I believe he was there (I graduated in ‘82). But it’s possible to attend the school and be a complete no-show on campus, if you have the right connections. I wouldn’t be surprised if his handlers, including Bill Ayers, cooked up a special program for him where he attended off-campus sessions for credit.

The neighborhood around Columbia is typical urban congestion, most of it owned by the university, and I could easily see someone living off-campus, getting indoctrinated by his handlers, and being just “present” enough to fulfill requirements without being “contaminated” by other students.

The campus protester were amateurs and wannabes. Obama and his handlers at Columbia were the real thing.

Mr. Root is a little flaky himself. Here is the original article from which this blurb was extracted.

They should ask if they knew a Barry Sotoero.

Poll 500 random members of my college class I doubt many if any at all would remember me either. I don’t even guarantee I’m in the yearbook. Never picked one up to check.

I lived off campus and was indifferent about the things that grab peer attention. Not everybody is a rah rah in everybodys face type.

Wasn’t it while he was attending Columbia that he spent one summer in Pakistan with his Muslim room mate? I always wondered what nationality he had on his passport? I had read that all his room mates at Columbia were Muslim, which was strange...

I suppose the question should have been “Did you ever buy grass from this guy?”

I have always said that there should be hoards of former classmates that would remember him, “Hey I remember when we had English Lit together, who’d have thought he’d be president one day!”. I mean, he’s Mr. Popular, right?

Nope, no friends (this guy has no friends, where are they?), no background, h*!!, we can’t even find out what hospital this guy was born in, or country, or wonderful articles written while editor, or term papers or transcripts, nothing. This guy is a FRAUD.

Everyone in the GOP is AFRAID to ask legitimate questions, oh no, we can’t do that, but we’ll stand up for our constituents, yeah, send some $$, we’ll stand up for you for sure!!

Google:

No results found for “I went to Columbia with Barack”

No results found for “I attended Columbia with Barack”

No results found for “I attended Columbia with Obama”

“I went to Columbia with Obama” does yield three results, but one of them is asking why nobody ever says this and one is basing it on the years attended but appears to say that they don’t remember him. The third is a HuffPost commenter who thinks Obama isn’t very bright.

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.

Correct me if I'm wrong but every person that Mr. Root knew at Columbia would also know him in return? Isn't that how it's supposed to work?

Is Columbia a private school or do they operate on our $$?? Lets see the transcripts.

My guess is that he nevrer actually went to “Columbia University,” but rather, he went to “Columbia College.” Columbia Colege is technically part of Columbia University, but is geared to students who do not fit the traditional mold. Many of them are older or come from impoverished or challenged backgrounds, and may not meet the standards that one would normally associate with the Ivy League.

Interesting, not conclusive. I doubt anybody would remember me at Furman - I didn’t socialize there. Hell, I don’t remember anybody from Furman, except a few teachers.

This past Saturday was Homecoming up at Columbia’s Baker Field. What? The President missed it, again? I’m sure he was there in spirit . . . you know, so many recalling the good times they shared with him back in the day. /s
