locally, that is in fact true. They in their exuberance let their guard and caution down.
I’m not sure about Occidental but nobody recalls him from Columbia.
I can tell you that I was a political Science major at FSU and there is a core curriculum that is taught by just 2-3 professors. Everybody has to take these courses. I would have known maybe not by name but by face probably everyone that was in Poly Sci at some point and I am sure the profs knew us. Especially during that time period there were very few African American students. Barack Obama would have stood out like a sore thumb.

The point of O grandmother being the Vice President of Bank of Hawaii in the 1960’s has also been lost on most.
That’s a huge accomplishment for any women but in 1960’s I would say it is unprecedented.
From what I see it all lead back to the banks, and drug money laundering. The cartels are in charge and they are bankers.

“...Obama would have stood out like a sore thumb.”
Ha! Absolutely-especially IF he was the wiz-kid, genius he claims he is. Professors do recall kids like THAT.
BTW-I will go to my grave with the certainty that professors at MY college remember me VERY well!
Obama has a history at Occidental, some fingerprints can be found there, with references to numerous people who knew him, unlike Columbia. It is likely that Obama went Occidental with a scholarship under fraudulent conditions.
Columbia is a different story.There is ONE guy who says he knew Obama from Columbia, but he is a writer by profession, and has pictures of a young Obama? An entire NY Times article was conveniently written in 2009 about the one guy who says he was Obama’s “roomate”, Phil Boener, who had memories of Obama in Columbia having sleeping bag when it was cold.
Same here. I remember lots of people from college and especially those in core classes, in the dorms, in my major, in social/sports organizations and had friends outside those circles. I kept in contact with some for years after. Invited them to my wedding and me to theirs. All these years later, every once in a while a classmate calls out of the blue or yells my name across a crowded mall (yes, that was one of the handful of black students). Years later, I had to deliver a death notification to a star athlete whom we knew each other by face but it seemed the connection helped. One of my profs turned out to be an old college friend of my mother’s so there’s always weird connections of rememberances. One prof thought he’d take a female student on a weekend rendevous to a little out of the way place a hundred miles away so you can imagine his face when I ended up in the same check out line as them. I remember everyone in my HS class and many in above and below classes. I also remember people in elementary and jr. high and could probably tell a story about them from back when if they ever become famous.
But very few people in this clown’s life, especially after Punahau’s choom gang and until his arranged marriage with Moo remember Mr. Transparency. The Dark Years. Strange how we lowly little peons are well remembered but not so with the almighty King Obama.

Funny how in that whole fru-fru article of two guys visiting museums, taking long Sunday walks and listening to the silence of the snow in the park, there isn’t one mention of him attending class.
Wonder if roommate Boerner’s grandpa, William Lytton Payne, had any connection with Soetoro’s typical white granny Payne? I didn’t see anything with a quick search but there isn’t much family tree info on William. Just thought it was interesting.
He didn’t attend any classes at all in Columbia his “junior year” because he was on the other side of the globe helping Prof. Brzezinski set up Al-Qaeda in Af-Pak. A deal had been cut and the skids had been greased to get him a diploma. Any classes he was registered in his senior year would have been pass/fail or audits that he just attended when he felt like it.
that’s not Ann Dunham!
Yes I agree. My graduating class in HS was around 550 and I knew every one of them if not personally then by sight. I went to my reunion a few years ago and I still remembered almost everybody and they remembered me which was a shock. LOL!
... that photograph is one of a series sent to a Brisbane (Australia) academic by (he says) an anonymous genealogist friend of his from the US, who maintained the model looked like Stanley Ann Dunham. It's not Stanley Ann Dunham. The photographs of the model appeared in exotic magazines in 1958, when Stanley Ann was still attending high school on the mainland and had never laid eyes on Frank Marshall Davis, a man who was older than her own father.
You forgot something. There's no evidence that Stanley Ann Dunham was his mother, according to Zullo. She showed up in Hawaii in 1963 after she had changed her name to Ann Dunham Obama in January.
