Obama's ID Card from Columbia University

[ducttape45]

Hey you'all. Someone sent me a screenshot of Obama's ID card from Columbia University. I don't know if it's real and it's not a very good image. I would like to see it get posted somewhere but don't know if FR is the right place to do it, and if it's ok I have no way of posting it. Perhaps someone out there does.

Apparently it was posted on someone's Facebook page and was promptly removed by Facebook, but enough copies got out there that it's spreading. It's not a very good image but it does show his picture with the name "Barry Soetoro" and a dark strip at the bottom, white lettering on dark, that says "FOREIGN STUDENT."

What do you think, anyone else want to see it? If you Freepmail me with an email address I'll send it to you.

Not real. The base template is a Columbia Student ID from the late 90’s. Back in Obama’s day they did not have bar codes.

Nor do their ID’s designate “foreign student” from any other type.

I saw it on Facebook and don’t think it’s real. Could be, but I didn’t think so at the time.

Fake

“Fake but accurate”

This actually is probably what Barry is trying to hide.

He WAS born in Hawaii, but gamed the system as a “foreign student” in order to get into Harvard.

Barack Obama '83 Becomes First College Alumnus To Win Presidency

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

Barack Obama '83 became the first College alumnus to be elected President of the United States. On November 4, Obama defeated his Republican challenger, Sen. John McCain P'07, ending a marathon campaign that saw Obama rise from a first-term senator to the nation's first African-American president.

Obama, who was profiled in Columbia College Today in January 2005 when he burst upon the national political scene, transferred to Columbia from Occidental prior to his junior year.

In one of their few joint appearances, the candidates were interviewed in Roone Arledge Auditorium on September 11 at the Service Nation Presidential Candidates Forum.

This year's Presidential election had four candidates with strong College ties on the ballot. In addition to Obama being an alumnus, McCain's daughter, Meghan, is a 2007 College alumna; Wayne Allyn Root '83 was the Libertarian Party Vice-Presidential nominee running with Bob Barr; and Matt Gonzalez '87 ran as an independent candidate on the same ticketas Ralph Nader.

Why Won’t Obama Talk About Columbia?
The years he won’t discuss may explain the Ayers tie he keeps lying about:

It’s 100% fake. If you check, the photo that was used to creat the fake is the same photo that was used on the cover of David Maraniss’ biography, and it is not a student ID photo. It’s from his early years in Chicago, I believe it was used in his first Congressional campaign materials.

Thanks folks, that’s what I wanted to know. I had a feeling it was fake but wanted to make sure.
