This came from a union guy in Chicago who didn't vote for Obama. Very, very interesting perspective that I never thought of in this light.
It will be interesting to see what they put in his "Presidential Library" or "Presidential Mosque" about his early years when he is out of office.
In a country where we take notice of many, many facets of our public figures' lives, doesn't seem odd that there's so little we know about our current president, Barack Obama. For example, we know that Andrew Jackson's wife smoked a corn cob pipe and was accused of adultery; Abe Lincoln never went to school; Jack Kennedy wore a back brace; Harry Truman played the piano.
As Americans, we enjoy knowing details about our newsmakers, but none of us know one single humanizing fact about the history of our own president.
We are all aware of the lack of uncontestable birth records for Obama; that document managing has been spectacularly successful. There are however, several additional oddities in Obama's history that appear to be as well managed as the birthing issue.
It's interesting that no one who ever dated him has shown up. The charisma that caused women to be drawn to him so strongly during his campaign, certainly would in the normal course of events, lead some lady to come forward, if only to garner some attention for herself. We all know about JFK's magnetism, that McCain was no monk and quite a few Details about Palin's courtship and even her athletic prowess Joe Biden's aneurysms are no secret; look at Cheney and Clinton, we all know about their heart problems.. Certainly Wild Bill Clinton's exploits before and during his White House years, were well known.
That's why it's so odd that not one lady has stepped up and said, "He was soooo shy..." or "What a great dancer..."
It's virtually impossible to know anything about this fellow.
Who was the best man at his wedding? Start there. Then check groomsmen.
Then get the footage of the graduation ceremony. Has anyone talked to the professors? It is odd that no one is bragging that they knew him or taught him or lived with him.
When did he meet Michele, and how? Are there photos there? Every president gives to the public all their photos, etc. for their library, etc. What has he released? And who in hell voted for him to be the most popular man in 2010? Doesn't this make you wonder?
Ever wonder why no one ever came forward from President Obama's past saying they knew him, attended school with him, was his friend, etc??
Not one person has ever come forward from his past. It certainly is very, very strange...
This should be a cause for great concern. To those who voted for him, you may have elected an unqualified, inexperienced shadow man. Have you seen a movie named "The Manchurian Candidate"
As insignificant as each of us might be, someone with whom we went to school will remember our name or face; someone will remember we were the clown or the dork or the brain or the quiet one or the bully or something about us.
George Stephanopoulos of ABC News said the same thing during the 2008 campaign. He questions why no one has acknowledged the president was in their classroom or ate in the same cafeteria or made impromptu speeches on campus. Stephanopoulos also was a classmate of Obama at Columbia -- the class of 1984. He says he never had a single class with him..
He is such a great orator; why doesn't anyone in Obama's college class remember him? Why won't he allow Columbia to release his records?
Nobody remembers Obama at Columbia University ....
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. Root adds that he was also, like Obama, Class of '83 Political Science, 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."
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 .
Some other interesting questions..
Why was Obama's law license inactivated in 2002?
Why was Michelle's law license inactivated by court order?
It is circulating that according to the U.S. Census, there is only one Barack Obama but 27 Social Security numbers and over 80 alias.
The Social Security number he uses now originated in Connecticut where he is never reported to have lived.
No wonder all his records are sealed...
Please continue sending this out to everyone. Somewhere, someone had to know him in school...before he "reorganized" Chicago & burst upon the scene at the 2004 Democratic Convention. Maybe next time we might think about asking these questions before we VOTE!
In 1989, Michelle was working at a downtown law firm and assigned the role of advisor to a summer associate from Harvard, Barack Obama. He reportedly didn’t have much interest in corporate law, but did have a lot of interest in Michelle.
She said “she fell in love with him for the same reason many other people respect him; his connection with people.”
Source: Journal Gazette/Times-Courier Online
After refusing to go out with Barack for a month, Michelle agreed to spend the day with him. They went to the art institute, had lunch at an outdoor cafe, walked and talked, saw the movie Do the Right Thing, and had a drink on the 99th floor of the John Hancock building.

Facts are good. The part I bolded is a speculation. The IL bar records available to the public don't show why her law license is inactive.
You still have to admit he has spent millions to sequester his past, from medical records to college term papers, and for what reason? He has something to hide and we are getting no help from the MSM in finding out why.
I find the timing of her “inactivity” unusual. It was mere days before the Illinois Bar Association was going to revoke her license that she surrendered her license to practice law. I believe the same is true of Obama.
The link it shows for that info is “Source: Journal Gazette/Times-Courier Online” and when you go to it there is nothing about them meeting. Great source! No author, no article even.
I imagine obama has hired some writers to “make shit up” so he can have a past history. I bet Billy Ayers is working it up right now.
But, one thing that bothers me is that people are still saying no one knew him. No professor ever had him in class.
Well, even if they are lying, there are a few people from Columbia who knew him. If we say NO ONE, all the MSM has to do is trot out Phil Boerner or Professor Michael Baron. The uninformed write us off at liars or conspiracy kooks.
It is a BAD plan to exaggerate ‘very few’ into NONE. It makes us look stupid. Isn’t ‘very few’ good enough?
The problem with a made up background is that there are always verifiable facts that can be cross checked. The more elaborate the story, the more ways they can trip themselves up. Any good detective knows this. To say Barry’s known past is lean on irrefutable facts regarding the particulars of his life is an understatement.
It seems he had an article published in the Columbia student magazine in 1983. Not sure if they permitted non-student’s articles to be published.
I keep hearing Obama has spent millions to hide his records. Where would anyone find that information? I don’t believe other presidents routinely release college info or detailed medical records other than the “clean bill of health” their doctors provide. Some college records have been obtained from sources for presidents, but I am not aware of any president who has released college records on their own. I would appreciate being shown if I am wrong. From interviews with people Obama went to college with, it has been established he used drugs and made bad grades until Columbia, where by his own admission, he buckled down. Still, I don’t see how he got into Harvard without near-perfect grades all the way through. I think that is where the Saudi connection comes in. Why, though, would a Saudi want to see him succeed at Harvard????
Excellent Post.
The basketball coach at Obama’s high school in Hawaii talked about Obama’s skills in that sport (about average)
Lawrence Tribe at Harvard Law School has said Obama was an excellent student.
But what about high school buddies, fellow team members why didn’t members of the press interview them. Certainly after a person is nominated for President or Vice President members of the media everyone they can that knew the cadidate. Not so in Obama’s case.
Obama graduated in 1984 from Columbia. His name must be on the list of graduates. Was that list published in one or more of the New York papers.
Oh, for crying out loud! There are multiple sources of how they met. Just google it. They met while dumbnuts Obama was an intern at Sibley Austin. By the way, Bill Ayers’ wife, Bernadine Dohrn, worked there as well. Some law firm. Would love to see those files.
I read she had hers inactivated when Obama was elected to the state senate. Please provide the source for why both their licenses were pulled. I hate unsubstantiated rumors.
We do know two things about 0bama.
He likes to play golf.
He wants to bankrupt the coal industry.
either you forgot the sarcasm tag or you just proved the point of this thread.
Got it. You're calling people liars but you can't find a source for your "facts."
Each and every one of us in the 40+ year old range has met hundreds possibly thousands of people in life’s meanderings, a percentage of those probably would account some interaction in detail, even for people who don’t get out much. Barry seems to lack this trait. Shy of the two perhaps three childhood aquaintances, then a large gap post-highschool, then his lefty friends in chicago, Barry is virtually unknown. A walking “records sealed by court order” person.
Good question, and it appears it is inactive under court order.
See: “What happened to Michelle Obama’s law license?”
http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=105998
Records at the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois list her status as “voluntarily inactive and not authorized to practice law.”
It further states that Michelle license is “on court ordered inactive status.”
How would you explain his having an article published in the student magazine at Columbia in 1983??

Michelle met Barack Obama when she was employed as a corporate attorney with the law firm Sidley Austin. They married in 1992 and have two daughters, 9-year-old Malia and 6-year-old Sasha. The family has continued living in Chicago rather moving to Washington D.C. when Barack Obama was elected Senator, to accommodate Michelle’s career with the University of Chicago Medical Center.

She met Barack Obama when she was a 25-year-old lawyer at a corporate law firm, having just left Harvard Law School.
Because he was a student??? Is that a trick question?
