I know this is an old article, but it raises a lot of questions that were probably glossed over at the time. One question left unanswered is, how many times has Obama been to Pakistan?

Was his friend at Occidental connected with high powers in Pakistan? Or did he take a second trip as State Senator? If so, why is there no record of it?

I went to Indiana University in the 1980s and there were quite a few muslim students there, a few of whom I befriended. But by and large, they were a clique as you might imagine. What is the likelihood that this "multicultural" group of Obama's included any Jewish people, or for that matter, any Christians? In fact, by their names, they were all muslim.

The article talks about the alleged poverty of Obama while going to Columbia...is that supposed to be a joke? He was either bankrolled or on a scholarship. There's no mention of him working (I worked my way through college; there was not enough money available in student loans to pay full out of state tuition at IU; there cannot possibly have been enough for Columbia). So who paid his tuition and rent? If he was not bankrolled by someone, how did he make the rent payments?

It is utterly incredible that we have so little information about the "Lost Years" of Obama--a period of his life that for any other person would be considered among the most formative. What we do know is close ties to a number of Pakistanis (nothing wrong with that), all of whom are well-connected to the ruling class and all of whom apparently have done quite well for themselves--in strange contrast to the self-proclaimed poverty of Obama.

McCain may be reluctant to release what by all accounts would be a lackluster transcript from Annapolis, but at least we have numerous accounts, eyewitnesses, etc...and that was over 40 years ago and all the worlds knows what he became.

I can easily produce a list of my friends from college, my employers, etc. and I graduated in 1986. It's not ancient history. What the hell is going on with this country? What the hell is going on with the media? How can the biggest "vetting" debacle of all time have taken place in full view of the public for the last four years? God help us all.
