Obama Never Attended Columbia University Says “His” Graduating Class
I OWN THE WORLD ^ | 06-07-2013 | Wayne Allyn Root

Posted on 06/07/2013 12:21:57 PM PDT by Kevin in California

I just returned from New York, where I attended my 30th Columbia University reunion. I celebrated with my esteemed classmates. Everyone except Barack Obama. As usual- he wasn’t there. Not even a video greeting. Not a personalized letter to his classmates. Nothing. But worse, no one at our 30th reunion ever met him. The President of the United States is the ghost of Columbia University.

Just putting information out there.

I’d like to see a genuine copy of the graduating class year book or program.

The PBS documentary series “Frontline” did a series of interviews with Barack Obama’s Harvard Law School colleagues. Of particular interest is the fourth interview in the series by Bradford Berenson, one of the few conservative law students at Harvard at that time.
Berensen went on to be Deputy White House Counsel in the George W. Bush administration:

Here’s an excerpt from the Bradford Berenson interview: “You don’t become president of the Harvard Law Review, no matter how political, or how liberal the place is, by virtue of affirmative action, or by virtue of not being at the very top of your class in terms of legal ability. Barack was at the very top of his class in terms of legal ability. He had a first-class legal mind and, in my view, was selected to be President of the Harvard Law Review entirely on his merits.”

It is possible (with a large enough team of paper pushers, detectives, lawyers, identity so called experts) to fabricate a person from the ground up. It wasn’t uncommon to happen in the military. M.A.S.H did a small spoof on it when Hawkeye had a personnel clerk promote Radar to 2Lt for a week as a joke. We’ve known for almost 5 years now Zippy is 99% a fabrication with Nancy Pelosi’s original blessing.

....excerpt from the Bradford Berenson interview

And I will personally find you 5 lawyers who were at Harvard with him who will privately say that he was a "....lazy, blithering idiot who pulled the race card on every question."

Berenson could just be practicing a very wise legal and politically correct stratagem, viz:

de negris nil nisi bonum.

I agree. Obama was in the low rent”General Studies” program.

How much was the Saudi endowment that year?

Why didn’t these people tell their stories 10 years ago so we might have stopped this monster from becoming the leader of the formerly-free world.

I have found from my own college experiences that only about 50% of seniors pose for photo’s for college yearbooks. Sales are low relative to high school year books as well.

It’s sad the ‘oh so superior’ boys of the New York Times were unable to locate Columbia University when Obama was running for office the first time - or even four years later when he ran the second time.

......Columbia

Columbia University is huge. Within it there are Colleges and Schools. Students at one school or college are not apt to know students from others.

The point is that The Columbia School of General Studies is quite distinct from Columbia College and the students do not usually mix. Just as students at Columbia's Medical School rarely meet or even see students from the Law School. What's throwing everyone off the track here is that when one jumps through enough hoops at the Columbia School of General Studies, one may be granted a degree ... a diploma upon which is printed "Columbia College" ... when in fact, one has never been a student at Columbia College. Further clouding the issue is another confusing fact. That's because it is also possible that a student from The School of General Studies might take a class in which students from the College are also enrolled.

What would be infinitely more interesting is to learn exactly WTF Obama did at Columbia. Where was he when he wasn't at Columbia? What courses did he take? What grades did he get? How exactly did he somehow qualify for their degree after spending such a short time there?

Yes, the Obama months at Columbia are mysterious, but he was enrolled and did receive ... somehow .... that degree.

Please check this out with FReepers that you have met, face to face, who went to Columbia.

And the image of the list is from 1983? shouldn’t it say barry?

Good link. I'm thinking that senior faculty often just give lectures and let teaching assistants interact with students and grade their papers, though, so it's not unlikely that such professors wouldn't know every undergraduate majoring in their field. Something tells me as well, that Obama's interests may have been more in third world issues than standard US diplomatic history.

I'm wondering if this can't be resolved if Obama was enrolled in Columbia College but took most of his classes at night in the School of General Studies. I don't know if that's possible, but he does look to have been something of a night owl, and it might account for the mystery.

Again, I don't know how this works, but he might have taken some of his classes at Barnard or Teachers' College or the Bank Street School or the School of International Affairs or at some other New York institution. And of course, he would have gotten his distribution requirements out of the way back at Occidental.
