Is this legit?
Smoking gun finally found?
APFN April 1, 2009
In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obamas qualifications for the presidency, the group Americans for Freedom of Information has released copies of President Obamas college transcripts from Occidental College. Released today, the transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the school. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship. This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obamas detractors have been seeking.
The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obamas legitimacy and qualification to serve as president. When reached for comment in London, where he has been in meetings with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Obama smiled but refused comment on the issue. Meanwhile, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs scoffed at the report stating that this was obviously another attempt by a right-wing conservative group to discredit the president and undermine the administrations efforts to move the country in a new direction.
Britains Daily Mail has also carried the story in a front-page article titled, Obama Eligibility Questioned, leading some to speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obamas first official visit to the U.K.
In a related matter, under growing pressure from several groups, Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obamas legal eligibility to serve as President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey. This lawsuit claims Obamas dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. Donofrios case is just one of 18 suits brought by citizens demanding proof of Obamas citizenship or qualification to serve as president.
Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obamas campaign spending. This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records. Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still ongoing but that the final report will be provided to the U.S. attorney general, Eric Holder. Mr. Holder has refused to comment on the matter.
Fred...book marking for tomorrow....I perused quickly but looks like stuff I want to look at...the whole “am I black or am i white thing”.
Probably never was there, and got an affirmative action degree in the mail.
where is barry’s hand in that picture? the left hand.
just curious
Whether or not he was in a foreign country, I have no doubt that he was being groomed during this time. I remember reading during the campaign last year that Bill Ayres was living a few blocks from Columbia University while Obama was in school there.
Remember that while Obama was at Columbia, William Ayers was living 4 blocks away from Columbia, working on a Masters at nearby Bank Street College (MA, 1984). Who were their roomates? Each other? We know from his books, Obama had a fascination with SDS and the Weathermen.
Both Ayers and Obama sat in on Middle East Studies Chairman Edward Said’s lectures and were impressed with him.
According to Cashill (AmericanThinker.com article) ,their books have remarkable descriptive overlap in this period.

Anyway, the secondary appeal of the video are these pictures of Obama that Moore took, cold chillin’ at college:
Here’s the President-Elect, during a period of time when he was known as “Kanye Blagojevich Obama.” [Not pictured: the Weather Underground.]
