The fact is that, up till now, presidents, and successful politicians generally, are very public people, mainly by temperament, but also by practice as they begin their careers.

The idea of some reticent, aloof, condescending mystery man becoming successful enough in the political game to get elected president goes against logic and history.

But I think there are plenty of people who knew Barry at the time; they're just the kind of people who like to remain in the background, or whose connection would be embarrassing.

However, the issue is being clouded, again, perhaps on purpose. I don't care if any students knew him; I want to see his grades, test scores, and application info. The idea that his college career was anything but a ticket-punching grooming experience defiees the evidence.

I agree. Like I said, you could find people who remember me in the small circle of people in the Army ROTC with me. Obama's circle likely is a group he doesn't want advertised, and those people are glad to stay mum.

But it is not at all unusual that most people in his class have no memory of him.
