Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but none remembered him.
Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who also graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me.
I don't have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia. Ever! Nobody recalls him. I'm not exaggerating, I'm not kidding." Root adds that he was also, like Obama, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that. Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him. At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me.
No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York, the macha who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him. Is that not strange?
It's very strange." Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia, provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Allyn_Root#column-one
NOTE: Root graduated as Valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School, then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major (in the same class as President Barack Obama WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN IN).
Can it be that BHO is a complete fraud?? More intrigue concerning "The Man who wasn't there."
Hmmm! Maybe they ought to interview the “gay” students from that era.
If the people who are pulling his strings are as rich and empowered as it would appear from several mysteries surrounding him getting a fake college experience would be very possible. It’s like the birth certificate controversy. If it’s so silly to think there’s a problem then let him produce a room mate or team mate or class mate or a prof, etc.
All goose chases start out as a wild goose chase. It changes very suddenly into a got the goose chase when the goose is gotten!
maybe he took correspondence courses
It’s certain the FBI and CIA know his addresses from those missing years. Isn’t that the time period when Ayers was there, and orchestrating Weather Underground bombings?
I’d settle for a coke mate at this point...isn’t there someone who remembers doing coke with him at Columbia?
“In order to get in he would have had to have an undergraduate degree.”
Not entirely true. Powerful friends could pencilwhip the approval.
Yet nobody in ANY of the classes she supposedly should have recalls this articulate, talented young black man. From my undergrad engineering days, I remember the young black classmates, mainly because there were only two of them in my specialty.
You are incorrect that he had to have been there. All he needs is for there to be a transcript in the files showing good grades. How the transcript got there is besides the point.
No one has ever come forward to say obama worked for him at any time during his teenage years or college years, either
No hamburger flipping, no 7-11, no dorm hash slinging, no lemonade stand, nothing. He never held a job in his life before he became a commnunity organizer?
Well, the ONLY person who claims to have known him is a gay guy who says they smoked crack and had gay sex. The whole thing is really strange. It is very damning of the press these days that they refuse to take this on and settle it once and for all. Of course, the fact that something does not, and never has, existed is much difficult to prove than the fact it does or did.
He was probably selling drugs.
Haha...that is good...Columbia College in Chicago has a muslim campus.
Compare him to Bill Clinton. It seemed everyone was a FOB when he was POTUS. Even the chharming, harridan Hillary had her group of friends who thought she hung the moon.
It’s striking that O seems to have no buddies just radical cohorts.
This putz has to have friends manufactured for him because he was never there in the first place.
Weren't the radical left organizations (SDS, Weathermen) adept at making false documents?
God can do anything...
In a all white environment a handful of blacks would of stuck out like a sore thumb, and been VERY memorable. I can remember the handful of blacks that attended my high school vividly, they were like seeing a unicorn.
Oh sure, at least ordinary citizens would have to, but....?
Noticing them doesn't mean remembering their name.
I can’t understand why you sent me this linkage.
