“Which means, he knew there would not be a paper trail attached to him with an alias.”

OBAMA COVERS HIS TRACKS (Reprint from American Thinker)

PUMA! PUMA FOR McCAIN/PALIN

He won’t allow his transcript from his undergraduate days at Columbia University to be released.

He “lost” his thesis on Soviet nuclear policy (see “Where in the World is Obama’s Missing Thesis“ which might provide insight regarding his seeming lack of knowledge about Soviet policy during the Kennedy years).

He won’t answer questions about his days at Harvard Law School.

He “lost” his Illinois Senate records.

He will only release a simple one-page letter from his doctor on his medical condition.

He won’t release his application to the state bar, which, as National Review’s Jim Geraghty notes raises questions about whether he told the truth about parking tickets and drug use, among other issues.

He won’t disclose list of his clients from his law firm days or the nature of the work he did for them as a lawyer (his clients include the indicted political fixer Tony Rezko).

He walks away from uncomfortable questions about Rezko at a news conference.

His cultists try to shut down inquiry into his stewardship of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge by sliming a journalist investigating his days at the helm of that group, which blew through $100 million dollars with no discernible benefit for the schools and students that it was putatively designed to help (what does the constitutional law lecturer say to the chilling of free speech by his acolytes?).

He tries to muddle his long-standing ties with Pastor Wright by producing a version of his attendance record at Trinity Church that is sharply at variance with previous versions he has given (”Obama Re-invents his Trinity Church History“).

The Wall Street Journal joins the battle over Obama’s past in today’s editorial (”Obama’s Lost Years“):

The Columbia years are a hole in the sprawling Obama hagiography. In his two published memoirs, the 47-year-old Democratic nominee barely mentions his experience there.

He refuses to answer questions about Columbia and New York — which, in this media age, serves only to raise more of them. Why not release his Columbia transcript? Why has his senior essay gone missing? [....]

Voters and the media are now exercising due diligence before Election Day, and they are meeting resistance from Mr. Obama in checking his past. Earlier this year, the AP tracked down Mr. Obama’s New York-era roommate, “Sadik,” in Seattle after the campaign refused to reveal his name. Sohale Siddiqi, his real name, confirmed Mr. Obama’s account that he turned serious in New York and “stopped getting high.” “We were both very lost,” Mr. Siddiqi said. “We were both alienated, although he might not put it that way. He arrived disheveled and without a place to stay.” For some reason the Obama camp wanted this to stay out of public view.

What can be said with some certainty is that Mr. Obama lived off campus while at Columbia in 1981-83 and made few friends. Fox News contacted some 400 of his classmates and found no one who remembered him...

That baby's name is Malcolm and he looks white?

Yes. I had a white roommate named Malcolm back in the day.

Thanks for posting this- I’m so overwhelmed with the questions left unasked by our press that I don’t know what is going on in our country- but it’s got a really ugly sense about it and I’m praying like I haven’t prayed in years for our nation.

I knew Malcolms too. But this is the Kansas City Black Panther Chapter. This Malcolm was in Algeria with the Odinga that robbed the Brinks truck.

Too many coincidences to dismiss.

Cooper Union is close to Columbia...

Cooper Union is nowhere near Columbia, is one of the most competitive schools in the country (because it is free) and focuses its programs on totally non-political areas like architecture and engineering.

That said, Cooper Union is one of the usual venues for socialist minded people in NYC to meet and they probably met there.

That is probably a reference to the Obama’s Mental Health thread:

I still didn’t get to read through it yet.

Oh, there's no doubt in my mind that he is a Mansourian Candidate.

If he ever gets in with both houses of Congress controlled by the Dems, I can't think of a worse scenario.

Thanks for the Ping LucyT

Have been gone most of the evening at a family birthday celebration, so I am catching up on this thread.

Actually, when you really think about it....there truly is not a paper trail associated with Obama. Madelyn Dunham has been unavailable and the Kenyan Aunt that was just found in the US can’t talk about anything until after Nov. 4th. It seems that everyone else involved that might “know” anything about Obama are working on his campaign or are big donors....inside the US and Foreign.

As I said in another post, the mainstream media has been complicit in this. If Obama is elected, history will not forget the media’s treachery to NOT ONCE ever question anything Obama has given them, either verbally or written.

What a great analogy from his story:

“”What is the chance that a budding young politician of undeniable talent and promise spends his junior and senior years at Columbia, and no one remembers him?

What is the chance that my RIGHT ASS CHEEK, through spontaneous quantum vibration, suddenly transmutes into a hemisphere of polished gold?

Don’t you feel these probabilities are at least roughly comparable?”””
