re: 30th year poli-sci Reunion at Columbia: NOT ONE PERSON remembers Obama

It blows my mind how liberals refuse to even admit to the possibility that some of this stuff doesn't add up. Is their man-love for him made them that blind? Even gone as far as to DEFEND use of the US Governments most powerful arm to oppress political opinion. Damn, have we sunk that low?

You guys would follow him if he decided to invade hell.

I was Barack Obama ’83’s roommate at Columbia College in fall 1981.

We attended rallies on campus where we were urged to “draft beer, not people,” and discussed the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, apartheid in South Africa, the hostages in Iran and the Contras in Latin America.

Draft was over in 1973.

Soviet invasion of Afghanistan - yeah, an interesting though dated topic by then.

Apartheid in South Africa - Legit.

Hostages in Iran - Why? Already long over with by then.

Contras in Latin America - Cannot see them discussing the Contras as they only came into being in 1979, but it is a remote possibility.

After that first semester, we had to move. Barack tried to find an apartment for both of us, but was only able to find a studio for himself.

Not a lot of "roommating" in this story.

ETA: I think he misspoke in the article. If he means the Soviet "occupation" of Afghanistan then yeah, an interesting topic (at least for me).
