Root: Class of '83 political science, pre-law Columbia University. You don't get more exact than that. Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him. At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, 20th reunion, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! Who was he, and five years ago, nobody even knew who he was.
In 1981, Obama transferred from Occidental to Columbia. In between, he traveled to Pakistan — a trip that enhanced his foreign policy qualifications, he maintained in a private speech at a San Francisco fundraiser last month. Obama spent "about three weeks" in Pakistan, traveling with Hamid and staying in Karachi with Chandoo's family, said Bill Burton, Obama's press secretary.
Karachi raises huge red flags: it is a major center for Islamic extremism, and was perhaps the most important center for Islamic terrorism.
What the dickens is Senator Obama doing in Karachi, Pakistan, in 1981?
Why won't the MSM ask even a single question of Senator Obama about this sojourn in a most unlikely city? A man running for President of the United States goes to a most unlikely city, and the press find nothing curious? But they descend en masse on Wasilla, Alaska, and write stories about Governor Palin's hairdresser?
Dang I just realized Obambi was in NYC at the same time as me, and that he lived on the upper west side for a time. I could have passed him on the street.
