Columbia College is a relatively small, coeducational, residential college situated in a large and complex university. These circumstances work to the advantage of our students, who often enjoy the individual, personal attention that only a small college can provide and, at the same time, attend classes that offer an impressive array of intellectual challenges and rewards.

Barack Obama '83 Becomes First College Alumnus To Win Presidency
Wednesday, November 5, 2008
Barack Obama '83 became the first College alumnus to be elected President of the United States. On November 4, Obama defeated his Republican challenger, Sen. John McCain P'07, ending a marathon campaign that saw Obama rise from a first-term senator to the nation's first African-American president.
Obama, who was profiled in Columbia College Today in January 2005 when he burst upon the national political scene, transferred to Columbia from Occidental prior to his junior year.
In one of their few joint appearances, the candidates were interviewed in Roone Arledge Auditorium on September 11 at the Service Nation Presidential Candidates Forum.
This year's Presidential election had four candidates with strong College ties on the ballot. In addition to Obama being an alumnus, McCain's daughter, Meghan, is a 2007 College alumna; Wayne Allyn Root '83 was the Libertarian Party Vice-Presidential nominee running with Bob Barr; and Matt Gonzalez '87 ran as an independent candidate on the same ticketas Ralph Nader.

At Columbia, not a single person has been able to say he or she remembers Obama. That is just a wrong statement and this is a ridiculous waste-of-time conspiracy theory.
It is not unusual for a third-year transfer student to be remembered by few of his classmates, especially if they do not live in college housing. College students often tend to associate with people they meet in their freshman year. But there are classmates, roommates, and at least one professor who have come forward to say that they remember Obama.
Obama's roommates have remembered him including one who published his recollections in a Columbia alumni magazine. This roommate transferred with Obama from Occidental.
"Obama's professors and classmates, including former international politics professor Michael Baron and current MTV president Michael Wolf, confirm that he was a brilliant, standout student and that he was an active participant in seminars." - WikiCU - "The Columbia University wiki encyclopedia"
Obviously Obama could not publicly claim to have gone to Columbia and not have anyone in the Columbia administration shoot down this claim in all the years since his book was first published, if it were not true. In fact Columbia has confirmed that Obama was there just when he says.
Whose word am I going to believe, that of Columbia University or an ex-felon like Pastor Manning?

Both of you have hit upon the crux of Obama’s past.
For the past two years I’ve been searching for information about his background. You’ll find the following interesting, if you don’t already know about it, and I hope you’ll forgive me for sounding overdramatic but I suspect that Obama’s secret lies in Indonesia.

OBAMA: THROWING PAPUA UNDER THE BUS
By An American Expat in Southeast Asia Larry Martin
In an article entitled A Forgotten Cause ¹, Peter Tatchell sheds light on the plight of the West Papuans, many of whom are Christians and have suffered under Indonesias brutal policy of ethnic and religious persecution. The untold story though is how the Obama campaign would sell out the West Papuans in a desperate attempt to protect Obamas presidential bid.
On the 3rd of July, 2007, U.S. Congressman Eni Faleomavaega would touch down in Djakarta, Indonesia. A staunch, outspoken critic of Djakartas rule over West Papua, New Guinea, and a crusader for West Papuas right to self determination, the chairman of the House Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific and the Global Environment, Faleomavaega promised to be a force to be reckoned with.
Having been barred from visiting Papua by the Indonesian government, Faleomavaega would instead settle for a private meeting in Djakarta with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Barnabas Suebu, the governor for the Indonesian province of Papua. The Papuan issue though wasnt the only thing on his mind, being one of Barack Obamas most devoted disciples, Faleomavaega would be seeking the Indonesian governments assistance in supporting Barack Obamas presidential campaign as well as making the requisite pilgrimage to Barack Obamas childhood school.
According to Indonesian sources, officials who accompanied Faleomavaega were interested in acquiring any and all documentation of photographs of a young Barry Soetoro for Americas national archives and they were offering cash, lots of it. In a show of faith, Barack Obamas childhood school would be one of the very first beneficiaries of this outpouring, receiving thousands of dollars to upgrade the school and for the purchase of computer equipment, thanks in part to the benevolence of this visiting junket.
The challenge, of course, was securing Indonesian government records potentially damaging to Barack Obamas candidacy for the U.S. presidency as well as other records pertaining to a young Barry Soetoro and his family wouldnt be so easy to acquire and secure. For this the visitors would need the assistance and cooperation of the Indonesian government.
Its not that getting Indonesian government help is difficult, its not. It is no secret that Indonesia is one of the most corrupt countries on the planet, but were not talking about the challenge of dealing with corrupt government officials here, but rather dealing with the true believers of change. Convincing the Indonesian government that an Obama presidency will be able to deliver that change, and that it was in the interest of both countries to see that Barack Obama was elected, was nothing more than a fait accompli for Faleomavaegas entourage.
For West Papuas governor in attendance, having been pacified at the prospect that an Obama presidency would enable him to make zillions trading carbon credits on the Chicago Climate Exchange. Barnabas Suebu would sit quietly as the fate of West Papua was decided.
The only issue of contention Faleomavaega would face from the Indonesian government would be the issue of West Papua. In the end, it was simply a give and take situation. The Obama campaign needed assistance from the Indonesian government and the Indonesian government wanted a free hand in Papua.
Later concerning Faleomavaegas meeting, Indonesian presidential spokesman Dino Patti Djalal² would have this to say: One thing that is sure is that Faleomavaegas visit here has changed his views about Indonesia. It has made him realize this country is so vast and complex it cannot be reduced by the Papua issue
Dino said Faleomavaega was known as a member of the U.S. Congress who often commented on the Papuan issue but now he had changed his views. He now sees that Papua is inalienable part of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.
Faleomavaegas meeting with Indonesias president regarding West Papua and his subsequent flip-flop on supporting West Papuas right to self-determination is something that you might think would warrant at least a press release on the congressmans website. But there is nothing, nor is there any mention on the House Subcommittees site. No press release, nothing, not even a mere mention of his trip to Indonesia.
In the end everyone got what they wanted, all to the detriment of the West Papuans.
There is no denying the fact that the prospect of an Obama presidency has emboldened the Indonesian governments brutal repression in Papua. In an earlier article, we explained in detail how an Obama presidency would stoke ethnic and religious chauvinism in Indonesia, and how Indonesias Islamic fundamentalists will use an Obama presidency to radicalize a new contingent of militants from the ranks of Islams moderates. Individuals who are mesmerized by the phantasmagorical image of one of their own now inhabiting the White House, and who will see it as a sign of Americas impending submission and our nations acquiescence to the superiority of Islam. Tee-shirts blazoned with messianic images of Barack Hussein Obama have been very popular in Indonesia. In Indonesia, Barack Obama is fast becoming the Che Guevara of Indonesias young wannabe Islamists.
The Indonesian government is not only failing to protect the West Papuans from the violence of militant Islam, but the government is actively stoking the fires of ethnic and religious chauvinism and supporting intimidation against the West Papuans with many in recent day taking to the streets protesting the introduction of Islamic law.
For Indonesias national news agency to refer to the U.S government as the George Bush administration, highlights the dichotomy of opposing foreign policy positions that are being both presented and exploited by the left. That Indonesia would feel it was safe to renew their campaign of brutal repression in Papua during the last few month of the Bush administration, the diplomatic sabotage conducted by the Obama campaign is partially, if not wholly, responsible.

Note: according to his autobiography, Obama lived in Indonesia between the ages 6 to 10 years. There is a school photograph taken in Hawaii, showing him with another boy, when both were 8 years old and in 3rd grade. Whatever the truth, why would Obama go to such extremes to hide his childhood in Indonesia unless the secret was extremely damaging.

Obama's 1983 College Magazine Article
["Breaking the War Mentality"]
"In 1983, at the height of the cold war, Barack Obama, then a senior at Columbia University, wrote in a campus newsmagazine about the vision of "a nuclear free world." The article in the Sundial profiled two campus groups: Arms Race Alternatives and Students Against Militarism."
