The questions to be asked:
How did Obama get into Columbia with poor grades at Occidental?
How did it happen that he suddenly moves to NYC and enters Columbia and can live off campus?
Who paid his living expenses?
Why can’t he remember where he lived and who his roommates were as a Junior and Senior at Columbia?
Why is it that no one remembers him in Junior/Senior years?
Personally, I believe the reason for this secrecy and hole in his resume is because he was associated with radical groups and had radical roommates at that time. How many of you cannot remember where you lived as a junior or senior in college and could not point out anyone who knew you or name of a roommate? There is a big secret here or he would be forthcoming about this time.. This only raises more questions.
Another point is that Obama says he “could have gone to Wall Street” with a Harvard degree, but instead chose to do community service. Huh? He did community service as an organizer in Chicago right after Columbia. Harvard Law came several years later. What’s going on here? Doesn’t jive.

I have not read Obama books. I am one African American (AA) woman who refuses to drink the kool-aid. Twenty years ago I would have jumped blindly on the Obama train solely because he was a black man

In 1995 Chicago experienced one of the worse heat waves in its history. 739 elderly and poor people lost their lives, the majority of them on the Southside and Westside of Chicago. They died because no one came to their rescue they slowly died suffocated behind locked doors and sealed windows, out of contact with friends, family, and neighbors, unassisted by public agencies or community groups ( see Eric Klinenberg Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago). One of my friends living in Chicago contend that this should not have happened that all the AA mega churches are air-conditioned and have huge commerical kitchen could have housed those who died. That someone could have appealed to the ministers to open up their churches to house these people during the 5-day heat wave. So, I ponder where was Obama? I mean once an activist always an activist. The activist that I know are always rallying around humanitarian efforts, it is what we do roll-up our sleeves wear out the sole of our shoes and get our hands dirty! Why wasnt he inspired to use his grass-root influence to mobilize folks big mega-churches to rescue those poor old people.. Perhaps if he saw his future on the horizon in 1995 he would have shown up. Maybe Jesse Jackson and his congressman son should have shown-up. I know the Roseland and Altgeld Garden communities where he worked as an activist...

Obviously community organizer didnt mean to obama what Community Organizer meant to the community...)
