Thread: Did BHO attend Columbia?

While looking for results from today, I found this comment at the Wall Street Journal Law Blog.

An interesting article appeared yesterday at Unqualified Reservations, “Did Barack Obama Go to Columbia?“.

Interesting because it speculates that the reason the Obama campaign has not released his Columbia records is–that Barack Obama didn’t really attend Columbia.

Far-fetched?

Perhaps, but not as far-fetched as a candidate getting this far in the political process without the press issuing its normal calls to see his records.

My question is: was Barack Obama ever a student at Columbia? Because here’s how one scurrilous compendium of racist smears puts it:
Obama graduated from Columbia College in 1983, and after spending a year in New York, moved to Chicago.

Wayne Allyn Root says, “I don’t know a single person at Columbia that knows 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.

Questioner: Were you the exact same class?

Root: Class of ‘83 political science, pre-law Columbia University. You don’t get more exact 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, 20th reunion, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! Who was he, 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…

When asked about his undergraduate training at Columbia University, The New Times states that Obama “declined repeated requests to talk about his New York years, release his Columbia transcript or identify even a single fellow student, co-worker, roommate or friend from those years.â€

Based on this I would have to say Obama is a product of the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderbergers, who control the press. Having kept these probably negative aspects out of public sight, they control Obama. If Obama doesn't do what they want they will release all those records, and he will be powerless.

Someone said that the reason he won't release any info on his Colombia years is because he received funding as a foreign student

I can believe it. But can you believe how large this conspiracy is that covers up Obama's past? This is way bigger than the JFK asassination conspiracy.

I would agree that he doesn't want anyone seeing any of his college records due to his foreign student status and aid. Heck, he even had all of his elementary school records sealed....albeit after that cat got out of it's bag although what other damning evidence there might be that he was able to slam the lid on is anyone's guess.

But what's suspicious about Colombia is that NO ONE so much as remembers him being there, nor is there any other shred of evidence of his ever having been there and this would be highly unusual, especially if he was as involved in on campus clubs, activities, etc. as he claims to have been.
