My life has crossed paths with President Obama on multiple occasions. According to Obama, we were Columbia University classmates, both Pre Law and Political Science majors in the Class of ’83. I also ran against Obama in 2008 on the Libertarian Party Presidential ticket. What are the odds?
But something about “the Obama at Columbia story” has always bothered me. Earlier in the week right here at The Blaze I wrote about having just returned from New York, where I attended my 30th Columbia University reunion. I celebrated with my esteemed classmates. Everyone except Barack Obama. As usual- he wasn’t there. Not a trace. Not a video greeting. Not a letter. I could not find any classmates who knew him.
I called Obama “the Ghost of Columbia University.” I pointed out (as I’ve said in the media for many years now) that Obama may have been registered at Columbia, may have graduated from Columbia, but he was rarely (if ever) seen for the two years in-between. It’s a strange, mysterious and frightening story.
Is he the real-life “Manchurian Candidate?” What explains Obama having just enough skeletal proof that he was there (one photo, one roommate, one professor, one friend)…but never seen in a class, never on anyone’s radar screen, almost invisible. A total 2-year blackout. It’s like a story straight out of a novel about the CIA or KGB. He graduated Columbia, but it’s almost as if he never went there.
To make matters more mysterious, Obama’s college records are sealed. He’s had plenty of opportunities to authorize the release, to clear the air. He has never chosen to do so. But why? What has he got to hide? Funny enough Obama has never had a problem ripping open the sealed records of his political opponents. Every step of his career Obama has beaten his opponents by having sealed documents just happen to be publicly exposed by anonymous sources. But not Obama. His records are always unavailable (and never leaked). Obama always seems to have powerful forces on his side.
Did he attend Columbia as a foreign student? That was the educated guess I made in my appearance on “Hannity” on Fox News a year ago. The only photo of Obama from his Columbia days was in his off-campus apartment with a roommate described by USA Today as a Pakistani national, pot smoker, and cocaine abuser. If you’re a foreign student, you live in housing off-campus with other foreign students.
That would also explain how he transferred to Columbia. Transferring into an Ivy League school is all but impossible. I did a little digging and found out only 3 transfer students in all of America were accepted into Columbia in the past academic year. Three students out of 315 million Americans. Yet those who knew Obama at Occidental called him a pot smoker and partier who rarely attended class. You’re telling me that a poor student, with that record, at an average college, was accepted for transfer into prestigious Columbia University? Only if he was an exotic Indonesian foreign student transferring into a college that desperately wanted to claim an ethnically and globally diverse student body.
Still that might explain how Obama got into Columbia. But where was he for those two years? My gut instincts say something is wrong with “the Obama at Columbia story.” Very wrong. Rancid.
But until now, I was the only one publicly voicing my suspicions. That just changed in a big way. Meet Professor Henry Graff, perhaps the most legendary and honored professor ever at Columbia University. He was THE American History and Diplomatic History professor at Columbia for 46 years. And he is more emphatic than yours truly that there are no Obama footprints at Columbia.
I was put on Professor Graff’s trail by another Columbia classmate, skeptical about Obama’s story. He told me that Professor Graff had been the speaker for the Class of ’53 last weekend at Columbia. My friend was watching Graff answer questions from the crowd when he was asked about Obama at Columbia. Graff said, “I have my doubts he ever went here.”
I did some digging and located Graff’s home phone number. I called him yesterday. Now retired, he was delighted to hear from me. He agreed to go on the record about Obama. Unlike Obama, Professor Graff clearly remembered me. He was thrilled to hear from his former student. I was in several of Graff’s classes and he remembered me like it was yesterday. He sounded great- like he hasn’t lost any of his trademark sharpness in 30 years since we last met.
I was honored to learn that this legendary historian has been following my political career for many years. But he had no such cheery things to say about the President. Graff said, “I taught at Columbia for 46 years. I taught every significant American politician that ever studied at Columbia. I know them all. I’m proud of them all. Between American History and Diplomatic History, one way or another, they all had to come through my classes. Not Obama. I never had a student with that name in any of my classes. I never met him, never saw him, never heard of him.”
Even more importantly, Professor Graff knew the other history and political science professors. “None of the other Columbia professors knew him either” said Graff.
Graff concluded our interview by saying, “I’m very upset by the whole story. I am angry when I hear Obama called ‘the first President of the United States from Columbia University.’ I don’t consider him a Columbia student. I have no idea what he did on the Columbia campus. No one knows him.”
There is something wrong with Obama’s story- I know that. Many of my classmates at last weekend’s 30th reunion knew that. Now the most beloved Professor ever at Columbia joins us in publicly questioning the story. Obama is either the ghost of Columbia, or the perfect Manchurian candidate. But something smells rotten at Columbia.
The 47 percent believe that they will get lots of free stuff.
The stuck on stupid ones will be shocked when the realize that healthcare is not free, etc.

thank you
I remember that rumor
Like everything lese it doesn’t matter now
EXCEPT if it can be proved he went as a foreign student
and even then I doubt media would care
They’re tired of playing this game and want to play another. Ever watched a kid knock down a sandcastle? At base, it’s that banal.
Then, you have envy and covetousness as motivation further down the line. There are many in the world who want what we have, while failing to appreciate the basis of it.
Divvying up the spoils is what appears to be occurring to me, with enough plausible deniability to continue implementation without the populace getting aroused enough to stop it while that’s still possible.
I am in 100% agreement with you and have been for a long time. During the last election cycle, I repeatedly said that I hoped 2012 would become a referendum on the media. But alas, it only made them stronger and bolder. When Candy Crowley joined Obama in a set up gotcha moment during a national televised debate and was not drummed out of the business I knew that we are in a hole we will probably never climb out of.
I've been working on ideas to fight this condition for well over a year and although I've contacted numerous high profile people and organizations, there is no interest in taking the fight to them. Not even with the Tea Party.
We try to do our best, we cannot read every comment. You are quite heavy handed on the abuse button though. It's annoying.
Bill Clinton would have gone out of his way to get to know someone like Graff and so would a lot of ambitious students in his era and before.
Obama was more withdrawn and stand-offish, and his interests probably ran more to third world questions than to US diplomatic history.
In shunning the old White guys, Obama would have been representative of a later generation of college radicals.
It's a bit strange, though: at Harvard Obama did cultivate connections to the faculty bigwigs. Maybe he was older, more confident, and more motivated.
Theories aside -- Obama double, complete fraud, etc. -- I wonder if he took night classes or transferred credits from another branch of the university or another institution.
Zero hasn't closed all the doors and windows that he thought he had. While he went around spending upwards of $2 Million to seal HIS vital records, he left other avenues open to public view.
Currently, these windows have included public records pertaining to his father, his mother, his grandmother and now, his "classmates and professor" at Columbia. The more of these records that are discovered and the more people speak up such as the Columbia Poli Sci prof, the more smoke is generated. And, with smoke, there is eventually fire.
Zero has only 10 fingers and 10 toes and can only plug so many holes in the dike. Even one of his senior advisors, David Axelrod, has acknowledged that the government is too big. Right now, they are offering up small fry to take the fall for Obama. But, sooner or later, one of them will refuse to "take one for the team" and will tell how many bodies there are between him and Obama. People like to talk and people have strong survival instincts.
It's only a matter of time. Meanwhile, zero feels the walls closing in on him.
Now, in order for Mansour’s denial (about not funding/sponsering/promoting Obama's entry into Harvard) to be true, Jarrett would have had to make up his direct quote out of whole cloth. Given Jarrett’s status as a columnist and community leader, this may strike many as unlikely, which raises the question of whether there really is something Mansour is hiding, and if so, why he’s hiding it. Is he simply seeking to terminate all references to a connection that didn’t exist, however distant those references might be?
And if so, then why is Mansour allowing other outlets to include his connection to Obama in his biography, as though that connection is settled fact? That’s certainly the case in this press release from the Jamaican University of Technology (emphasis added):
Renowned global speaker, Muslim Lawyer, black nationalist and author, Dr. Khalid Abdullah Tariq Al-Mansour is scheduled to deliver the UTech Distinguished Lecture on Thursday, September 27, 2012 at 5:30 pm at the Wyndham Kingston Hotel. He will speak on the intriguing topic: “World Opportunities for Wealthcreation – WOW!”
Al-Mansour who made news in 2008 when it was revealed that he had been a patron of Barack Obama and had recommended him for admission to Harvard Law School in 1998, is co-founder of the International law firm of Al-Waleed, Al-Talal and Al-Mansour and Special Advisor to Saudi Arabian Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulazziz. from that article in the Blaze.
I hope so; I truly want him and that whole hate-America, marxist, racist cabal to go down HARD!
They want to be rulers of the WHOLE WORLD. America is an impediment to the globalists.
“His college years were bought and paid for by Muzzies, IMO. That’s how he financed his education and had strings pulled to get into high prestige colleges. All this info has been either scrubbed or hidden from the public by the Universities he allegedly attended. Including his college transcripts, which would give us so much info, including whether he was a foreign student.”
None of this explains why two major professors in Obama’s supposed field of study/major never heard of him. You can scrub transcripts but you can’t scrub profs’ memories. Ditto his supposed fellow classmates. If Obama was there, why doesn’t anyone remember him?
I used to think he lived off campus & choomed his way through Columbia. That scenario doesn’t acct for his total anonymity, however. At least some notable prof, other than the leftist stooge, wd recall him. ‘Obama’ is not an everyday name. If he’d been there, someone wd have stepped forward to confirm it by now.
Is your FRmail broken? I report abuse on violations of board rules - almost always use of the F word. The comments I report on are almost always taken down. What is your problem?
good post -— thanks
On the bright side, we all can put Columbia on our resume, and say we too graduated. Just ask the president, he’ll tell you.
Obama spent the six years between 1979 and 1985 at Occidental College in Los Angeles and then in New York at Columbia University and in the workplace.
So, did he and his sponsors simply flip-flop references and influence between “Columbia University” and “Columbia College” ? Only one is the Ivy-League school “everybody” knows of and many respect. The other is worth less than city-college level paper-printed diploma.
IMHO it will take more than just our currently elected ones; they need to hear VERY LOUDLY from we the people, so loudly that they cannot ignore it. Mass street protests? Massive nation wide strikes? Truckers blocking access to this and that? Huge numbers of whistleblowers from every gov agency and department? Many in the MSM waking up and smelling the gangrene? I don't know. I do know that our political "system", if you will, is a broken, rotting corpse. And massive election fraud wrecks the results. Perhaps the corpse can be re-animated. Think of this quote from my profile page:
“In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.”
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956
I agree.
I suspect his last year’s will be thoroughly embarrassing, to the point he might consider resigning.
I hope you followed that up with what is Mr. Congressman doing about those SEVEN SS#s.
Maybe he was working at Columbia records, the membership deal.

I wasn’t trying to explain why he was incognito as a student while attending the University. I was adding to the discourse that I believe Obama’s college career was financed by Muzzies, especially at Harvard. As to his attendance at classes, that is the great unknown. How could he graduate without attending classes? A great mystery. But anyone with half a brain knows that Obama attended college as a foreign student, not as an American. That is why all of his transcripts are kept hidden by willing liberal college administrators. Hopefully the lid will be blown off about our Muzzie Prez after he is out of office. It won’t happen before then.
