Whatever the reason, something is fishy about Obama’s time at Columbia. Despite what the smart-set on this board may claim, this is not a “fringe conspiratorial theory” but an objective analysis of fact. The exact timeline of Obama’s tenure at Columbia has been shrouded in mystery and contradictory claims since Obama first emerged as a national political figure.


How does an admittedly somewhat struggling student (I mean, I think he made a point about this in some of his writings) at sort of an obscure third tier college transfer to an Ivy League school to finish undergrad? That was the thing that never made any sense to me and was seemingly never explained in any way.

How does that happen????

Those were leaked not released.


You are absolutely correct, Bush’s records were indeed surreptitiously obtained by the New Yorker in 1999:

Dept. of Aptitude….

Yet Kerry’s records at Yale were only released after Kerry authorized the Navy to release all his service & academic records, which included his academic rankings while a student at Yale:

Kerry, Bush GPAs At Yale Similar….

…Kerry, a Democrat, previously declined to release the transcript, which was included in his Navy records. He gave the Navy permission to release the documents last month, the Globe reported. Kerry graduated from Yale in 1966, Bush in 1968


I conflated my memory of Kerry’s authorized release with the earlier release of Bush’s academic records. To coin a Bushism, I “disremembered.” I stand corrected.

Then what's the point of bringing up that he's a college classmate?

In a class of 1400 people, he doesn't have any more inside info on Obama than the average person.

Columbia had a 40+% acceptance rate in the early 1980s for transfers.

As long as you were reasonably sane and had okay scores, you stood a good chance of admission.

Acceptance rates started coming down in the late 1980s but it was much, much easier to get into Columbia in the early 1980s.

Unless there were 1400 people in the same year of pre-law, your point is moot.

I mean not really.

I graduated a few years ago and I can barely remember most of my class mates.

This guy graduated from college 40 years ago. The idea that he can't remember Obama isn't unusual considering his college experience was 40 years ago.

Why are you still focused on this? Who cares? What does his supposed gayness affect?

He is married to Michelle. Being gay might be an upgrade.

Martha’s Vineyard is a perfect spot to live in while one hates America. It literally reeks of Americanness and wealth.
