Per the NYT article linked in ETL's post at #215, it appears there's quite a bit of hyperbole going on in this thread, with the claims that absolutely nobody remembers him from Columbia:

"One person who did remember Mr. Obama was Michael L. Baron, who taught a senior seminar on international politics and American policy. Mr. Baron, now president of an electronics company in Florida, said he was Mr. Obama’s adviser on the senior thesis for that course. Mr. Baron, who later wrote Mr. Obama a recommendation for Harvard Law School, gave him an A in the course. . . . Michael J. Wolf, who took the seminar with him and went on to become president of MTV Networks, said: “He was very smart. He had a broad sense of international politics and international relations. It was a class with a lot of debate. He was a very, very active participant. I think he was truly distinctive from the other people in that class. He stood out.”

Well, that’s 2 out of 400.

I don’t think anyone is saying Obama didn’t attend Columbia, just that it’s odd that “no one” remembers him, and there’s no picture of him in the yearbook.

Columbia is the only school Obama attended that didn’t honor his coup d’état. Why not?

You must admit that this is curious.
