0bama attended Columbia School of General Studies after Occidental. Not very difficult to do, as if your Irish Setter wanted to take a course, and had your checkbook, it would not be much of a problem. And your Irish Setter doesn't have William Ayers and his Columbia friends and relatives advising him. OTOH, he is probably more intelligent than 0bama.
The tricky part is that if a General Studies student completes enough courses, and/or has other credits from elsewhere accepted, voilà, the student can actually get a degree. People are confusing Columbia University, Columbia College, and Columbia General Studies. A big university system has many different schools and colleges attached.
Of course, what Columbia University will not release is exactly what the heck 0bama actually did while in their General Studies degree program.
Unfortunately Manning is pulling an Orly here. He's combining the legitimate question of "Natural Born Citizen," with a set of other, insubstantial charges which will assure that both complaints go nowhere. The only court that has the ability to handle the former is the Federal District Court in Washington, D.C. The latter is a non-starter. So both suits will be thrown out.
Good luck with the show, Reverend Jimmy!
I have no real knowledge of Columbia but I think you’ve made some valid points for consideration. From their general web page:
http://www.columbia.edu/academic_programs/index.html
Undergraduate education at Columbia is offered through Columbia College, the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, and the School of General Studies. Undergraduate programs are offered by two affiliated institutions, Barnard College and Jewish Theological Seminary. Columbia University provides post-graduate education through thirteen graduate and professional schools and a school of continuing education. Three affiliated schools also offer post-graduate programs.
I was in the school of general studies at columbia during the years that obama was there and got a degree in political science as well in 86. O got his in 83. I transferred from American University in Washington DC whereas O transferred from Occidental in California.
None of the columbia college guys from those years recall O. I don’t recall O either. But I believe he attended GS because all of his beliefs come right out of some of the departments there from that period. And I have seen a phone record of him from 1983 at his apt on east 93 st.
I like manning—and I believe there is a problem with the birth certificate thing— but I agree—he should not have brought in the birth certificate.
Don't any of these former students of the General Studies program remember him? I don't recall any of these people coming forward and saying that they sat next to Obama in any of their classes.
I attended Villanova University both general studies and then as a fully enrolled student in the university. **I** surely would have remembered a **black** student in one of my classes. They were as rare as Dodo bird teeth.
