To prove or disprove Obama attended Columbia University

1. Is there a list of graduates, class of 1983 with his name on it in any of the New York City Papers? Don’t newspapers publish who is graduating? If not the papers-would there be a brochure handed out on graduation day published by Columbia that lists the graduating seniors. I still have mine from college and my name is listed along with 600 or so other seniors.

2. Has anyone officially asked Columbia university (perhaps the college part) the following: did Barack Obama or Barry Sorento graduate from Columbia in 1983.

There must be some public records that shows Obama graduating (or not) from Columbia in 1983.

Is he in any Columbia Yearbooks?

Perhaps all university and public records have been purged at the behest of the Bamster.

A quick search turned this up. This Root guy doesn’t dispute he graduated, just that nobody remembers him.

Barry Sorento

You mean the Tex-Mex western singer?

Columbia's registrar has said Obama studied there for two years. He's in the student directory/phonebook for those years.

No authoritative word on whether he appeared in the yearbook or whether there was a yearbook.

There's this, so presumably there was a yearbook:

Nobody's posted a photo or entry from it relating to BHO, so far as I know.

He could have skipped the photo shoot, but it is a little strange that this hasn't been discussed at any length.
