“I have videos, this election we’re going to vet him,” new media mogul Andrew Breitbart proclaimed at this year’s CPAC event.
Breitbart was, of course, referring to clips that allegedly show President Barack Obama during his college days — videos that the media leader claimed would show “why racial division and class warfare are central to what hope and change was sold in 2008.”
These tapes, which have inspired conspiracy theories surrounding what led to Breitbart’s death on Thursday of natural causes at the age of 43, are now purportedly going to be released (Glenn Beck has strongly cautioned viewers against jumping to conclusions connecting the tapes to Breitbart’s death).
On Thursday evening, Steve Bannon, a writer and documentary filmmaker (“The Undefeated”), told FOX News‘ Sean Hannity that Breitbart’s company will release the mysterious Obama Harvard tapes within seven to 10 days.
Need to get them out beyond Hannity’s show. No one watches Hannity, do they?
Some of this stuff must already be out there somewhere...

I hadn’t seen this before - although its produced, (not rough footage), it gives testimony that there is video from that era floating around.
I think the degree of suspicion surrounding ABs passing will hinge on how controversial the videos content is.
I am aware of all of that, but the fact that there is a week delay, and they would have come out, gives O’s people a chance to try to do something. I would say, “Relase in a week”, then release them Monday night as a surprise.
I bet these videos are mostly interviews with people who knew Obama in college and their recollections or video of documents (transcripts, application forms, etc.)
Obama started college in 1979 at Occidental College and graduated from Columbia University in 1983. Portable type consumer camcorders were not available until 1983 and were very expensive.
“Glenn Beck is qualified to tell people what to think?”
That’s NOT what the article said. He “cautioned viewers” not to jump to conclusions, which I think is very good advice for everyone.
You really don’t think there is a Soros/Obama connection?
You are right, “silence in golden”.
I listened to and respected Glenn Beck for his Soros/Obama exposes.
However, it was condescending to admonish people to ‘not jump to conclusions’. Better to caution everyone to ‘trust, but verify’.
Beck has not been in the vanguard of BO’s questionable eligibility - does he believe we should also be ‘cautious’ about the evidence of Barack’s British father and the forged BC????
I pretty much agree with you.
We’re way past voting on the merits of Baraq the candidate - yeah that might have had some effect in 2008.
The 2012 election is about philosophy - givers vs. takers.

A lot of “good” colleges had plenty of access to multimedia equipment in the late 70’s early 80’s because they would produce crap for the local PBS stations.
They would have been Betamax Tape or some other medium.
“which have inspired conspiracy theories surrounding what led to Breitbart’s death on Thursday of natural causes at the age of 43”
I’ve heard this the morning after he died and a few times since. How can one know it was of natural causes, if the autopsy hasn’t even been conducted yet? Just Sayin....
There were several nice consumer 8mm movie cameras with sound back in the ‘70’s
You’re right about Hammity, he’s just a parrot.
Seems they’re referred to as “Obama Harvard Tapes” - so we’re up to 88 and well into the VHS timeframe.
They know better on the timing than we outsiders do.
And Hannity like a clown has that stupid football he throws around.
What a classless act.
Me too only I'm not sure when that would be.
I’m having trouble figuring what Obama would’ve been doing in those days that anybody would’ve bothered to tape. Video equipment was huge and clunky back then and wasn’t just everywhere like it is now. I doubt if he was giving many big speeches, though maybe he spoke at some demonstrations? Lectures maybe? I doubt it would have been just casual home-movie type stuff.
He informed us that his posse of volunteer investigators had proved that a crime had been committed, but with typical LEO caution, he was not prepared to indict anyone at this time.
No politics; no sensationalism - just the facts, ma'am.
Let's see where he goes from here.
Well said.
RIP, Andrew.
Oh I can’t wait to see where it goes.
