Which conflict with the historical time line. In 1980, when Obama is supposedly in Hawaii, he was in school at Occidental College. Occidental is in Los Angeles which, if memory serves, is on the U.S. mainland. Occcidental has confirmed he was a student in 1979-1981 in a quote posted in Snopes, and says that documents have listed him as being there. So on the one hand I have the choice of believing Race and his story of some unnamed, unphotographed black guy in Hawaii who just has to be Obama. Or I can choose to believe the Director of Communications at Occidental who says he was thousands of miles away. Hard choice. </sarcasm>
“Occcidental has confirmed he was a student in 1979-1981 in a quote posted in Snopes, and says that documents have listed him as being there.”
It is unfortunate that Obama has spent huge sums of both campaign and taxpayer funds keeping these “documents” from Occidental along with just about every other verifiable detail of his past sealed. Until the day the actual records are released it is all a... he said she said situation. Call me a fool but in my several decades on this earth I have learned to trust the word of a Marine over a “Director of Communications” any day of the week. To a Marine honor is everything to a “Director of Communications” it is a slogan to be used to manipulate others.
When I was in college far from home, I traveled home every few weeks. Is that so hard to imagine? O's grandmother was a bank official and could have afforded to send him a ticket. See if your stellar research unit can link up the dates of Occidental's school calendar for that year to see if he could have been on semester break, summer break, or a weekend.
Why then was his SSS registration form signed on July 30, 1980, in Honolulu (although the postal stamp from Honolulu has the date as July 29)? Would it be wild and unusual that he went home for the summer? Of course you could claim, as is supposed, that the SSS form 1 was a fake generated by somebody at the Selective Service in Chicago to cover for him, since he never registered. And why should he, since foreigners were not required to register for the draft?
