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.

Being physically present doesn’t necessarily mean being academically present.

Then why doesn’t Columbia just show the records? Back in 2000 we learned what grades Bush and Gore made in college. Ditto Kerry in 2004. Why should this guy not be subject to the same scrutiny?

any chance you could get a copy of the pictures and post them ?

I wonder if Dr.Manning can answer if a non-student write in a college newspaper ?

"Obama graduated from Columbia College in 1983, and after spending a year in New York, moved to Chicago. Wayne Allyn Root says, “I don’t know a single person at Columbia that knows 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.

Questioner: Were you the exact same class?

Root: Class of ‘83 political science, pre-law Columbia University. You don’t get more exact 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, 20th reunion, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! Who was he, 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…

When asked about his undergraduate training at Columbia University, The New Times states that Obama “declined repeated requests to talk about his New York years, release his Columbia transcript or identify even a single fellow student, co-worker, roommate or friend from those years.”

Many of his classmates don’t remember Obama. He’s not in the yearbook. Columbia couldn’t find a picture of him at school.What can be said with some certainty is that Mr. Obama lived off campus while at Columbia in 1981-83 and made few friends. Fox News contacted some 400 of his classmates and found no one who remembered him."

The above from: Here

So what's the real scoop on this? Wish there were still some real investigative reporters around.

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.

Have you seen these pictures? This is the internet and anybody can claim anything. And think you can make 'history' by posting said pictures if they exist.

If she’s not willing to make them public, they probably don’t exist...

If you would have said that you had a family friend that worked with Obama in the CIA in the 80's fighting side by side with Osama and the Mujahadeen...that would have been more believable...and no one would ask you for proof.

He was there as in registered and attending classes, or he was there wandering around looking for his dealer?

Who are you? Maybe your an Obot. Who cares what your friend said they saw.

Pics, or it didn’t happen.

Simple enough to prove - have your family friend scan the pics, put’em online for all to see.

Was she in any class with him?
