another sane voice. I assume that, like me, you've seen his Columbia and Harvard transcripts. I lost my copy, but please show the rubes what you've found so we can put this to bed at last.
Probably not any Selective Service record, but in his defense, the military didn’t take gays back then anyway.
It’s a Photoshop gag, genius.
It would be nice to see it. I have mine from 1951.
I think its been posted.
Can someone give this person a link to it?
You broadbrushed the entire thread with your moveon.org style "birther" smear. obie's shady past is a legitimate line of inquiry. I guess it takes a con man to defend one, eh?
I'll just wait here. Maybe remind you from time to time.
If you look at what I responded to, it was a Photoshop gag. The ID is a fake. That OK with you?
Unfortunately, there are people so wanting to believe, they turn off the skeptical part of their cranium.
Have fun with it, but this crap doesn't belong on a website dedicated to serious discussions of political conservatism.
Of course it's a fake. It's as blatantly phony as obie's BC, and that's the point. And you didn't get it, genius.
BTW, still waiting for that inside info you have on obie's transcripts showing them as legit.
