Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but none remembered him.
Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who also graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me.
I don't have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia. Ever! Nobody recalls him. I'm not exaggerating, I'm not kidding." Root adds that he was also, like Obama, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that. Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him.
At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me.
No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York, the macha who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him. Is that not strange?
It's very strange." Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia, provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia.

NOTE: Root graduated as Valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School, then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major (in the same class as President Barack Obama WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN IN)
I don’t personally keep photos. But I’m sure you could find it yourself online somewhere and have a gander.
If Obama is gay, and this would afirm that, then the photo would never appear publicly. It is a photoshopped depiction.
Got a lot of couch on which obama could rest a normal ass. Sadik - how is that pronounced?
Did you read post #332? I had wondered about this before.
Vague recollections about Columbia from classmates & from Obama. Doubt a gay lifestyle alone would cause the veil of mystery. Best best is still very radical ties, but what about CIA?
From the 1997 Columbia U. alumni directory:
Obama, Barack Hussein, CC ‘83 BA, 1617 S. Beretania #1008, Honolulu, HI 96828

see post 377 ring on his finger
Hawaii? Do we know whose address that is? Stanley Ann?
I have one, and he's in it. There is also an article by him in the college magazine from 1983 decrying the deployment of pershing missiles in Europe. I don't doubt he has the paper from Columbia. I just doubt that he was part of the normal campus system.
============================================== Was the name Obama or Soetoro?
See my post #367

Hmm...I’ve seen lots of men sit with their legs crossed, and I definitely knew they all weren’t homosexuals.
As for me, I never sit with my legs crossed.It’s extremely uncomfortable for me due to a knee problem. That does not however make me a ‘secret’ man! LOL ;-o
Whoops!:
Illinois State Senate records
Illinois State Senate schedule
I was on stairmaster while typing a typo. How typical.
Obama’s grandmother Madelyn Dunham’s address
From what I’ve read and photos shown, he wore a wedding ring years before he was married. People here have said that at that time - 80s - homosexuals often wore wedding rings.
