Actually you have it backwards. No one who graduated from Columbia College would say anything other than “Columbia College.” Obama’s campaign website for 2004 said only “Columbia University,” a dead give-away he did not graduate from Columbia College or attend it. Columbia College is a small college and the smart students at Columbia College in those days would definitely remember a totally atypical mediocre character like the person today posing as U.S. president. Percy Sutton got Obama into Harvard - he says so in an interview on YouTube and it seems that blackmail of someone high up at Columbia University took place, so that the powers that be there pretend Obama graduated from its Columbia College. This is just one of the dissimulations that have created Obama’s persona. Maybe he took one course at the pay as you go branchy of the university, the School of General Studies.

Columbia College must have it backwards too. See: http://www.college.columbia.edu/news/barack-obama-83-becomes-first-college-alumnus-to-win-presidency
It is interesting that the article claims Obama as an alumnus, with no mention of a degree.

I can’t recall what was used in 2004, but I noticed more recently that Obama-friendly media uses College rather than University. I am not sure the distinction matters to most, but I was trying to suggest that researchers should cast a wide net if looking for lists, etc. My guess is that Obama did somewhat attend Columbia-something, and got away with incredible laxity courtesy of aggressive affirmative action. Seems doubtful that he earned a normal degree, whether anyone was blackmailed or not. The common belief that he could not have entered Harvard Law without one is not compelling.
