Manning: "Why is it that Columbia is so silent? And why are they acting so arrogantly? I know this is painful for you as students to hear me make these charges. But the evidence is irrefutable. Obama wasn't there! You have access to the records. Why don't you do this. Why don't you go into the records, Look at the classes, go through the procedures that I've done with an investigation in your same system, And you will discover that he was not there."

How could he possibly know that?
I really doubt an outsider could get the university to release whatever information about specific classes or sections were in the archives.
For that matter, it's not like there's a class photo out there for Poli Sci 101 or International relations 301 or like professors turn over their corrected papers to a central archive.
It wasn't a senior thesis. Unlike Princeton, Columbia didn't require a thesis from every student.
The word is that at that time there wasn't a thesis requirement for an honors degree in poli sci or international relations either, so whether he got honors or not, Obama didn't write one.
The "thesis" was a course paper that got described as a "senior thesis" by the professor, Michael Baron, in an interview with the NY Times, and the story grew from there.
Because it actually wasn't a senior thesis, the paper wasn't going to be archived like Michelle Obama's or Hillary Clinton's thesis was.
Our Fearlessly Ineligible Leader was indeed there, registered as a a student in the Columbia School of General Studies.
Requirements for the Columbia School of General Studies:
(1) Breathing with a discernible heartbeat
(2)A big fat checkbook.
Of course, no one knows what the hell he did while there. That's the secret part. The non-secret part is that guided by Bill Ayres and his sister-in-law, a prof at Barnard (part of Columbia), BHO, Jr. had enough credits accepted from Occidental, and added enough Columbia credits to qualify for a Columbia degree. Then it was off to Harvard Law. We even know how that happened. However, we know neither how or what he did there, nor anywhere else.
The truth of the matter seems to be that BHO, Jr. was no student. He had a lackluster HS record, with probably low SAT's, which explains Occidental. As an Affirmative Action Anus with a connected commiemommie, if he had anything near a decent record in HS, he could have walked into the Ivy League.
Rev. Manning knows all of this and is, I am afraid, just a big jerk with some kind of sensationalist agenda. I would advise taking him here on the site with a giant grain of salt.
Manning did an investigation within Columbia. Looks like Manning has all his ducks in a row with a few surprises.
ROTFLMAO. I reckon he may have ridden the subway by 116th Street a few times. Perhaps he even got out.
If Team Obama isn't paying The Reverend Manning,
they ought to be. He's a pushover.
I post to myself just in regards to what Manning says in his video clips. Is that against FR posting rules? If not then why do you care?
There's a lot of leeway when talking about the President of the United States. How do you think people got away with some of the awful things said about Bush?
Columbia needs to address the upcoming trial and Manning’s accusations. Did Obama attend Columbia as a traditional student or was he given a free degree without doing any of the work? If they gave him a free degree, why? And if so, is it really a legitimate degree if he didn’t do any of the course work.
Columbia cannot ignore this.
obumpa
Prepare to be disappointed.
Just curious, what are you basing your opinion of Pastor Manning on?
He has said, go ahead and check what he has said, prove him wrong.... If you can give us proof of something he has said is wrong, THEN you can judge him.
Pastor Manning can’t give too much info right now because it’s evidence for the trial. Wait until the trial and how Columbia and Obama react.
ping. I used to think Manning was a little...well, nuts. Then I saw a video where he proved that Oprah was the Anti-Christ. It was then I realized he was totally sane.
LOL!
“I have a family friend that was at columbia at the time. She has pictures. He was there. She was sort of a friend, did not know him well.”
Was she in any class with him?
Is Columbia College and Columbia University the same place?
” If they gave him a free degree, why? And if so, is it really a legitimate degree if he didn’t do any of the course work.
Columbia cannot ignore this.”
They have ignored it, and the MSM will NOT cover it.
Of course, Columbia can ignore this. And, they will. I advise you to do the same.
I'll say this: If Manning actually reaches his goals, then Columbia might respond. If tens of thousands of people wearing monk's robes, Condoleezza Rice masks and policemen in their "outfits" march around the University, and if this trial is watched by 70 million households, making it the most-watched event in U.S. history, then there's a chance Columbia will respond.
The problem is that Manning has delusions of grandeur, and nobody takes him seriously. A couple dozen people might attend his trial, probably fewer. He made the mistake of thinking the people who chuckled when he called the President a "long-legged mack daddy" will follow him into fringe lunatic territory.
No.
See post #67. The College is one of three undergraduate institutions within the University.
Manning says he can prove Obummer didn’t take any actual classes at Columbia, meaning he received a degree without doing any of the actual work.
