-Obama did not attend.

-He did not send a letter.

-He did not send a video.

-Not one attendee could remember anything about him or that he even attended.

Anyone else find this odd? No one (other than a one off "foreign exchange" student no one else recalls either) to this day remembers Obama at all?

Obama probably never went to Columbia

During that time he was using his birth name of Muhammad AlaHussein Bin Laden, and he kept mostly to himself.

I could see how old Barry was a nerd (even for an ivy school) and didn't have friends

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.

Comments are gold ....even references to Manchurian candidate.

The best part is - when someone produces a record or a photo documenting his time at Columbia - here's what will happen.

"It's a fake".

Everybody knows he didn't attend and his diploma is just a piece of paper.

Sketchy, but we know for a fact he went to Harvard Law, and I doubt they would have accepted someone who had a giant gap in their college transcripts

yeah, probably.

That's the most probable answer.



There is literally no way to respond to this except with satire.

Is there a male bathhouse in close proximity to Columbia? Perhaps someone there will recall seeing him.

A year old article - nice trolling.

quote:

Although Barack Obama may not have been particularly social or memorable during his years at Columbia, it isn't true that "no one ever came forward from Obama's past saying they knew him, attended school with him, was his friend, etc." Those who have attested to having daily personal experience with him during his time at that school include:
Friend and roommate Sohale Siddiqi, whom the Associated Press located and interviewed in May 2008.
Roommate Phil Boerner, who provided his recollections of sharing a New York City apartment with classmate Barack Obama to the Columbia College Today alumni publication and the New York Times in early 2009.
Michael L. Baron, who taught the year-long honors seminar in American Foreign Policy that Barack Obama took during his senior year at Columbia and recalled in an NBC interview Obama's "easily acing" the class and receiving an A for his senior paper on the topic of nuclear negotiations with the Soviet Union.
Likewise, other external evidence documents Barack Obama's presence at Columbia from 1981-83, including:
An article by Barack Obama published in the 10 March 1983 edition of Columbia's Sundial school magazine.
A January 2005 Columbia College Today profile of Barack Obama as a Columbia alumnus.
A Columbia College press release from November 2008 identifying him as "the first College alumnus to be elected President of the United States."
Finally, the fatal flaw in the "Obama didn't go to Columbia" theory is that he couldn't have been admitted to Harvard Law School in 1988 without having received an undergraduate degree. If he wasn't attending Columbia from 1981-83, he would have had to complete two full years' worth of coursework at (and graduate from) some other accredited college — yet his time between the end of his Columbia days in 1983 and his entering Harvard Law in 1988 is accounted for (working at the Business International Corporation and the New York Public Interest Research Group, then serving as director of the Developing Communities Project in Chicago), and no other school claims him as an alumnus, nor does anyone purport to have encountered him as a classmate or student at any other college or university during that period.

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.

This article is from his former roommate at Columbia. I remember reading it years ago and thinking how much it reeked of bullshite.

Is this how you guys would write about your one of your friends from college? It seems so contrived to me.

My College Roommate

ETA: " Barack listened carefully to all points of view and he was funny, smart, thoughtful and well-liked."

and

"As a host and roommate, he sometimes did the shopping and cooked the chicken curry."
