B.O. can't name one fellow student at Columbia

[SHTSPRAYER]

It is already known that nobody has stepped forward to vouch for witnessing or being connected to Mr. Obama’s birth as alleged to have been in some Hawaiian hospital. And now it appears that nobody seems to remember their fellow classmate at Columbia University.

The Anti-Mullah blog posted this story last Sunday; I did some further research to find out from whence they pulled much of the verbiage in their posting.

First, Reason.com posted an article back in September, 2008 in which they interviewed the Libertarian Party Vice Presidential candidate, Wayne Allen Root (poignantly excerpted quotes):

Root is no fan of the Democratic nominee: “A vote for Obama is four years of Karl Marx, and no one should be happy about that,” he told us and a few genial young libertarian activists over cocktails. “He’s a communist! I don’t care what anybody says. The guy’s a communist…. And his mother was a card-carrying communist, and he says she’s the most important person in his entire life; he learned everything from her.”

But the thing Root really wanted to talk about was Obama’s grades. Specifically, he was willing to bet a million dollars that he earned a better grade point average at Columbia than his old classmate, and that the only reason Obama went on to Harvard Law School was the color of his skin. …

“I think the most dangerous thing you should know about Barack Obama is that 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! … Where was Obama? He wasn’t an outgoing young man, no one ever heard of him. …

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.” …

There’s much more at the posting.

It also appears that The New York Times had interviewed Mr. Root during the next month:

Neither one knew their famous Columbia classmate, Barack Obama. “I’ve not only not met him,” Mr. Root said, “I’ve not met anybody who met him.”

Part of Anti-Mullah’s posting covered reporting on the part of Fox News (h/t NewsHounds, August, 2008, excerpted):

The FOX website released a collection of information about Obama to go along with their examination of his “character and conduct’. The choice of material pretty much illustrates the message they crafted in last night’s piece. …

Although time was spent exploring Obama’s community work in Chicago there was very little emphasis on his teaching career at the University of Chicago. Although viewers were informed that after interviewing 400 Columbia University graduates none of them knew Barack Obama when he attended, they didn’t bother to interview even one of his students about their experiences in Obama’s class. Wouldn’t that have provided insight into the candidates character?

The friendship with Sohale Siddiqi who he meant when he left home for the first time at 18 to attend Occidental College was made into a big deal during the documentary. They made a point to note that Obama visited Pakistan at age 20 to visit Siddiqi’s family. Then gravely explored Obama rooming with him in New York when he first got there alone, broke and homeless to go to Columbia. Obama had written about being forced to sleep on the streets for a few nights and waking up in an alley with a chicken pecking at him. FOX News managed to use it to connect Obama to the drug world with a claim from a New York City detective that the alley was located in a rough neighborhood run by Dominican drug lords.It’s doubtful that they were trying to stress that Obama’s poverty had put him in danger. The article about Obama and Saddiqi on the website is far more positive and objective than last night’s coverage.

Part of the last link in the above quote to The Seattle Times:

The Obama campaign declined to discuss Obama’s time at Columbia and his friendships in general. It won’t, for example, release his transcript or name his friends. It did, however, list five locations where Obama lived during his four years here: three on Manhattan’s Upper West Side and two in Brooklyn – one in Park Slope, the other in Brooklyn Heights. His memoir mentions two others on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

Naturally, there’s the question of Columbia’s yearbook. This question is more than fully covered by DBKP and further commentary over at FreeRepublic; both links are certainly worth investigating for more insights into next to no background on this President.

While part of the story is dealing with Mr. Obama’s presence at Columbia University, I would invite all of my readers to not miss the bigger point here:

There is clearly precious little evidence showing substantial bona fides for this President. And for someone who claims to want to operate within the realm of transparency, one could not be any more opaque.

You're ok with him lying about who he is and what he has done?

[cookster50]

Umm, the thread title does not match the article at all.

[BigRedChief]

You're ok with him lying about who he is and what he has done?So your saying he never attended Columbia? Never graduated? Whats your point?

[BigChiefFan]

You're ok with him lying about who he is and what he has done?NO, I'm not, but you act as if Bush and Cheney never lied or carried out false flag operations. I've yet, to see you call out the otherside, because you are BIASED and wear blinders. It's obvious, you have an agenda.

NO, I'm not, but you act as if Bush and Cheney never lied or carried out false flag operations. I've yet, to see you call out the otherside, because you are BIASED and wear blinders. It's obvious, you have an agenda.

What does Bush and Cheney have to do with Obama lying?

[BigChiefFan]

What does Bush and Cheney have to do with Obama lying?

Gee, maybe the TWO WARS that we are still in, might have a little to do with it. Meaning, their lies have implications, like DEATH and torture, but let's sweep that under the rug, shall we?

[wild1]

Did he go by a different name then?

[SHTSPRAYER]

So your saying he never attended Columbia? Never graduated? Whats your point?

Not without seeing the transcripts. The guy is a proven liar so I'm not going to take his word for it. He says he went to Columbia, ok how come at his class reunion not one alumni recalled ever seeing him at the school or having him in any classes?

[SHTSPRAYER]

Did he go by a different name then?

Excellent point, but the fact is, nobody recalled ever seeing him there (never mind knowing what his name was).

[jjjayb]

As usual, the libs point fingers at Bush to deflect away from the subject. Boy, call me surprised. :rolleyes:

[SHTSPRAYER]

He's not in the yearbook. Columbia couldn't find a picture of him at school.

What can be said with some certainty is that Mr. Obama lived off campus while at Columbia in 1981-83 and made few friends. Fox News contacted some 400 of his classmates and found no one who remembered him.

[BY1401]

Maybe he was a wallflower.

Who skipped a lot of classes.

[SHTSPRAYER]

I'm going to find out who the professors were in 1981-83, and call them all up and ask if any of them had him as a student.

I'm surprised nobody from MSNB or CNN did this yet.

LOL

[BigChiefFan]

9/11 was caused by Iraq isn't a big LIE? That has caused 100,000's of DEATHS, but yes, whether or not Obama attented a university or not, is the big ticket item, right?


I hate partisan politics, especially when it's trivial horse tripe, that attempts to divide and run cover for what is really treasonous acts.

[Sully]

ROFL

[SHTSPRAYER]

It's kind of odd that not one person who went to Columbia during the years that B.O. says he did, recalls him ever being there.

[BigChiefFan]

As usual, the libs point fingers at Bush to deflect away from the subject. Boy, call me surprised. :rolleyes:

Yea, because asking for accountabilty from BOTH PARTIES, must be a liberal quality?:rolleyes:

[SHTSPRAYER]

I understand why you don't want to talk about it, but it does seem odd.

[SHTSPRAYER]

Not one professor can say "Yes, he was one of my students".

?

[BigChiefFan]

I understand why you don't want to talk about it, but it does seem odd.
I find it trivial and irrelevant to his presidency.


Again, even IF it is a lie, how is it any worse than a lie that HAS CAUSED hundreds of thousands of deaths?

Now, maybe you will see my point, that you aren't concerned with justice, only partisan hackery.

[donkhater]

Forget partisan politics. Don't you guys see the weirdness in this?

Barack Obama, one of the MOST POPULAR PRESIDENT-ELECTS in recent memory, in this day and age of 24/7 information has not had a detailed life biography done on him by a news agency during his nearly 2-year candidacy and 10 months in office.

Given the ratings that a network would get for such a documentary, you'd think one would have been made by now, but instead....crickets.

[wild1]

Not one professor can say "Yes, he was one of my students".

?

Will the university release some of his records? That ought to suffice to at least prove he was there.

Dude, we get it. Bush was bad. I even agree with you. But does that mean that by default the country should elect anyone with a pulse, which seems to be the only meaningful accomplishment of Obama's? Ever?

[donkhater]

Will the university release some of his records? That ought to suffice to at least prove he was there.

No, Obama is currently blocking their release. The law firm that represents the president employs the husband of Anita Dunn, the official who recently picked a fight with Fox over asking questions about the Obama administration.

Gotta love Chicago politics on steriods.

[Taco John]

I actually find this story interesting. I don't know that I give it much creedence at this point - but it's definitely eyebrow raising.

[SHTSPRAYER]

Maybe he was a wallflower.

Who skipped a lot of classes.


That's a possibility. It's also a possibility he never went there at all.

[phillip]

OP is an idiot. I guarantee you that you could not find one person who says I graduated from KU. Of 30,000 people there at the time, 29,750+ didn't know me. How are you going to find the few who did?

There's no way BO got into law school without sending his undergraduate transcripts. Law schools are serious and your transcripts have to come sealed directly from the undergraduate institution.

I'm not a democrat or anything, but this conspiracy theory stuff is just stupid.

[wild1]

They can't, as stated in a previous post Obama has spent in excess of $1M to have his "private" information sealed.

Well, that is interesting.

I wonder if he did go by a different name then, or if he was involved in organizations or activities while at Columbia that would damage his reputation.

[donkhater]

I actually find this story interesting. I don't know that I give it much creedence at this point - but it's definitely eyebrow raising.

That's the point that everyone should agree on. Let's assume everything about Obama's past is kosher. One needs to ask the questions:

1. Why go to such lengths to block release of ALL school records, transcripts and applications?

2. Why does the public know next to NOTHING about probably the most popular president in decades in this age of media?

No Obama supporter even finds that even a little strange? Why not?

[BigChiefFan]

Dude, we get it. Bush was bad. I even agree with you. But does that mean that by default the country should elect anyone with a pulse, which seems to be the only meaningful accomplishment of Obama's? Ever?
For the record, I'm not pleased with Obama and have questions of my own, but this is one of those stories that is actually put out to divert the masses attention to focus on trivial crap.

I mean really, stop and think about it..."Oh noes", SOME 400 students don't remember Obama attending, never mind, how many THOUSANDS that attend every year. It's a divide and conquer article, that tries to seperate the American people, rather than everybody realizing we're all in this TOGETHER. Spray doesn't care about justice, he cares about smearing the other side and takes a dump on his fellow Americans in the process. I'm just sick of the "it's my way or the hiway" politics.

Our country is partly in this rut, because of this tripe, that doesn't let us set our differences aside and band together to find commonalities amongst ourselves. We better start working together or we're doomed and will allow big government to dictate our lives to us.

Are his thesis transcripts available or have they been shredded too ?

Dan Rather and the news media had an f'n cow over W's national guard service. W flew planes and that wasn't good enough for Dan Blather.
Blather just lost his lawsuit with CBS over that FIASCO.

Maybe Blather or someother news reporter could win a Pulitzer Prize if they actually found some proof on President Barack (don't call me Karl Marx) Obama at Columbia. BTW, how did Obama pay for his college cost at Columbia ?

He's not very transparent is he.

Well, I agree that not finding anyone that could remember him isn't really that damning. I do agree with the article, however, that if he was such an accomplished student as to get accepted into Harvard law, that someone would have known him at Columbia. It does suggest that he was admitted despite his grades.

[wild1]

Maybe some of his writings still exist from that period, and espouse Marxist ideas that he would rather keep the public from knowing.

I recall reading somewhere that his supposedly disappeared thesis was written on the Soviet Union.

[SHTSPRAYER]

Well, that is interesting.

I wonder if he did go by a different name then, or if he was involved in organizations or activities while at Columbia that would damage his reputation.

I'm sure at least one faculty member would remember you.

Right?

[orange]

One person who did remember Mr. Obama was Michael L. Baron, who taught a senior seminar on international politics and American policy. Mr. Baron, now president of an electronics company in Florida, said he was Mr. Obama’s adviser on the senior thesis for that course. Mr. Baron, who later wrote Mr. Obama a recommendation for Harvard Law School, gave him an A in the course.

Columbia was a hotbed for discussion of foreign policy, Mr. Baron said. The faculty included Zbigniew Brzezinski, the former national security adviser, and Zalmay Khalilzad, now the American ambassador to the United Nations. Half of the eight students in the seminar were outstanding, and Mr. Obama was among them, Mr. Baron said.

Michael J. Wolf, who took the seminar with him and went on to become president of MTV Networks, said: “He was very smart. He had a broad sense of international politics and international relations. It was a class with a lot of debate. He was a very, very active participant. I think he was truly distinctive from the other people in that class. He stood out.”

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/30/us/politics/30obama.html?_r=1&sq=obama%20columbia&st=nyt&scp=1&pagewanted=all

Earlier this year, the AP tracked down Mr. Obama's New York-era roommate, "Sadik," in Seattle after the campaign refused to reveal his name. Sohale Siddiqi, his real name, confirmed Mr. Obama's account that he turned serious in New York and "stopped getting high." "We were both very lost," Mr. Siddiqi said. "We were both alienated, although he might not put it that way. He arrived disheveled and without a place to stay." For some reason the Obama camp wanted this to stay out of public view.

No. Seriously. Not one would. I did well enough to get into a top 25 law school. I went to class and got good grades. I never once went to a teacher's office hours and none of them would remember me.

There's no way to get into Harvard Law without transcripts coming directly from the undergrad college. He wasn't the president at the time so Harvard didn't give him special treatment.

This is seriously just dumb.

And btw, I'm not in any kind of KU yearbook either.

[SHTSPRAYER]

This is all I could find on B.O. from Columbia's official Alumni web page:

I'd like to think if he actually graduated from the school there would be more than that.

Are we sure he went to Columbia University (http://www.columbia.edu/)?

Did you go to college? I think you have the wrong idea about it in your head. Its not like high school at all. It is really not surprising at all that nobody would remember him being there 30 years later.

Like I said, everything you've posted would hold true for me as well, and it would point to me not having graduated from KU.

Not a single one of those pieces of information would lead me to believe in any way that he didn't attend.

At Columbia, given a particular major, I think it is odd.

I am not far removed at present, but I spent about as many years in higher ed as he did, and I would find it odd if no one remembered me from either of these institutions 15 or 20 years from now.

Federal law limits the information that Columbia can release about Mr. Obama's time there. A spokesman for the university, Brian Connolly, confirmed that Mr. Obama spent two years at Columbia College and graduated in 1983 with a major in political science. He did not receive honors, Mr. Connolly said, though specific information on his grades is sealed. A program from the 1983 graduation ceremony lists him as a graduate.

Wow, that could mean they called THREE people and ran with the story. Color me unimpressed with the story that is only out to undermine his legitimacy as being our president. He's our president, some just can't handle it and will stop at nothing to question his legitimacy. He was elected our president. He's an American.

A spokesman for the university, Brian Connolly, confirmed that Mr. Obama spent two years at Columbia College and graduated in 1983 with a major in political science. He did not receive honors, Mr. Connolly said, though specific information on his grades is sealed. A program from the 1983 graduation ceremony lists him as a graduate.

But asking 3 of his fellow students, proves the opposite? ROFL

Brian Connoly says he confirmed it so I guess it's true. We'll just take his word for it.

:drool:

File this one under, who gives a shit?

I agree, I just hope there isn't a rightie Dan Rather looking to make up documents to prove he wasn't there.

Seriously though, this is a nonissue in my book.

But you don't ask for accountability form BOTH PARTIES. I have never seen a liberal here take a stand to see Obama's credentials from Columbia, nor have I seen any liberal take a stand and ask Obama to produce his actual certificate of live birth.The Antichrist doesn't leave no stinking paper trail. :D

[mlyonsd]

If his time at Columbia was during his crack years I'd figure he'd be able to at least come up with one name.

[SHTSPRAYER]

Well, he's been able to explain away an army of embarrassing associations, at least to some people. This could be explained away too. "That's not the me I knew"

I'd be curious to find out what social security number he used.

Wow, the righties are reaching on this one. Obama is probably putting the kabosh on this whole inquiry because he sees how stupid and unproductive it is, not because he is trying to cover something up. Don't the wingtards have something more important to go after than people not remembering him from college? It's hilarious in a very sad way.

[wild1]

"Fox News contacted some 400 of his classmates and found no one who remembered him. "

Wow, that could mean they called THREE people and ran with the story.

It says "some 400 classmates", not "some of his 400 classmates".

OP is an idiot. I guarantee you that you could not find one person who says I graduated from KU. Of 30,000 people there at the time, 29,750+ didn't know me. How are you going to find the few who did?

There's no way BO got into law school without sending his undergraduate transcripts. Law schools are serious and your transcripts have to come sealed directly from the undergraduate institution.

I'm not a democrat or anything, but this conspiracy theory stuff is just stupid.This. There are probably 8-10 people from my graduating class at MU that knew me well. Outside of our department, I don't think any of the professors would know who I was. That means more than 99.9% of people on campus likely didn't know I was on campus.

Regarding the transcripts, I'm pretty sure most schools can't release those without permission.

Some people just want something to be true so badly.

Hilarity.

Kind of sad.

Thus proving you didn’t actually graduate. Keep running your flap and your citizenship will be in question next.

Gee, maybe the TWO WARS that we are still in, might have a little to do with it. Meaning, their lies have implications, like DEATH and torture, but let's sweep that under the rug, shall we?

Well gee, maybe that has NOTHING TO DO WITH OBAMA LIEING which was my question Mr BigChiefFan.

Though I'm not saying Obama is lieing about this, this thread title is crap.
