Root hosts a nationally syndicated radio show out of Las Vegas now. Heard him for the first time the other day. In introducing himself and giving his credentials, he said he was a Columbia classmate of Obama, but didn't say or imply anything about O being a phantom there. Wonder why he didn't mention that in the same breath, since merely stating O was a classmate seems to indicate that O was actually on campus. Or was not mentioning O's phantom status merely an oversight on Root's part?
maybe that makes him vulnerable and he's glossing over his previous statement, playing it safe.
FWIW our family pediatrician says that one of her friends knew 0bama in college.
