Keep in mind that Wayne Allen Root, who graduated from Columbia the same year Obama says he did has no recollection of the guy, nor doe any of Wayne’s classmates.
I would love to read Obama’s dissertation that he wrote in Columbia. I wonder why it is such a secret? For some reason, I thought such works were in the public domain if the schools accepted gov’t grants. At any rate, if I had written a dissertation for my degree, I would have been very proud of it and would enjoy sharing it with people.
When it was all said and done (research) there was more said than done. Where's the beef?
I wonder why Nobama decided to transfer all the way to New York. Who did he know there?
Methinks there is even more here than what meets the eye:

AMBUSH: THE BRINKS ROBBERY OF 1981

The F.B.I. entered the case immediately since deposits in the Nanuet National Bank are insured by F.D.I.C. Any theft that involves such funds constitutes a federal crime. Through their intelligence files, agents were able to ascertain that Boudin, Gilbert and Clark had previous connections with the Weathermen organization. Boudin, of course, had been on the run since 1970 from the Manhattan townhouse explosion and Gilbert was being sought for assault and possession of explosives in Colorado. Clark had served a prison sentence for her role in the “Days of Rage” demonstration.
After police conducted their initial investigation, they quickly arrived at several conclusions. Somehow, over the previous ten years, the Black Liberation Army and the Weather Underground, a militant faction of the Students for a Democratic Society, had teamed forces. This unlikely coalition was apparently committing robberies to obtain funds for the advancement of their respective “causes.”

Anyone?
Bueller?
cocaine.
Maybe he was a gay gigolo living in the Village.
Obama has said that he attended socialist conferences during his time in New York. Probably the “socialist scholars conference” which presumably consists of academics performing “direct actions” to sabatoge each others committees and whatnot. www.socialistscholars.org
Ransby has also been a community activist. She got her graduate degrees at the University of Michigan. (Ayers attended U of Michigan, too)
In 2002 -- Ransby moderated a panel which included Obama and Ayers
Ransby is Associate Professor, Gender and Women's Studies, African American Studies, and History Director, Gender and Women's Studies Program at Univ. Ill /Chicago
Earlier this year Ransby (and others) wrote a letter to the editors of the Chicago Tribune, defending Ayers
Thanks to everyone who pinged me. Pinging everyone.

[even wiki shows a connection between Ayers and one or more of the brinks perps, which robbery occurred in ‘81, shortly after NObama arrived in NYC.]

[Obama’s “community organizing” in NYC was after his stint at BIC where he embellished his duties. He worked for a Nader organization with training provided by that organization earning less than $10,000/year(teaching University students to recycle) and this was mentioned on the long thread.]

[more embellishment from Obama as the title of the article states]

Besides learning just what Obama did when he attended Columbia, one must also ask how someone from B-Class Occidental ends his 4 year degree at Columbia with what could not have been more than a C+ (he did not make the lowest level of “with honors” - cum laude) when he graduated Columbia, but somehow, still, not only gets into prestigious Harvard Law but is barely there and becomes lead editor of the Harvard Law Review??????
Yet, throughout that whole period, and even after “teaching” at the University of Chicago, there is not a single published law article by Obama - not one.
He is not for real. He has what must be the most manufactured history of any presidential candidate ever.

Got to come back and read this one.
Excellent thread.
HISTORY & CONNECTIONS
Chesa’s grandfather was a secret Communist Party strategist. Leonard Boudin masqueraded as a civil rights lawyer during the years the Weathermen killed, robbed and bombed, but really was a contact man for such hostile foreign powers as the Soviet Union and Cuba. Daughter Katherine was one of New York’s elite, attending good schools such as Bryn Mawr, enjoying a year in Moscow and developing a social conscience that allowed her to plan the killing and maiming of her fellow Americans.
Chesa receiving the Rhodes Scholarship is worth a closer look. British ultra-conservative statesman Cecil Rhodes created the scholarships in 1902. Winners are selected, so it is said, on the basis of academic achievement, integrity, leadership potential and physical vigor. Out of 981 applicants from some 341 colleges, 32 Americans were named as Rhodes Scholars. Chesa adds injury to the insult left by William Jefferson Clinton to this once-respected institution and to the United States.
Selection was through a committee chaired by Dennis Hutchinson, an academic at the University of Chicago who teaches constitutional law. A Rhodes scholar in the 1970s himself, Hutchinson’s resume ends with a statement, “professional scholars (must) … do more than simply talk to one another.”
Interestingly, no one has asked about any connection between Chesa’s adoptive parents and Hutchinson, though there certainly must be one. Chicago is a large city, but not that large, especially in the realm of academia, where, it is surmised, they “do more than simply talk to one another.”
Guardian Mom Dohrn, described by former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover as “La Pasionara of the lunatic left,” now pretends that her widely publicized support for the Manson Family killings in the ‘70s was a joke. “We were mocking violence in America,” she has said. Yet she does not deny her leadership of the terrorist cult, and none of her comrades thought the lovely Bernardine was joking.
Guardian Dad, the distinguished Professor Ayers, not only hides his some 17 tattoos under his smart suits, but these days he is writing books about his exploits as a revolutionary and his bombing activities. However, in describing a bomb he placed in the Pentagon, Ayers brags a bit too much. “It turns out that we blew up a bathroom and, quite by accident, water plunged below and knocked out their computers for a time, disrupting the air war and sending me into deepening shades of delight.”
“Disrupting the air war” today would provide grounds enough not only to disrupt the professor’s tenure but to have Ayers facing much more serious charges.
Is it any wonder? Copy and distribute this info on the radicalisation of our educational and civil society:
Here are Richard Cloward and Frances Piven, the team that created the blueprints for most of the social unrest's legal acts to date.
First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, the "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
Inspired by the August 1965 riots in the black district of Watts in Los Angeles (which erupted after police had used batons to subdue a black man suspected of drunk driving), Cloward and Piven published an article titled "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty" in the May 2, 1966 issue of The Nation. Following its publication, The Nation sold an unprecedented 30,000 reprints. Activists were abuzz over the so-called "crisis strategy" or "Cloward-Piven Strategy", as it came to be called. Many were eager to put it into effect.
In their 1966 article, Cloward and Piven charged that the ruling classes used welfare to weaken the poor; that by providing a social safety net, the rich doused the fires of rebellion. Poor people can advance only when "the rest of society is afraid of them," Cloward told The New York Times on September 27, 1970. Rather than placating the poor with government hand-outs, wrote Cloward and Piven, activists should work to sabotage and destroy the welfare system; the collapse of the welfare state would ignite a political and financial crisis that would rock the nation; poor people would rise in revolt; only then would "the rest of society" accept their demands.
You can bet your bippy that Obama/Soerto -- the 'Kenyan' -- was under their direct tutelage during his years on campus.
Then we get to Acorn -- the most visible entity currently active.
