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 understand the school won’t release any information, citing privacy issues.
Of course, the ONE could release them himself, but why bother.
IMHO, he probably went to Occidental as a "foreign student." After Oxy, he had no need for "assistance," as he was already subsidized by the Chicago guys.
he's definitely hiding something
Thanks to Leo Donofrio's work in Hawaii, using the Hawaiian version of FOIA, the BC issue just may be cleared up soon. All that is known so far is that Hawaii has the records, they have been amended, Hawaiian Law compels their release to "anyone," and that the Hawaiian Department of Health and the Hawaiian Attorney General are stonewalling.
Pardon me, and thanks for the correction. What pre-requisites did you have under your academic belt before you were registered for the course?
Unfortunately, we are never to know whether BHO, Jr.was in any of those classes.
He, and Terri K before him (Miss Tickly on this site, who started using the law against stonewalling Hawaiian officaldom) post on
http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com which links to other blogs.
Their upcoming efforts in the Hawaiian courts to force state officials to follow their state's own laws should be interesting.
BTW, once BHO, Jr. posted the notorious COLB on the web, he legally waived all rights to privacy of the records behind that document. Stone Wall.

I was a poly sci major. Beyond that — none that I recall except for maybe some intro & mid level undergrad poly sci courses.
Well, I just hope that by the time Hawaii does have to FINALLY provide Hussein’s ORGINAL BC that it hasn’t mysteriously “disappeared”...
Team Obama has absolutely succeeded in confusing "Native-Born," with "Natural Born." Of course, no one can even state with certainty that he is "Native Born," which is why the BC is necessary. We do know that it has been "amended." We don't know how, and under Hawaiian Law, we have the right to know.
But, not one elected Republican with whom I have been in contact will look into any of this! If you go on Donofrio's blog, you'll see the lame statements garnered from Republican Senators and Congressmen, in which they... THEY... conflate "Native" and "Natural!" They ...THEY ... also conflate the infamous COLB with a Hawaiian Long Form Birth Certificate.
This eligibility issue is bi-partisan, with both sides of the aisle taking an anti-constitutional position. Maddening.
BTTT
What you don't know about Elle Woods (Legally Blond 2001)?
That is the most revolting, syrupy sweet crock of crap I’ve read yet. I can’t believe you actually posted that link... wait, yes I can. It’s exactly what you would post.
