Obama Hasn’t Changed Since Columbia University
The Blaze ^ | March 17, 2014 | Wayne Allyn Root

Posted on 03/17/2014 12:54:20 PM PDT by upbeat5

I told you so. Thirty years ago Obama, my Columbia University Class of ’83 classmate, was rarely seen. Thirty years later he can’t be bothered to attend national security meetings about a crisis that could lead to World War III. Some things never change.

You might ask, “What do Obama’s college days have to do with his Presidency today?”

The answer is everything. By college, a person’s personality, attitude and behavior is usually fairly well set. That’s why Obama’s Columbia days tells us so much about his behavior as President today.

What do I know about Obama at Columbia? Nothing. I never met him. As I’ve reported countless times, I was a political science major and Pre-Law at Columbia from 1979-1983. Even though I thought I knew everyone in the political science department, neither I nor any of my friends at Columbia ever met, or saw Obama there.

Yes Reggie is attending Wharton these days, and I’m sure has a fair amount of free time himself.

I keep hoping that Reggie will have a run in with the law that exposes his “lifestyle”. It would be a nice way to connect the dots back to Obama.

Well, you and I have never communicated before, so I can easily forgive your ignorance of my ground-breaking genetic research.

Barry is actually,

Le Dauphin Perdu
de la Belle France.

That, plus certain irregularities in the Louisiana Purchase, make the man our King. This conversation is closed.

You and about everyone else who went to Columbia at that time. But let's just ignore all that because Obama is "The One".

A Democrat I know voted for him because Obama was completely out of the mainstream of politics — could “think outside of the box”! His lack of experience would lead him to new and wonderful solutions for the problems in the USA. I pointed out that I had never had any political experience, either, nor run any big important enterprise. All I ever did was vote. Did that mean I’d make a great president full of wonderful new ideas and solutions? He kinda hemmed and hawed, didn’t answer. Just gave me a sickly smile. It was the dopiest explanation ever for voting (TWICE) for the guy that I’ve ever heard so far... I bet no Freeper ever heard a dumber one than that.

You never do get rumors right, do you.

Reggie actually came down with Genital Whartons, which are being treated at the U of P Med School. His dedicated seat on AF 1 is being fumigated as we speak.

When the media is happy to play sock puppet for one party, you can fool almost everyone all the time.

The Big Lie technique really works: people are conditioned not to violate accepted social norms, even if those norms include professions of manifest falsehoods.

Every right-thinking Aztec knew that "science" proved the sun would not rise without a daily feast of still beating human hearts ripped from chests.

A majority of voters knew in 2008 and 2012 that Barack Obama was "the right man for the job."

There is an attorney and Conservative commentator named Carol Platt Liebau who became Editor of Harvard Law Review the year after young Barry Obama had the job.

She has said in interviews (very diplomatically) that her desk was overflowing with work, mainly because her predecessor hadn’t done jack.

Hasn’t changed since college, you say?

That is how we got Jimmy Carter.

He was a "nuclear physicist," like Obama was a "constitutional law professor," and, not being a typical politician, he was supposed to be able to provide real world solutions to the country's problems.

People may have said something similar about Herbert Hoover, "the Great Engineer," but at least he had years of cabinet experience.

Obama is just lazy & uninterested in the job of being President.

Pampered as a foreign student and affirmative action poster boy, never being told 'no', praised for having zero accomplishments.

Even as the token First Black Harvard Law Review President, he was unaccomplished and uninterested in the position or duties.

Never worked a hard day in his life, politics was the perfect venue for him and handlers from Chicago.

Obama reminds me of Joseph Smith founder of Mormonism. Nobody knew his past either, there was a book written about it, “No Man Knows My History.”

What colleges had studies abroad during Obama’s tenure as a student? I remember in 1986 I went to another college for a semester. my courses transferred back to the original college. This maybe how Obama graduated from Columbia without anyone every seeing him attend. he received special status by a generous benefactors donation and attended across the water for more than a semester at a time. Obama’s work ethic he has none!

I agree with you. Foreign students can get away with some pretty bad grades, even worse than US affirmative action kids.

Plus, his first publishing house thought he was a foreigner and publicized that as a fact.

It would have been very difficult to remember him, he was the one sitting in the “Empty Chair”!
