It is odd he studied instead of socializing, isn't it?
I didn't socialize in college amongst classmates in my degree field but they still saw me every day when I walked into the room and were aware of my existence.
Barack Obama was one of roughly 150 students at Columbia who were in his degree field. Not one of his classmates has ever come out and said they remember ever seeing him. And that's a face you don't forget as he was probably one of only a handful of black students in that degree field.
We know he went to Columbia because his roommates and a former college teacher said they saw him. We also know he went to Columbia because he authored an editorial in the school newspaper. But the fact that no one in his degree field ever remembers seeing him is very strange.

not as strange as citing theblaze.com as fact

OP is an idiot (to be expected). This was all cleared up back in 2007 or 2008 (cannot remember which) when (then) Senator Obama released his admission application and transcripts from Columbia. Absolutely nothing to see.

The guy who wrote the article on theblaze was one of Obama's classmates.
He could be embellishing, he could be lying, but as far as I know we only have three people from Obama's time at Columbia who ever saw him at Columbia. His roommates and one of his professors.
None of his other classmates ever recall seeing Obama on campus.
Now I am not going to say he never attended, the article quoted by the OP doesn't even go that far. I think the man spent most of his Columbia years smoking dope and neglecting class.

The OP didn't even read the article. The columnist was a student at Columbia and graduated the same year Obama did from the same major. He even says he has no doubt Obama was a student at Columbia as it would be stupid to think an Ivy League school would involve itself in a 30-year coverup.
He just doesn't recall seeing him and neither do any of his classmates.

Because old white men seem to have turned this into their pastime. It's the final flailing before their era ends for good, so probably not much to worry about.

The larger question regards his acceptance, under those circumstances, to Harvard law school.
FIFY
So much this. Not only his acceptance as an (at best) average student (would love to see his LSAT if it was used at that time), but how did he pay for it?
That has always puzzled me.

Mine was a poor attempt at tongue in cheek posting. I was pointing out that the key issue is not whether anyone remembered him (I have no doubt he attended), but his own scholarly accomplishments (or lack thereof) while he was at Columbia.

He found the teleprompter a bit later and from then on was the bee's knee's.

It was a very early online course. U. of Northern Columbia at New Hampshire.

What College puts out a year book with photos?
Posted on 9/2/14 at 12:14 pm to socraticsilence
all Ivy League schools, and probably a lot of other small private schools

He did well enough to transfer from Occidental, probably struggled at a much more academically demanding school for a semester or two, graduated and then killed it at Harvard where he was obviously more focused and more involved in the community.

How did he get into the most prestigious law school in the country by being a hermit and skimming through with bad grades?
