In a recent interview, a well-known professor who taught at Columbia University for 46 years questioned whether or not President Obama actually attended the Ivy League school.
Prominent Columbia professor Henry Graff says he isn't sure President Obama ever attended the Ivy League school.
“I taught every significant politician that ever studied at Columbia,” said Columbia Emeritus Professor of History Henry Graff, in an interview last week with Wayne Root, a contributor at The Blaze. “Between American History and Diplomatic History, one way or another, they all had to come through my classes.”
“Not Obama,” he continued. “I never had a student with that name in any of my classes. I never met him, never saw him, never heard of him.”
Graff alleged that “none of the other Columbia professors knew him either” and said he is “very upset” to hear Obama referred to as a graduate of Columbia University.
“I am angry when I hear Obama called ‘the first President of the United States from Columbia University,’” he said. “I don’t consider him a Columbia student. I have no idea what he did on the Columbia campus. No one knows him.”
Graff is the recipient of the Kaul Foundation Award of Excellence in the field of education, an honor that is tied to a prize of $100,000. He is the author of multiple books and is known for teaching the first course on the history of the Presidency.

How about "Soreto"?
Or Soetoro.
Isn’t it ironic that the law that protects Obama’s college records from the American people was written by one of the strongest conservatives ever to serve in the Senate, James Buckley of New York? And New Yorkers as quickly as they could removed Buckley from the Senate.
This story is at least a year old.
From July 2012:

The 2012 story was a follow-up from the Wall Street Journal in 2008:

Is Obama on the 1983 list of “Columbia College Class Day Program” attendees ? As far as I can tell apart from 2 or 3 scattered ‘roommates’ or ‘classmates’, that is the only piece of hard evidence ever brought up as a rebuttal to so-called deniers or ‘pure birtherism’.
In some ways it’s much older than that.
Not a chance.
The story of the missing time at Columbia is old. You are right about that. But what is new is that on June 9, an article was published stating that a well known professor (retired) from Columbia said he didn’t remember ever having Obama in his classes, and that Obama would have had to take one of his classes for his major.
Note that Obama claims graduation not from Columbia University, but specifically Columbia College, supposedly a component thereof. It seems odd that he would have a degree from the college but not the university. Though the original story was that he received a B.A. with major in political science, a recent article claimed he had been awarded a Master’s degree.
Obama almost pathologically twists facts to his immediate advantage — there is likely a half-truth behind this. In searching graduation lists for the possible years, it would be wise to check for the various Obama aliases (Obama, Soetoro, Soebarkah, Steve Dunham, etc.), grad school versus undergrad, some alternative Columbia College program (International Studies perhaps?), etc.

...Graff further told WND no professor he knew could remember having Obama as a student at Columbia.
“Nobody I knew at Columbia ever remembers Obama being there,” Graff insisted...
That’s a different claim than actually naming a professor.
The good professor better find himself a good tax attorney.
This is all allegation that could have been proven years ago. You go to the school and get the graduation programs, yearbooks, etc... They are kept at every institution. Very easy to check for college vs. University. Local police solve things every day using High School libraries for these items. The colleges can’t hide them. It would take less than 1 hour in the library. Even better, the classmates probably saved their programs. If not, the committee for reunions has master lists. These are things that can’t be deleted.

Yep. He's an illegal alien. What American citizen uses the term U.S. person instead of citizen?
Illegal aliens have:
Forged birth certificates
Stolen social security numbers
How about Barry Soetero?
How about Steven from Connecticut?
Would he become legal citizen after he married Michelle? Does he have tax returns before he married her that you know of?
Also read in the comment section- I’m posting this to view only and see how a illegal alien would think
