I'll bet the farm that Obama was very close with Ayers while "attending" COlumbia.

He never went, he has someone phony his school record, I think this is what this article is hinting at.

He may have got “grades” by giving th eradical professors and Ayers blow jobs. That’s my theory anyway.

I don’t know about Columbia but he did receive a Certificate of Corruption from RJ Daley Community College in Chicago.

I don’t believe he went.

And up until this year, I didn’t believe a Manchurian Candidate could exist.

Bill Ayers seems to have been at Columbia Teachers College from 1984 to 1987, not as early as your timeline suggests:

He lived right down the street from Columbia when Osama Hussein attended. What a coincidence.

And didn’t the MSM hound Bush about it?

Not a peep about Obama.

Thank you for the post and ping!

I find this more than interesting.
What Presidential candidate doesn’t have some kind of background check?
The drive-bys love to delve into every little nook and cranny of said candidate’s life.
Unless, said candidate is Barak Obama.

Even more interesting is why the DNC is now located in Chicago?
You would think they would be more effective in Washington, D. C.
However, I guess they are easier to control in Chicago.

Cooper Union is close to Columbia and I wonder if Obama might have attended it. It has very controversial conferences and might have interested him.

man, I wish Wayne had been the LP candidate, he was all set up to be then Barr says HEY I’M A LIBERTARIAN! and they give him the the slot. I was almost ready to hold my nose and vote for the aclu piece of crap then he jumped on the globul whoring bandwagon, that is not libertarian at all. Maybe Wayne will be the candidate in 2012.

There is muchy that smells suspicious about Obama’s alleged attendance at Columbia. Among the aspects that draw attention: Obama’s website says he attended “Columbia Univeristy.” If he attended “Columiba College,” he would say “Columbia College” or “Columbia College” of Columbia University and he would give a date.

There is a School of General Studies that many attend on the fly, a course here, a course there; the standards are much, much less than those of Columbia College, though with affirmative action and Columbia’s Palestinian Authority propagandist Edward Said teaching at Columbia University, anything’s possible.

Obama and Ayers have both said they were among Edward Said’s proteges, as are other Marxist operatives he placed in academe. A direct inquiry to Columbia University’s “ask us” link about whether Obama attended any of Columbia University’s schools was met with a red flag unexpected written answer: “Check the public [Internet] sites.” Only when I strongly pressed the issue did I get an answer a couple of days later: “He graduated from the College in 1983.” The whole online interchange smelled fishy.

It seems like someone at Columbia was trying to keep at a distance the university from information about Obama.

It’s scary how easily academic credentials can be faked. I know another faker not dissimilar to Obama who heads a large department of local government and also regularly claims he attended Columbia University, though he never attended even one class there.

Very well written, and very thoughful.

I’ve speculated on these very things myself in various posts, emails to friends (and enemies), blog comments, etc.

I read a post somewhere by someone who basically placed Hussein mere blocks away from the Brinks armored car heist by the W.U. that resulted in the murder of two NYC police officers and a Brinks guard.

It is possible that Hussein was himself some kind of charter member of The Weather Underground in its last incarnation.

The confluence of Ayers’ and Dorhn’s activities with Hussein’s time spent in NYC, their propinquity there and later all of them gathered in Chicago, with Hussein and Dorhn working at the same law firm...all of it points to commies in cahoots for many, many years.

What can be said with some certainty is that Mr. Obama lived off campus while at Columbia in 1981-83 and made few friends.

Maybe that crack investigative "journalist" and contemporary, George Stephanopoulos could enlighten us with some shared observations of his all-but classmate, Barry Whatever??? Stephy graduated from Columbia College a year ahead of Barry. Same field -- political science? Seems Stephy has interviewed Barry a number of times. I gather they didn't discuss their early days at Columbia?

That no one remembers a college student isn’t that odd.

I had to work full time and went to college full time.
I knew a handful of people, but can’t remember much socializing. It was school-—work, school-—work.
The same for graduate school.
As I recall both colleges had around 20000-30000 students.

The last yearbook I was in was probably high school.

What bothers me most about Obama’s school days is that he refuses to provide transcripts— or anything that links him.

If I were a betting man, I’d say the odds he attended a class at Columbia are quite high. (That’s one class—to establish a record)

The chance he spent two full years is close to zero.

The simple fact is that Barack Obama is a fictitious creature born in a book and raised by the media. He reminds me of that movie: “The Man Who Never Was”.

Very Scary Stuff.
