5) Interviewed professors, college employees, students (who were at Columbia during the years in question) have failed to turn up a single person that can remember Obama. This is irrefutable evidence. Think about your own situation if Obama had attended your college? A “now-famous” person went to your school? Many would be able to say, “of course I remember.” At Columbia, not a single person has been able to say he or she remembers Obama.

Yes, but, Bill and Hillary Clinton were so nondescript at Yale Law School that Professor Bork never knew they were in his class. They made no impression on Bork, but did they impress the American people!

This doesn’t pass the smell test.

That is just a wrong statement and this is a ridiculous waste-of-time conspiracy theory.

It is not unusual for a third-year transfer student to be remembered by few of his classmates, especially if they do not live in college housing. College students often tend to associate with people they meet in their freshman year. But there are classmates, roommates, and at least one professor who have come forward to say that they remember Obama.

Obama's roommates have remembered him including one who published his recollections in a Columbia alumni magazine. This roommate transferred with Obama from Occidental.

"Obama's professors and classmates, including former international politics professor Michael Baron and current MTV president Michael Wolf, confirm that he was a brilliant, standout student and that he was an active participant in seminars." - WikiCU - "The Columbia University wiki encyclopedia"

Obviously Obama could not publicly claim to have gone to Columbia and not have anyone in the Columbia administration shoot down this claim in all the years since his book was first published, if it were not true. In fact Columbia has confirmed that Obama was there just when he says.

Whose word am I going to believe, that of Columbia University or an ex-felon like Pastor Manning?

Won't half of them say they knew him, even if they didn't? I work with a guy who knew Bill Gates at Harvard (same major, actually). He claims Gates was the most money-hungry person he ever knew.
