BINGO! Time for Mittens to get down and dirty.

Call out the AnointedIdiot and his merry band of idiotic goons and challenge them to release a sealed document for every year of Mitt’s tax returns..... =.=

Maybe, maybe not. As I pointed out there were a couple of people who remembered Obama at Columbia. There was a U.S. congressman in my graduating class as well. I have run into him and talked to him recently at a couple of functions. I don't remember him at all in college and he did not remember me from college. We both had similar schedules in college. I'm just saying it is quite possible. I don't remember reading about President Reagan's classmates from Eureka College.

New York City is an easy place to go and be forgotten. Also, don’t forget you are taking your prespective from being in a faternity. How many commuting students have you kept in touch with and do you remember their names?

Heap big leap there, chief.

There were few Blacks in Columbia and Harvard at that time so this is not exactly like remembering a couple of random White guys like you or I.

I remember the Black guys in my graduate programs because they could be counted on one hand. I sure this would be the case with WhatsHisName? just about every college he has been.

The African kid in one of my Econ. grad courses made an indelible mark on me. He looked absolutely terrified and was sweating bullets for some reason.

Foreigners in American colleges stood out in those days. African-Americans, even in the early 80s, probably didn't -- not so much -- especially if they didn't say much.

FWIW, if Obama did apply as a foreign student, he probably didn't keep up the charade. You can imagine how tiring it would be to always have to talk in an accent.

And of course, college is different from graduate school, where classes are smaller and people in the same department are more likely to take all the same classes.
