My life has crossed paths with President Obama on multiple occasions. According to Obama, we were Columbia University classmates, both Pre Law and Political Science majors in the Class of ’83. I also ran against Obama in 2008 on the Libertarian Party Presidential ticket. What are the odds?
But something about “the Obama at Columbia story” has always bothered me. Earlier in the week right here at The Blaze I wrote about having just returned from New York, where I attended my 30th Columbia University reunion. I celebrated with my esteemed classmates. Everyone except Barack Obama. As usual- he wasn’t there. Not a trace. Not a video greeting. Not a letter. I could not find any classmates who knew him.
I called Obama “the Ghost of Columbia University.” I pointed out (as I’ve said in the media for many years now) that Obama may have been registered at Columbia, may have graduated from Columbia, but he was rarely (if ever) seen for the two years in-between. It’s a strange, mysterious and frightening story.
Is he the real-life “Manchurian Candidate?” What explains Obama having just enough skeletal proof that he was there (one photo, one roommate, one professor, one friend)…but never seen in a class, never on anyone’s radar screen, almost invisible. A total 2-year blackout. It’s like a story straight out of a novel about the CIA or KGB. He graduated Columbia, but it’s almost as if he never went there.
To make matters more mysterious, Obama’s college records are sealed. He’s had plenty of opportunities to authorize the release, to clear the air. He has never chosen to do so. But why? What has he got to hide? Funny enough Obama has never had a problem ripping open the sealed records of his political opponents. Every step of his career Obama has beaten his opponents by having sealed documents just happen to be publicly exposed by anonymous sources. But not Obama. His records are always unavailable (and never leaked). Obama always seems to have powerful forces on his side.
Did he attend Columbia as a foreign student? That was the educated guess I made in my appearance on “Hannity” on Fox News a year ago. The only photo of Obama from his Columbia days was in his off-campus apartment with a roommate described by USA Today as a Pakistani national, pot smoker, and cocaine abuser. If you’re a foreign student, you live in housing off-campus with other foreign students.
That would also explain how he transferred to Columbia. Transferring into an Ivy League school is all but impossible. I did a little digging and found out only 3 transfer students in all of America were accepted into Columbia in the past academic year. Three students out of 315 million Americans. Yet those who knew Obama at Occidental called him a pot smoker and partier who rarely attended class. You’re telling me that a poor student, with that record, at an average college, was accepted for transfer into prestigious Columbia University? Only if he was an exotic Indonesian foreign student transferring into a college that desperately wanted to claim an ethnically and globally diverse student body.
Still that might explain how Obama got into Columbia. But where was he for those two years? My gut instincts say something is wrong with “the Obama at Columbia story.” Very wrong. Rancid.
But until now, I was the only one publicly voicing my suspicions. That just changed in a big way. Meet Professor Henry Graff, perhaps the most legendary and honored professor ever at Columbia University. He was THE American History and Diplomatic History professor at Columbia for 46 years. And he is more emphatic than yours truly that there are no Obama footprints at Columbia.
I was put on Professor Graff’s trail by another Columbia classmate, skeptical about Obama’s story. He told me that Professor Graff had been the speaker for the Class of ’53 last weekend at Columbia. My friend was watching Graff answer questions from the crowd when he was asked about Obama at Columbia. Graff said, “I have my doubts he ever went here.”
I did some digging and located Graff’s home phone number. I called him yesterday. Now retired, he was delighted to hear from me. He agreed to go on the record about Obama. Unlike Obama, Professor Graff clearly remembered me. He was thrilled to hear from his former student. I was in several of Graff’s classes and he remembered me like it was yesterday. He sounded great- like he hasn’t lost any of his trademark sharpness in 30 years since we last met.
I was honored to learn that this legendary historian has been following my political career for many years. But he had no such cheery things to say about the President. Graff said, “I taught at Columbia for 46 years. I taught every significant American politician that ever studied at Columbia. I know them all. I’m proud of them all. Between American History and Diplomatic History, one way or another, they all had to come through my classes. Not Obama. I never had a student with that name in any of my classes. I never met him, never saw him, never heard of him.”
Even more importantly, Professor Graff knew the other history and political science professors. “None of the other Columbia professors knew him either” said Graff.
Graff concluded our interview by saying, “I’m very upset by the whole story. I am angry when I hear Obama called ‘the first President of the United States from Columbia University.’ I don’t consider him a Columbia student. I have no idea what he did on the Columbia campus. No one knows him.”
There is something wrong with Obama’s story- I know that. Many of my classmates at last weekend’s 30th reunion knew that. Now the most beloved Professor ever at Columbia joins us in publicly questioning the story. Obama is either the ghost of Columbia, or the perfect Manchurian candidate. But something smells rotten at Columbia.
That could be a picture of Obama at Columbia. Where did you find it?
Oh wait, the Invisible Man was at Universal. My bad.
To those who’ve been trying to find the truth about this imposter, it’s been suspected for a long time.
Nothing about this commie bastard’s autobiography is true.
And other than we conservatives, nobody gives a damn.
I saw your comment that got pulled. Indeed the moderation on this board can be, uh, uneven. imo, best to stick to standard English and use the wonderful English language forcefully and creatively.
Again imo, references to bodily functions and orifices don't help all that much; in fact they can make the argument forwarded look juvenile and not serious.
I made a comment about Obama being a shill. A comment sent to me stated that the Republican Senators must also be shills. Now, that reply is so ridiculous that it borders on true stupidity, or the person is being disingenuous. I gave that person the benefit of the doubt and wrote a reply for someone who is being disingenuous. Now, our ever vigilant manners nannies have been offended by talk about snot. Not a comment about someone being disingenuous, but comments about how crass it is to talk about snot? At least I’m honest. I have found that oftentimes a person who is unaware of the intricacies of a debate will get caught-up in words that offend their genteel sensibilities. Try to stay up with the game.
Sorry, no sale.
You quote Rove?
The republicans are very busy allowing enabling and pushing through immigration, allowance for invasion of our phones and internet and pushing through liberal candidates in addition to allowing Benghazi to go unanswered.
Go away and do not accuse me of having the vapors over not being able to stand up to my point of view while it was the disgusting and idiotic use of offensive language that was offended and got your post taken.
???
I read an article last night on Free Republic that was a thinly-veiled threat that IEDs could be used by Americans against the government. This is OK, but saying that Democrats eat snot is removed? Hmmmmmm.......something’s not right here. I was drawing attention to the fact that there are people on this site that use any post as an excuse to attack Republicans. You may think that my response was immature, but you noticed it. Several people noticed it. The Democrats make their fortunes by looting the public treasuries. Anybody willing to do that would also be willing to “plant” Democrat operatives on a conservative site to argue about everything. My tactics may appear to be “immature”, but I’m not pompous.
This is a huge story. Another one...that the MSM will not cover.
Henry Graff himself needs to get in front of the cameras and say it. The media isn’t going to just takes Roots claim as gospel truth.
Obama’s bases are covered, everything is well-hidden and white-washed. He is in for life because this is the plan, and the morons go into the voting booths.
Uneven?
To a man cave dweller and cohorts, perhaps.
I do not read this forum to be exposed to offensive comments about disgusting bodily functions and worse, in lieu of logical arguments.
Talk about being on the fence.
why would you encourage, now there’s more disgusting talk.
Take over the forum with it, go ahead, it’s not for me to decide.
But it is a take over, because it is unacceptable.
Nice job, plant. You got in another dig at the Republicans. Which party controls the Executive Branch of our government? Why, that would be the Democrats. You’ve been smoked out for what you are.
Whatever.
Something’s happened to your link. It says the document doesn’t exist on thqt server.
Who signed the Patriot Act that contained this massive NSA intrusion into our privacy?
Which political party controlled congress when it was passed?
Who’s been out front defending this constitution busting activity? Rove, McCain, Graham, Rubio.
Are they all democrats now?
Both parties have their nasty little fingers in this.
Which will never be properly investigated or publicized, because (as I stated on another thread) everyone fears the R word more than they love the truth.
BHO Columbia? Ping
That's why I used the word would and finished the sentence with "but that would be a waste a JimRob's bandwidth". I KNOW it won't happen.
Which party allows it, allows it to go on. Doesn’t do a thing to oppose a thing, works with the senate to assist in allowing and lying about illegal immigration, hasn’t done anything of worth to oppose it?
The few democrats in the house minor minority worked to no end to bring down Nixon.
I am not any kind of a democrat, so enough with the slander and disgusting talk of bodily functions, enabled by don-o or not.
Get away from me
Professor Graff is unlikely to survive the week.
Mark my words.
