Obama transferred from Occidental College to Columbia University in 1981.
According to the New York Times, Obama "suggests in his book that his years in New York were a pivotal period: He ran three miles a day, buckled down to work and 'stopped getting high,' which he says he had started doing in high school.
Yet he declined repeated requests to talk about his New York years, release his Columbia transcript or identify even a single fellow student, co-worker, roommate or friend from those years."
Campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt told the newspaper in October 2007, "He doesnt remember the names of a lot of people in his life."
Obama claimed to be a part of the Black Student Organization and anti-apartheid activities. But according to the New York Times, several well-known student leaders did not recall his involvement.
Fox News made contact with 400 of Obama's classmates. No one remembered him.
The Columbia University chapter in Obama's life remains blank, according to the New York Sun.
"The Obama campaign has refused to release his college transcript, despite an academic career that led him to Harvard Law School and, later, to a lecturing position at the University of Chicago," the Sun reported in September 2008.
"The shroud surrounding his experience at Columbia contrasts with that of other major party nominees since 2000, all whom have eventually released information about their college performance or seen it leaked to the public."
According to the New York Sun, a program from Columbia's 1983 commencement ceremony lists Obama as a graduate. University spokesman Brian Connolly confirmed that Obama graduated with a major in political science but without honors. Nonetheless, he was later admitted to Harvard Law School.

"One person who did remember Mr. Obama was Michael L. Baron, who taught a senior seminar on international politics and American policy. Mr. Baron, now president of an electronics company in Florida, said he was Mr. Obamas adviser on the senior thesis for that course. Mr. Baron, who later wrote Mr. Obama a recommendation for Harvard Law School, gave him an A in the course. . . . Michael J. Wolf, who took the seminar with him and went on to become president of MTV Networks, said: He was very smart. He had a broad sense of international politics and international relations. It was a class with a lot of debate. He was a very, very active participant. I think he was truly distinctive from the other people in that class. He stood out.
You’re joking, Right?
Seriously if this photo has been manipulated to change how he appears in it, from slob to ubersnob I think it needs to be exposed.
And what is it with the fact that all their heads are cut off by the camera angle (or cropped out of the picture) some sort of mass hypnotic suggestion to Muslims that all Americans should be beheaded at the feet of the Obama?
Bizarre....

My daughter thinks they look like very mean people. She says she feels sorry for their kids if they really are that way. She hopes their Grandma is nicer than their parents look...
Thank you for the ping, Lucy! I appreciate it. :)
The 0bama’s animus is probably not at all directed at their children.
They are angry people, but their poisonous enmity is just for White People and America, not their children.
Yeah. My baby does rasberries at the TV when he comes on. (I taught her to do that.) She’s smart though. Probably would have learned to do it herself if she was a tad older.
It’s really hard to find a candid pic with either of them smiling. 0 flashes the Denzell thing when he’s “on.” And his wife, lord ha’ mercy! Even when she smiles, you can hardly tell. She looks like she’s snarling.
Morningside Heights ping!
I think it would be very interesting, really. I would think they would keep to themselves pretty much. None would really know their names even if they took large lecture courses and such... You’d think someone would remember a kid that LOOKED like him...
Frankly, I’ve always thought those pictures of him supposedly during that time looked like he had a “Cuban Accent” to his clothing and style... Who knows. As someone else mentioned, it could be made up out of whole cloth for all we know. Maybe he was in Cuba, and Fidel sent him to NY, and then on to Chicago with Bill Ayers as well, Fidel’s other “friend” here in the US.
It’s her “bigfoot heritage”...
I like your "Strike the heads of the Infidel," scenario, but I think that it's for the same reason that a killer cuts off the head of a corpse: to hide their identity.
And...you know that I never kid about Obama and Photoshop. Geez, we've got a ton of Photoshopped photos of ZERO, now, don't we?
Er...what face? What head? I do see a chin with a black goatee, though.
Either all the people that have met Barry are either too intimidated by previous encounters with Obamas legitimacy brigades or have been bought off to keep silent and out of the spotlight.
Its time to canvass all possible close encounters of Barry’s history and start counting the bodies.
Barry has been nothing but a designed tool, an object able to take advantage off loopholes in the system and to exploit them, the ultimate goal being placed as high as possible in the US political system. I suspect his groomers were hoping for the best and were totally unprepared to see Barry go all the way.
In order for Barry to continue his reign on America ALL that came into close contact with him will eventually have to be eliminated.
So if you were close to Barry I suggest getting some good life insurance or move to a really remote location because YOU are a weak link to the supreme leader.

May want to save it.
No, I would be scared for my life
However, bottom line, is not enough people care about his Muslim faith, his Marxist beliefs, etc to make a difference
Yet, not until it hits them in the wallet will they care
There’s got to be, just has to be ONE professor, ONE secretary, somebody that would remember him.
I worked in academia. Let me tell you, the folks I worked with remember most everybody, especially the students. I’d bet the farm 1 professor or secretary would at least remember a student with such an, ahem, ‘unique’ sounding name...unless he was enrolled under a different name, which I think is probable.
This just arrived in my mailbox:
Photoshop? Paint by number? Is this a lost bro’ from the Jackson Five? It is suggested you look through a magnifier with all his photographs.
The toddler at the fence photo of the TOTUS-child looks like he may have suffered from that same white skin pigmentation disease that Michael Jackson claims to have.

The left cheek is like a paint-by-number picture and the eyebrow, that thing floating on his forehead, is too large and off-center. The right cheek edge is oddly sharp on the photograph. One more photoshop to add to the pile??
Or could there be a missing link from the Jackson Five? Was it actually the Jackson 6? Maybe that’s the big secret with the BC.
Dark skin neck and chin. If goatee, neck is still dark skin. If goatee, why the reflection. And if goatee, possible muslim?
