quite possibly

Like I've said above, Obama clearly went to Columbia. Disputing that is just grasping at straws.

But, being objective there is something in the transcripts that camp does not want released.

We'll likely never know

No president has ever released his transcripts except for Bush and he only did after The New Yorker released some of them.

While I enjoy reading your silliness, this Website has a list of friends and teachers quoted from both colleges.

Also his name in the Columbia Directory and Graduation Program.

I'm with you jamboy. I think he was indeed born in HI, he did go where they said he went. I think he lied to get foreign student aid.

Over the course of his career who would have required copies of Obama's college transcripts? Harvard Law School, the Illinois Bar Association and the University of Chicago Law School are the only institutions I can think of. So there are no sources for the information like personnel files from past employers to provide the information without his consent.

An essay published in the Columbia student magazine on March 10, 1983. Written by Barack Obama

I think Obama's past is sketch as frick, but to expect a sitting POTUS to attend his university college's reunion especially given everything that's going on in the world is sillyness.

I'd buy that if Obama wasn't playing many rounds of golf or doing a bunch of fundraising events during this time span.

If Obama has got time for those other things, a 20 yr reunion isn't that much of a stretch or difference. Now if Obama was meeting with others(Advisers or Congress)during this time span. While doing serious work coming up with many strategies so the USA handles these major problems. Your excuse for Obama not wanting to go to his reunion might have some merit, but the fact have shown. Obama was/is doing less important stuff than going to ones 20yr college reunion during all these crisis. To tell you the truth, I think most people would be more understanding of Obama going to a 20yr reunion than playing golf or fundraising.

Now most can go back to two-party-bickering
Seems like it's popular these days



Oh yeah, I agree with your assessment of Obama's past being somewhat blurry & sketchy. Who knows what the truth is at times because it's hard to find honest news or unbias posters these days.

Was that article written for Barry by Valerie Jarrett or Bill Ayers?

I was just kidding - and referring to the idiotic requests for different versions of Obama's birth certificate once it was produced. It doesn't matter what documentation is provided, the kooks are going to kook.

My question is how does a guy who is so nerdy and awkward that he can't even be popular at an ivy school....all of a sudden become a bold public speaker and gain popularity for over half of the nation to become President?


I can think of only one other person in history who fits that description.

Not comparing the two but wasn't Adolf kind of an outcast like that in his younger years?

At this point, objectively it fuels skepticism that they think makes the right look kooky.

Obama makes Hitler references in the antiwar essay I linked. No one is immune from Godwin's Law.

If you actually read the article posted in the OP, the author comes to the conclusion that Obama did indeed go to Columbia and listed reasons as to why he supports that conclusion (ex: Why would Columbia lie for all these years?).

The author just found it strange that of the 150 people who were involved in the political science program, not a single one of them remembered Barack Obama.

I graduated high school with 206 other people. Everyone at least had some idea of who everyone was. The fact that no one remembers Obama is indeed peculiar.

He was isolated, off-campus, and asocial. Likely on drugs and/or depressed. That's the main impression I can glean. And a far more plausible and simpler explanation than any of this other conspiracy bullshite.

So were quite a few others. He still attended individual classes 2-3 times a week and none of them would be that large considering how small the political science population was. People would have noticed him.
