It's a two-bedroom walkup fit for a president.
President Barack Obama's former pad on the Upper West Side is for rent with an asking price of $1850.
Obama lived in apartment 3E at 142 West 109th Street in 1981, while a junior at Columbia University. He shared the tiny pad with a roommate.

Why are you spreading disinformation? That was his roommate. He has said so in his book. Didn’t you do the same thing a few months ago and I called you out on it and set you straight?

How much was it when the Usurper rented it? And who paid for it? For that matter who paid for his alledged eduacation?
Obama spent the six years between 1979 and 1985 at Occidental College in Los Angeles and then in New York at Columbia University and in the workplace. His memoir, “Dreams from My Father,” talks about this time, but not in great detail; Siddiqi, for example, is identified only as “Sadik” - “a short, well-built Pakistani” who smoked marijuana, snorted cocaine and liked to party.
Obama’s campaign wouldn’t identify “Sadik,” but The Associated Press located him in Seattle, where he raises money for a community theater.
Together, the recollections of Siddiqi and other friends and acquaintances from Obama’s college years paint a portrait of the candidate as a young man.
They remember a good student with a sharp mind and unshakable integrity, a young man who already had a passion for the underprivileged. Some described the young Obama’s personality as confident to the point of arrogance,

The next day he moved into the apartment with fellow Occidental College transfer Phil Boerner in the fall of 1981. Boerner, who remained Obama's friend throughout his college years, describes the apartment as a third story walkup with a railroad layout and a missing doorbell. It had a walkthrough layout, and Boerner had to walk through Obama's room to get to his own. The heating frequently failed, one of the reasons Obama wound up spending so much time in Butler Library. At other times, the two roommates read their books under blankets.
Boerner:
WTF??? I may have to re-think Larry Sinclair’s credibility.
Next time do your research before you spread propaganda please.
She knows that. We’ve been down this road before.
Google and Bing are your friends. You stated factually it was photoshopped. It isn’t. Don’t tell me to settle down. Do you homework before you make false statements.
Too many appendages in that pic.
/justsayin’
I was wondering why anyone who reads these threads even part time would think that was photoshopped.
I long ago decided to re-think larry’s story. Especially after pretty gay boy Donald Young was offed and I saw all of the light in the loafers friends and roomies he had. Not a single girlfriend, not a single photo with a girl, no prom dates, zip, zero nada. ..... until he married his beard, MO.
Sorry, I don’t take meds, just Tylenol once in a while and Vitamins. Do you want me to take my Vitamin now> I haven’t had it today. I don’t believe I have you confused with someone else, but if I do, still, you emphatically stated something as fact when it was false. It’s always a good idea to keep a search window open so you can search before you make a statement that is false.
Genoa seemed to think it was photoshopped. All I’m saying is that if it was, it was a very good job.
Mea culpa!! Please! Have mercy on me, a poor sinner!! Never again!!! I will always search!!! Google is my friend!!!
Exactly. It’s not like that photo isn’t all over FR for years and in a search for Obama college roommates it’s on tons of sites. The NYT was the first one to report it and post it then later they cropped the Paki out for another story.
