An Obama classmate from Columbia University called him out this week for stirring up a bogus smear campaign against Romney over his taxes, insisting that Obama's motive is not only to distract voters from the worst economic recovery in post-WWII history, but also to avoid a far more scandalous and devastating skeleton Obama has hiding in his own closet...buried deep inside those college records he still refuses to unseal (and has paid millions to keep under lock and key).
From Wayne Allyn Root (via The Blaze):
"If anyone should have questions about Obama’s record at Columbia University, it’s me. We both graduated (according to Obama) Columbia University, Class of ’83. We were both (according to Obama) Pre-Law and Political Science majors. And I thought I knew most everyone at Columbia. I certainly thought I’d heard of all of my fellow Political Science majors. But not Obama (or as he was known then- Barry Soetoro). I never met him. Never saw him. Never even heard of him. And none of the classmates that I knew at Columbia have ever met him, saw him, or heard of him.
But don’t take my word for it. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2008 that Fox News randomly called 400 of our Columbia classmates and never found one who had ever met Obama."
In other words, Obama is going to great lengths to prevent the release of his records from a school that no one remembers him attending (which means he either completely lied about graduating there or failed a lot of classes, which would prevent him from getting financial aid) and that he had no means of paying for at the time.

Where Was Obama?
Dr. Orly Taitz that has a shocking revelation. It seems Obama went missing for more than a year in 1981 when he was supposed to be at Columbia. That’s also the year that Obama said he went to Pakistan for the summer.
The following paragraphs have been extracted from Taitz’ First Amended Complaint, filed at the U. S. District Court for the District of Columbia:
27. Further records from the Student Clearing House show even more shocking evidence. In his memoirs and multiple speeches Obama wrote that he studied for two years at Columbia University September 1981-May 1983. He admitted that in summer of 1981 he traveled to Pakistan to visit his friends, but repeatedly claimed that from September 1981 until May of 1983 he resided in New York and studied at Columbia University. Taitz ran a check of his years of attendance at Columbia university and found out that Columbia official records show him attending Columbia university only for nine months September 1982-till May 1983 (Exhibit 3 — last line — click to enlarge), which means that the President of the United States lied to the whole nation about his whereabouts for a whole year September 1981 until September 1982. One year absence is the best case scenario, as he could get his university credit by reciprocity or through extern studies.
28. As there is no record of Obama residing anywhere else in the United States from September 1981-September 1982, or attending any other university, by way of simple deduction it becomes clear that his visit to Pakistan lasted not a month or two, as he claims, but may have lasted for over a year.
29. In 1981-1982 Pakistan was ruled by a ruthless radical Muslim leader general Zia Ul Hac, who came to power as a result of a military coup, announced himself as a Chief Martial Law Administrator and ruled the country via the system of iron fist terror. Supreme court of Pakistan, apparently afraid for their lives found such rule to be acceptable due to a “necessity” doctrine. Based on verification of Columbia university records, Taitz found that Obama spent at least a year within the regime of general Zia Ul Hac. This revelation adds urgency in processing this complaint, as it shows that we have today an individual usurping the position of the President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of the whole US military, while using a stolen social security number, not possessing a valid long form U.S. birth certificate and defrauding the nation and concealing a whole year of his whereabouts.

Taitz is something of a loose cannon, but that is an interesting artifact that she has uncovered.
Watch for the announcement from the National Student Clearinghouse describing Taitz’ discovery as a data entry error, but in any case this isn’t going to help Obama’s Columbia story.
Obama’s “Missing Year” At Columbia
Jerome Corsi says swirling amid the black hole of information are a host of theories about Obama’s whereabouts during the 1981-1982 school year, so WorldNetDaily contacted the National Student Clearinghouse and Columbia about the clearinghouse records that show Obama was at the school only during the 1982-83 school year.
Janine Greenwood, vice president and general counsel for the clearinghouse, told WND there was a “computer error” in their system that has been corrected. She said she confirmed with Columbia that Obama was at the university for two academic years, not one.
Greenwood said she “tried to untangle this” discrepancy one year ago after two “DegreeVerify certificates” from the Herndon, Va.-based clearinghouse — obtained through a fee-based request — indicated Obama attended Columbia College at Columbia University only in the 1982-1983 academic year, from Sept. 1, 1982 until May 31, 1983, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree May 17, 1983.
“All I know is [the record] was right originally, and somewhere along the line it went off the rails, and then it was right again,” she said.
Columbia’s Robert Hornsby said he was unaware of any contact between Columbia and the National Student Clearinghouse regarding the discrepancy.
In the Thursday interview, Hornsby said regarding the clearinghouse’s information: “I don’t know what they’re basing their information on or what their system is for logging, but I can confirm, as a matter of fact, that President Obama was here in September 1981 as a transfer student from Occidental.”
Asked whether he had personally seen a transcript that would verify Obama attended classes during the 1981-82 school year, Hornsby said, “You’re looking for proof I cannot provide.”
He noted academic records are protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, “and we don’t talk about any student’s academic records, presidents or otherwise.”
Hornsby said his information is based on confirmation from “people that have the authority” in the registrar’s office.
Which Columbia?
Obama attended Columbia School of General Studies. If a General Studies student completes enough courses, and/or has other credits from elsewhere accepted, a student can receive a degree. People confuse Columbia University, Columbia College, and Columbia General Studies. A big university system has many different schools and colleges attached.
Of course, what Columbia University will not release is exactly what Obama actually did while in their General Studies degree program.
Undergraduate education at Columbia is offered through Columbia College, the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, and the School of General Studies. Undergraduate programs are offered by two affiliated institutions, Barnard College and Jewish Theological Seminary. Columbia University provides post-graduate education through thirteen graduate and professional schools and a school of continuing education. Three affiliated schools also offer post-graduate programs.

With all of the students who attended Harvard University and Columbia University you would think at least one of them would have a yearbook with a picture of the one in it or a photograph of him engaged in his daily activity.
Also since Obama claims to have been the editor of the Harvard Law Review I would think they would have plastered his face at least once on the paper.But then again I’m just using common sense.
My understanding is he was formally (under Indonesian law, I’d presume) adopted by Pere Soetoro. How does that affect US citizenship? I don’t know and am simply asking. I’d be surprised if there is any provision for dual citizenship between the USA and Indonesia but life is and most days are full of surprises. In the meantime keep questioning everything about this bastard’s (in the literal sense) tall tale. He’s not the kind who can handle it and sooner or later will break down in a very public manner.
Hussein’s a plant of the worst sort. Someone here yesterday I think connected all the dots to Iran.
Either way, America’s worst enemy is at the helm and more than half of American voters are complicit in epic fraud and hate.
Of course there is a way. It is called a congressional subpoena. Obama's "lock and key" could not withstand a congressional subpoena.....if congress cared, and they do not. They have skeletons in their closets too.
Back when the Clinton scandals were first getting out there I remember a woman gleefully stating ‘You're never going to be able to get him. He's too smart for you and you'll never catch him.’ etc. etc. My point being that a lot of Obama supporters could care less what he's guilty of, as long as he doesn't get caught and therefore continues to be able to do their bidding.
This has become commonplace in American society. As long as their guy is ‘sticking it to those rich privileged people’, and giving out free stuff, they don't care where he came from or if he's a total fabrication. The only time any allegations about Obama bother them is when they're afraid it will keep him from being reelected and screwing the people they don't like. It's an incredibly divided country we live in, and ethics have become expendable.
One of the dozen German students was black. I remember his face. I don’t remember his name. Very nice guy, but had trouble with pronunciation.
I remember the “Che Guevera wanna be” Poli-Sci TA, who always showed up to “indoctrinate” wearing the fatigue pants. Yeah, like she was gonna go man the barricades right after a latte. Moody & I made running jokes about her while drinking beers. I’m sure she’s a died in the wool 0bama kool-aid guzzler who hasn’t aged well. But damned if I can remember her name.
Film clips show Oboma as a radical black organizer on campus. If he was there for more than activism - for what ever reason - people would remember. Apparently, he made a lot of noise if nothing else.
That's why I've always wondered why he had no known friends or girl friends from his college years talking about how wonderful he was (like the democrats claim). The only people, other than this person, who have come forward are two of Obomas homosexual sex partners.
“Other than Keane and Stephanie, I don’t remember any of the other poli sci or German majors, and I doubt any of the others now remember me.”
But you did not become president. Usually you have people coming out of the woodwork saying they went to school with you or were your friend once you are that prominent.
From the Obamafile:
Could a pep talk from the first African-American President “do some good” for minority students as the WSJ editors argue? Back in September of last year Steve Gilbert of Sweetness and Light pondered over our first African-American president’s prior academic performance:
“By his own admission, Obama spent his final two years in high school skipping classes, playing basketball, doing cocaine and getting drunk.”
After high school, Gilbert notes the following about Obama:
“Similarly, his admission to Harvard Law School is highly questionable. Where are his LSAT scores? And how does one graduate from Columbia without honors and yet get accepted at Harvard Law? Lastly, his ascendency to the Presidency of the Harvard Law school would appear to have also been a case of blatant affirmative action, since the student Obama had only written one legal paper — and that was quite short and remarkably undistinguished. So where are his grade transcripts?”
Many of us had to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for our learning because our gender and skin color actively worked against us on college admissions panels. There were others however who could get drunk, do cocaine, skip class and still make it to the Ivy League. Why?
A set of wore out knee pads that Chris Matthews wore each time he serviced him.
Is there any evidence that he was ever actually enrolled at Columbia?
Officially perhaps. But the transcripts would leak. We've seen Dem functionaries pry this type of privileged information from supposedly secure databases before. Divorce records, tax returns, college transcripts... none of these things can remain an absolute secret if there's an "R" after your name.
Again, I don’t doubt that 0bama does not want any of his “activities” at Columbia to be exposed. They would not cast him in a favorable light. And there were people who knew him back then. But think about why nobody has come forward: they were, and still are, all communists like he is. I had my group of friends at IU, too. I wouldn’t want them to come forward and “tell all” about my college days. I sure as hell would not get elected President if everyone knew.
My point is that outside of that group, which was probably pretty small, nobody is going to now remember 0bama. There were rabble-rousers in the IU poli-sci department, but they didn’t interest me because I had a different political outlook and there was beer to drink. I don’t remember them today. Inside 0bama’s group, nobody is going to talk. And of course, the press won’t push the issue because they are in the tank.
The author opines that Obama never switched back to being an American citizen. I’m not sure how that would work. He was the child of an American parent who then lived abroad, I don’t think that made him an Indonesian.”””
Sranley Ann married Lolo Soetoro & went to Indonesia.
Indonesia DOES NOT recognise dual citizenship-—not then—not now.
Stanley Ann made Barry an Indonesian citizen so he could attend school there.
Prior grade (elementary) school records from Indonesia show Barry as being an Indonesian citizen, with MUSLIM as being his stated religion.
Apparently, Barry could influence the officials in Hawaii into whatever he wanted hidden there, but he could not supress the records in Indonesia.
I say he got his college admission as a Foreign Aid Student-—which would NEVER apply if he was an American citizen instead. Foreign Aid students pay about 10% of normal tuition rates.
The lies surrounding Barry Hussain Obama are going to be fodder for authors & nooks for YEARS to come.
However, since we are so close to Civil War in the USA over Barry’s policies & destruction of the American businesses & families, it might be 30 years or more before publishing of books resumes.
RE: Are there really colleges that track attendance?
YES. I know of two.
My daughter attends Grove City College in PA and you better not be absent more than 10% of the time from classes or you’re dropped.
My nephew attends Hillsdale College in Michigan and the policy is the same.
