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."
Perhaps the phantom isn't the president after all. He has a way about him of making others forget they saw him.
After being out of the White House for a year or two some will say they don't remember him, but the garbage he left behind to continue ruining our lives will be there.
Very odd!
OMG!!!
To me it is obvious he is a fraud. The man with no past. Hmmm?
Is this why none of the records are released including the actual diploma from Columbia? Is he a total fraud that the Communists duped America into supporting knowing his background was built on sand until he got to Harvard. Did Harvard review any transcripts? I doubt with the people pushing him into Harvard Law.
Food for thought!
Lucy you have some splainin to dooo!
Interesting question.
Root was born in Mount Vernon, New York, the son of the late David and Stella Root. His father was a butcher from Brownsville, Brooklyn, who dabbled in third party politics as one of the original founders of the New York State Conservative Party.
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)
Obama’s photograph does not appear in the school’s yearbook
This is a wild goose chase. No one doubts that he attended Harvard Law School. In order to get in he would have had to have an undergraduate degree. He would have had to take the LSAT. He would have had to have at least passing grades. I don’t know what this post is implying. That he didn’t involve himself much in the school? That he didn’t attend classes? Maybe he didn’t. But he had to have graduated, from somewhere, at least.
I think that's a given.
This is really suspicious. Compare it to the scrutiny GWB got over his National Guard service. Or Quayle too for that matter!
Haven’t we seen this before? I think it’s a phony. No references. No article.
This infamous liar may not have attended any college or university at all. He is a fraud, through and through. The only real thing about this asshat is that he is a communist and hates the USA.
“Did Harvard review any transcripts? “
They sure did. It went like this:
“He’s a total boob, and doesn’t even qualify as janitor.”
Clown college president making Jedi hand signal,
“This is the minority you’re looking for. Let him move along.”
maybe the AP can fact check this when they have finished fact checking Sarah’s book.
I mean we have a man with hardly any background in the white house and there is not one media outlet which is a little curious.
All we have is his two books to go on which I might add has some very radical comments in it.
Now he wrote his own legacy before he came on the big scene which is why I have been saying now that bozo was groomed for this for years and between Soros, Ayers and others they worked on him, they worked on his speeches which his wife has said they have. They waited until the Dem convention to make his appearance with the help of those in the media which they worked with.
They made no one stood in his way , folks like the woman who did beat him in a local election but they got rid if her.
Ayers and others knew that violence was never going to win and they could never take the country over to get their agenda passed so they worked on the political front just like Hitler did and like Karl Marx said to do.
The man has come from no where, make a grand appearance and in just a short time he is now president but seems to have no clue what he is doing.
Look at his first week when he was signing orders and when a reporter asked what he was signing he never knew instead a shout from the back had ot answer for him .
With out a doubt he is a puppet and there are others pulling the strings.
course the left will dismiss all of this and laugh but they still cannot produce many of his past documents
This is what I think too...in 1983 in NYC everyone and their mother were doing cocaine!!!! He must have had a big, big problem. Somehow he got into Harvard yet let’s not forget he had connections and that is all that matters.
