I was at columbia’s school of general studies at the time. I graduated in 86. I transferred from American University. AU was about the same kind of college that Obama transferred from...Occidental I believe.
I think Obama also attended the school of general studies. There is certainly evidence that he was on campus as there is an article online by him about nuclear disarmament in the Columbia Spectator. I have also seen his name in telephone book when he lived on E96 st.
One of the guys I know from the time claims he knew guys who knew Obama when he lived on W 108 (or W 107) and that he attended a poetry reading we gave at the West End.
At some point after the fact administrators at Columbia University managed to transfer whatever credits he had into Columbia College credits and call his degree a Columbia College degree. A phone call to Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton from a rich, influential Muslim made the request that Sutton phone Harvard Law School and get Obama a spot in the lawschool class. On YouTube you can watch an interview with Sutton describing that call. Google Obama Percy Sutton Harvard. No one at the small Columbia College remembered him, but Percy Sutton did. The invisible radical Obama was being guided upward even then by some rich, influential people.
I've posted this probability here before; i.e., that barry in fact attended GS and not the "Ivy League" Columbia College. When I was at CC, we had a few transferees into their sophomore years, but it was very rare for CC to accept a transferee in his (it was not yet co-ed when I attended) Junior year; only the most brilliant students with impeccable credentials were even considered for acceptance as transfer students after spending two years at another institution.
