okay, try Snopes.Is that non-partisan enough?

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/columbia.asp

Or you could just google it yourself.

There are people who get a huge charge out of fooling the gullible. The ones who want to be fooled are the easiest. We can’t let our intense dislike of a political figure stop us from being skeptical about things that we hear that we’d really like to be true.

Snopes isn’t non-partisan but feel free to bring them into the discussion.

Yes and there are some like Obama and Snopes who use bogus statements (like the Obama was sworn in on a koran when that was Ellison) to discredit all of the other details.

Spoke too soon.
The Snopes piece definitely has much more information.

Oh, I agree-I just wanted to put that out there because I have a liberal friend who always sites Factcheck.org like its the end all be all.

snopes.com is not an unbiased source. Google: snopes founders.
