Who’s to say he wrote the article?

I just reread the Sundial article. Content aside, it's fairly well written, passable for an Ivy League senior in terms of such basics as sentence structure, grammar, vocabulary, and, and syntax, but does not impress as the work of a literary genius.

Since Bill Ayers was believed to have been in the neighborhood at the time, would be interested in the subject, and is believed to have later ghostwritten at least one book under Obama's name, it's possible Ayers could have done this article. Jack Cashill would be an expert on this issue.

So, Honolulu Star and Advertiser, where are all the “local boy does good” articles? Even if his classmates had to play Six Degrees to Barry, they’d be coming out of the woodwork to claim they knew him when but it’s basically crickets.

Yes, there's a striking contrast between the total absence of contemporary newspaper coverage of Zero's purported years at Columbia and the noteworthy and favorable newspaper coverage of his later years at Harvard Law School.

“.....Many colleges back during that time would send a notice to your hometown newspaper that you made the Dean’s List,won a scholarhip or was elected an officer of some academic society.......”

Won a scholarship.... Hmmmm .... didn’t he get a full scholarship to Occidental?

Where is THAT in the newspapers?

(And how about that “who’s who” book they publish?)

Never mind their Who is Who, (lol!) the years he attended Harvard are not included in their image archive of Law School graduates...

See if you can find it...the images start waaaay back, but seem to jump from 1987 to 2003

Here ...

http://articles.latimes.com/2007/jan/29/local/me-oxy29

From above:

“But the Illinois Democrat began his undergraduate education at Occidental, and the 1,825-student liberal arts college in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles isn’t shy about claiming him as an alumnus for his two years there (1979-81) on full scholarship.”

“...on full scholarship.”

Pretty good for a member of the Chom gang with mediocre to bad grades.

And he lived in LA the summer he supposedly filled out his selective service card in Hawaii.

Ayers returned to school to study early childhood education at Bank Street College of Education and received his master’s degree in 1984. Staying on there, he worked as an instructor while working on a doctorate in curriculum and teaching, which he completed in 1987...

The bride, who will be known as Mrs. Moustafa-Cook, graduated from the Emma Willard School and Swarthmore College, and received a master’s degree in education from the Bank Street College of Education.

(Genevieve Cook and William Ayres were at the Bank Street College at the same time. IIRC...Tom Ayres was on the Board of the College.)

By 1997, he appears under the name “Barack Obama” in the commercially-available 1997 edition all=Columbia alumni directory that’s supposed to include graduates of all the Columbia divisions. His address in the 1997 edition is an address in Hawaii. That’s the year he was sworn into the Illinois legislature. In the 2007 edition, he appears as “President Barack Obama,” White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington D.C. Given all his moving about, it’s surprising he got and answered his mail to update the data. Likely someone else did the updating for the recent edition.

There is no way that he would not have been remembered by people at Columbia College if he showed up for classes there. He is a memorable figure, even in his strung out years. He had help on the inside, likely with a request from the outside, to make an exception and give him the Columbia College imprimatur. Bill Ayers, now with his wife Bernardine Dohrn out of hiding, was during this period getting an undergrad education degree at Bank Street College of Education, located a few blocks south of Columbia University and then Ayers moved onto graduate study at Teacher’s College of Columbia University, a couple of blocks north of Columbia College. If Obama was really there at that time, there’s little chance all these radicals would not have known each other.

The network that groomed and financed and changed the facts and greased the skids for the person called Barack Obama must have been wider than just Bill Ayers’ well-healed parents and Bill and his wife and their SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) and spinoff Weather Underground group. Obama’s most influential advisers sitting right in the White House are are a coterie of members of the radical Left network and Islamic Jihad Muslim Brotherhood international terrorists. Hillary Clinton’s closest adviser at the State Dept was the daughter of top Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood leaders. How was this allowed to happen? Is it fear or sloth or brainwashing or all three that keep Congress, judges, and the brainwashed, brain dead complicit media like the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Sun Times, and Boston Globe from sounding the alarm about the dangerous undermining of the U.S. Constitution? Major pushback is needed now.

I could add a lot to that, but it’s a good start.

Just another of hussein’s little happy coinky dinks that he just happens to show up in the 1997 alumni directory the same year he gets sworn into the Senate.

He’s listed as POTUS in the 2007 directory? Is there a pic of that online? Since he wasn’t sworn in for another two years (Jan. 20, 2009) then Columbia must be using the same printer as the Hawaii Health Dept. Nope, nothing to see, move along.

Could be the photo was originally of Cook and Ayers. It would be an interesting project for someone who had the skills to determine that.

Heaven knows if the caption that came with this image is the real deal, but the watch he's wearing appears to be the same watch as in the image with Genevieve Cook...and the jacket is also his judging from a number of previous images. Why he's SHORTER in the photo with Genevieve and why his head is so out of proportion, is another thing...maybe he just had a funny look on his face or he had a beard, so they gave him a nicer looking face - who knows?

We decided to focus on what the episode revealed. By placing him with Genevieve who was at the Bank Street college with Ayres, at which college apparently Tom Ayres, the father was on the board, they pretty much verified what the Postman Hulton told...

http://gulagbound.com/21458/even-republicans-rejected-info-about-obamas-past/

the article and source of the image:

“...What would you do if you knew that the top Democrat running for president was lying about his past?

That is the question I was faced with in 2008. I had met the young Barack Obama while he was a sophomore at Occidental College, and I knew that his commitment to socialism was deep, genuine, and longstanding...

Yeah, that amalgam Martha whatever-their-name is, is a bunch of or a solitary raving nutcase, and probably working the “smoke and mirrors” department of 0-team internet disruption.

It’s all a revelation such as mohammad had when he heard the voice of allah through an archangel in a cave...and look where that got him. (Lies get to travel halfway around the world, before truth can tie her shoelaces...)

Correction on the year.: Obama is listed as being in the White House in the 2009 All Columbia Directory. The 1997 edition has him with an address in Hawaii.
