NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA ( But heck, we're all just racist birthers...yea right! )
antimullah.com ^ | 10/18/2009 | Alan Peters

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. I'm not exaggerating, I'm not kidding." Root adds that he was also, like Obama, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" 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. Is that not strange?

It's very strange." 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.

NOTE: Root graduated as Valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School, then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major (in the same class as President Barack Obama WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN IN)

LoLi hear ya.. I was thinking of electronic records, and reports from interships etc.. As a side note:I had an instructor who used previous student projects as examples for new students. (He even kept one of mine) He still had them some yrs later. (I stayed in touch w/him for a little while)

Yes, if there is a particularly good project, I might keep it for such a purpose. But that is really the exception. Maybe 1 out of 200.

Since you stayed in touch with your prof, you were probably an exceptional student and made an impression on him. Of a typical class, only a handful of students will do that. Most are very forgetable.

I'd be hardpressed even to remember the faces of medicore students even from as early as 2 years ago.

I know I’m getting off the subject matter..this particular instructor made an impression on me... He was great, and even influenced my own future parenting. In one lecture he said to the students (some of which were parents) “why do highschoolers need cars? They don’t!”.. He believes a lot of kids are in trouble today because of being spoiled, lack of discipline, and minimal supervision— he didn’t hesitate to let everyone in the class know it. Rare Gem he was..(Or is) He was in criminal justice, and had been a probation and parole dept supervisor. One thing he said that hit home to all of us was (paraphrasing) “I’ve dealt with your kids, I’ve seen the end project”.. Stop spoiling kids and teach discipline. Rare to hear that from a professor! ;-)

Good stuff!

What about this? -- Last line:

Obama’s alma maters -- from his high school to his graduate school -- are planning to claim a small piece of the president-elect at gatherings throughout the inaugural week.

Punahou School alum Steve Case, founder of America Online, will host a brunch for about 250 people, Saint Chu said, many of whom will be making the trek from Hawaii.

Occidental College’s gathering on January 19th will host about 250 people, including alum and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Steve Coll.

"The reaction has been terrific," said Jim Jacobs, Occidental’s director of alumni relations, saying their 250 reservations are "more than we ever anticipated" for the free celebration.

More than 1,000 Harvard Law School grads have paid $100 per ticket to attend a Sunday, Jan. 18th brunch at the historic Willard Intercontinental Hotel, once a common place to spot President Abraham Lincoln. It will be hosted by the school’s dean and recently-tapped U.S. Solicitor General, Elena Kagan.

Only Columbia is not hosting a big party for their presidential grad.

Do you know anything about that?

I suspected that he attended General Studies, but never have seen that written anywhere. Is this your theory, or did you see it stated elsewhere? Also, I had never heard that the College would issue degrees to GS students. Are you sure that this is correct? I am a Columbia College ‘78 graduate.

I also thought that Obama may have been in the School of General Studies, but according to the University he was in Columbia College.

It's not uncommon for students at large state schools to be virtually anonymous -- unknown to their thousands of classmates. That may be true of SGS as well, so it's possible at Columbia.

What may be more interesting than this speculation is that, according the the university, Obama wasn't an honors graduate. I don't know how they did things at Columbia in the Eighties, but that may reflect low grades.

Where are the classmates and chums from Occidental and Columbia, and Harvard law school? No frat brothers? No law school friends? What about high school and elementary school friends? Could they all have been neutralized?

Besides his BC, why are these Obama documents off-limits to Americans?

1. Certified copy of original birth certificate
2. Columbia University transcripts
3. Columbia thesis paper
4. Campaign donor analysis requested by 7 major watchdog groups
5. Harvard University transcripts
6. Illinois State Senate records
7. Illinois State Senate schedule
8. Law practice client list and billing records/summary
9. Locations and names of all half-siblings and step-mothers
10. Medical records (only the one page summary released so far)
11. Occidental College Transcripts
12. Parent’s marriage Certificate
13. Record of baptism
14. Selective Service registration records
15. Schedules for trips outside of the United States before 2007
16. Scholarly articles
17. Access to his grandmother (now passed away)
18. List of all campaign workers that are lobbyists
19. Punahou grade school records

LOL. Always so quick to cover the marxist’s tracks for him. And of course Khalid al-Mansour wasn’t involved in supporting him either.

0bama’s Noelani Kindergarten records are oddly missing from the the State of Hawaii Department of Education.

This is an important feature because K-records for original school entry would have contained the following:

1. His REAL Birth Certificate.

2. An application with the following:

—1. His Legal name.
—2. Parents or Legal Guardians’ names.
—3. Date of Birth
—4. Place of Birth
—5. Vaccination Records
(revealing a timeline to the place and DOB.)

It also is important for two reasons:

A. The Dept. of Education does not “lose” the records of one particular student. (Who paid whom what sum to make this record disappear?)

B. There would have been NO shameful low-test scores, NO embarrassing Equal Opportunity advancements, and NO trails of fraudulent funding to hide which could possibly ‘excuse’ the quashing of public school Kindergarten entry records.

For the rest of his life he attended very expensive private schools and has had his records legally sealed to deny the public, his true life story.

This is different. Hawaii should be able to verify he attended their school since he is featured in class photographs. State and federal tax dollars paid for his initial year of education. Why is there no documentation?

This is the ‘tip of the iceberg’ of an intentionally erased life of a fraudulent conman and it reeks of complicity by officials within the State of Hawaii’s Dept. of Health & Dept. of Education.

What the heck more could you possibly want? Rather than criticize our Anointed Saviour, you should praise him. Rather than spend many millions of dollars on a Presidential Library, like Bill Clinton and the Bushes, Obama’s Presidential Library will be on a dedicated shelf in the back room at Hub’s Beeline Wheel Alignment and Garage, in Burlington, NC. (Hub has already cleaned out the space. In exchange for $500,000 in Federal Stimulus Money, he moved the Marvel Mystery Oil and a box of Pine Tree Fresheners.)

I can’t find my source (may be a Freep mail or a doc) about this, but there are at least a dozen mates K-12; 6-7 at Occidental; recently I found about 3-4 (in addition to Phil) at Columbia (but friends?, or just have incentive to say that they went to school with him?), and a couple from Harvard (same questions as Columbia).

I found about 4-5 old classmates who say they attended his wedding.

The internet has a story about Obama being registered as a foreign student at Occidental College -- I believe that story ha sbeen debunked and is known to be untrue.

How was it debunked if no records have been released by Occidental? What country issued his passport?...the one he used to travel to Pakistan when you couldn't go there with a US passport?
