Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but none remembered him.
Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who also graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me.
I don't have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia. Ever! Nobody recalls him. I'm not exaggerating, I'm not kidding." Root adds that he was also, like Obama, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer 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, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me.
No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York, the macha who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him. Is that not strange?
It's very strange." Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia, provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Allyn_Root#column-one
NOTE: Root graduated as Valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School, then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major (in the same class as President Barack Obama WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN IN).
Can it be that BHO is a complete fraud?? More intrigue concerning "The Man who wasn't there."
Wishful thinking. We will not arise, our children will devour us.
That's silly. Crack did not hit the streets until 0 was already at Harvard Law School. Also, the student does not submit his college transcript to the law school. The transcript is always forwarded directly from the college.
Note that this is an unsourced article. Don't get too excited.
Did you even look at that link?
lol
That's OK. You aren't the first to post this. You won't be the last.
From the link in reply #32...
“Federal law limits the information that Columbia can release about Mr. Obama’s time there. A spokesman for the university, Brian Connolly, confirmed that Mr. Obama spent two years at Columbia College and graduated in 1983 with a major in political science. He did not receive honors, Mr. Connolly said, though specific information on his grades is sealed. A program from the 1983 graduation ceremony lists him as a graduate.”
Baraq’s records are in a “lockbox” for an obvious reason.
You can bet your arse that if they were “good” records, they would be framed and on the wall in Gibbs’ press briefing room.
Not only willing, but **honored** and **pleased** to say, “ I knew him!”
So?....Where are the 11 reports doing the fact check on Obama’s life? ...Hm?...Such as DID HE INDEED attend Columbia University? They wouldn't even have to go dumpster diving for that.
Ah, man .... don’t insult the Zulu by attributing Michelle O to them! ;^)
And while we’re on the subject ...
Why has NOBODY working in the records office of ANY of his schools, colleges, Selective Service, passport office, etc., ever “leaked” a copy of his records to some high-paying mercenary news source? I’m sure the National Enquirer, for example, would pay big bucks for such exclusive dirt. Hell, I’d ask around for the highest bidder!
Could it be that those records don’t exist in the first place? He’s been caught lying repeatedly, even though the MSM won’t report it, so why not?
I was a geek in college and I was the photographer for the yearbook. Not having your picture in the yearbook is not that unusual. Especially in a school the size of Columbia.
The fact that no one can remember knowing him is a little concerning. Imagine what the Alumni association must think about that. I would think they would want to be all over it, collecting stuff for their Obama display.
Curious.

I didn’t get my picture taking for the yearbook either.
It could be that they are all dead. It would be about the right timeline, Patient Zero died in 1984.
Apparently Obama was nothing to write home about or send pictures.
Could not find any other connections in google search which were not based on the Columbia Alumi article.
There's always Larry Sinclair.
How are things in California, Mom?
You're not from Loma Linda are you? I just wondered since you wondered what this post implied.
It implies your president is a damned phony and should have been elected governor of your state rather than sitting in the White House ruining the entire country and ALL our lives.

You may be right about the transcript, although I am guessing that the procedure probably varies from school to school. On the other hand, I am sure a Saudi Billionaire could figure out how to submit a false transcript for someone to Harvard law.
Crack may not have hit the streets yet coke and pot were available everywhere...even at bars in nyc and you had better believe he was doing it and getting it free.
You may be entitled to your opinion but please do not ping me with that kind of post. I don't want any part of it.
And, if you are interested, the accepted practice here is to include any FReeper you are referring to in the “to” line of your posts.
It is considered ordinary courtesy.
Excellent book.
