Obama Hasn’t Changed Since Columbia University
The Blaze ^ | March 17, 2014 | Wayne Allyn Root

Posted on 03/17/2014 12:54:20 PM PDT by upbeat5

I told you so. Thirty years ago Obama, my Columbia University Class of ’83 classmate, was rarely seen. Thirty years later he can’t be bothered to attend national security meetings about a crisis that could lead to World War III. Some things never change.

You might ask, “What do Obama’s college days have to do with his Presidency today?”

The answer is everything. By college, a person’s personality, attitude and behavior is usually fairly well set. That’s why Obama’s Columbia days tells us so much about his behavior as President today.

What do I know about Obama at Columbia? Nothing. I never met him. As I’ve reported countless times, I was a political science major and Pre-Law at Columbia from 1979-1983. Even though I thought I knew everyone in the political science department, neither I nor any of my friends at Columbia ever met, or saw Obama there.

Yes, I have to slap both of my older sisters!

I amazes me that we know more about Lee Harvey Oswald and John Hinkley than we know about Obama.

Someone is hiding something.

This article assumes he actually went to Columbia U.

"scary" is right. Having the man piddling around with foreign internal politics, something that would infuriate any conscious American if the shoe were on the other foot, while constantly stepping out on the back porch to play, exhausts the nation with lost sleep.

I think a rival nation could drop an anvil on John Q. Public's foot, right now, and he wouldn't look up from his Ipad.

Maybe, but Obama was President of the Harvard Review not Editor. President is essentially a political choice made by fellow students while being editor meant you earned it.

No one remembers him from either Occidental or Columbia.

There were several in the Dem party who signed off on the forms that Obama was qualified to be Pres after the Denver convention. I would not want to be them.

He’s almost “The Man Who Never Was” but he does exist. The question is who created him as a political entity. Look into the Communist Party of Illinois and you’ll find many answers (Canter, Davis, Young) and their supporters (Danny Davis, Rose, Washington, Palmer, Cohen) and the old SDS remnants who formed Progressives for Obama, etc. (Kissinger, the Booths, Jones, Dohrn, Ayers, Katz, Drehier, and Mike from the Revolutionary Communist Party).

It’s all there. Only some documents are missing.

That is how we got Jimmy Carter.

He was a "nuclear physicist" like Obama was a "constitutional law professor."...

As I remember it, the first statement was a mistake that the press made early on. It was established that Carter did qualify as a nuclear engineer. Of course, Obama obviously was not a qualified law professor.

It’s really scary that this empty suit, this man puppet with a fabricated past, was selected installed as our president.

imho

Well, sorta. Kinda the same way an train driver is an "engineer." He was trained how to operate and maintain the reactor on a sub. Not great at it, apparently.

BTW, Admiral Hyman Rickover, the guy who got us into nukes for the Navy, thought Carter was a complete idiot. Took him in the program for political reasons ... Sam Nunn.

Or maybe 58 states.
Could be the source of the over 100% votes.

“Obama is just lazy & uninterested in the job of being President.
Pampered as a foreign student and affirmative action poster boy, never being told ‘no’, praised for having zero accomplishments.

Even as the token First Black Harvard Law Review President, he was unaccomplished and uninterested in the position or duties.

Never worked a hard day in his life, politics was the perfect venue for him and handlers from Chicago.”

Obama has turned back the clock in the breaking of stereotypical notions.
