The problem is that it wasn't actually his thesis. Apparently, it was a course paper that a professor refered to as Obama's thesis. Since it wasn't officially a thesis there's not going to be a copy on record at the university.

The story is that Columbia's Political Science Department didn't have an independent thesis writing option in the 1980s. Princeton, by contrast, made just about everybody do some sort of senior project or thesis.

Yeah, I was one of the victims of that. It actually was kinda fun, though.

Amazingly enough, somebody came up to me at work and said that she had read a copy of my thesis . . . not sure how she got hold of a copy, apparently through a friend of a friend of a cousin who got a copy from Princeton.

She liked it though. I told her, "I could do it better now."
