Columbia Ping

Why are the college records, of a 51-year-old President of the United States, so important to keep secret? I think I know the answer.
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 has 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.

I guess the Obummers are hiding amongst us.
Absolutely, one day the world will “discover” what we all knew before he was elected. That there is something in eligible about him, that he was groomed for years to be the first communist Muslim President of the USA, brung to the dance by our enemies.
I just picture the miserable little trust fund sh**head Bill Ayers, coming off having blown up his own girlfriend with his bomb making in the basement, absolutely drooling like a fox when “plump hen” Obama walked into his lair. How perfect. A white talking, attractive black man who already believes all the communist BS and who is attention starved and needy enough to sell his soul for adulation and prestige. And gay enough to be blackmail able by the same handlers to keep him singing the right tunes.. “Hell, Boys! Put down the TNT! We are going into the White House through the front door this time!!”
And you bet they got foreign soros and Muslim money for this Manchurian candidate.
All these idiots, black and white, who so wanted to be a part of voting for thr First Black President... They would have voted for Uncle Ben just to be Historic.. The handlers knew from the start this guy would bamboozle them all.
It is the only plausible scenario to explain why he hides all of is important documents, i.e. birth certificate etc. It is the only statement that fits all the missing facts.
I think it's highly unusual for someone American-born to fake being some other nationality (not flippant verbal fakery, but serious DOCUMENTED fakery) for the sake of obtaining some sort of financial advantage, e.g. a scholarship.
I think the evidence is strong that BO wasn't even born here.
Valerie Jarret’s father-in-law was Vernon Jarret a syndicated columnist for the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun Times as well as Chicago’s ABC-TV.
“Vernon Jarrett, was an associate of Frank Marshall Davis, the controversial labor movement activist who has been identified as an early influence on Obama. Vernon Jarrett and Davis worked together in 1940 in a Communist Party-dominated organization, the Citizen’s Committee to Aid Packing House Workers. The group’s own correspondence, previously uncovered by the New Zeal blog, describes its communist influence. Many of its leaders were tied to the Communist Party.”

If you read the next post, I corrected it. I had gotten that information from the Obama file. I think that he has deleted it now, also.
I am not sure but I don’t believe we have aid for foreign students. In fact, they are often preferred because they do not need aid; their home countries pay full tuition for them to attend USA colleges.
Since Obama had Indonesian citizenship, he may have gotten aid from Indonesia to attend Occidental as a foreign student. Some colleges will prefer out of country students due to the payments they bring in. This may have been his way into American university.
And it also means that, whether or not it was true, our President of the United States, under penalty of perjury, as an adult, checked the box marked NO after the question “Are you an American citizen?”
Interesting about the name change speculations...I was recently in court changing my name...there was an Hispanic guy there before me who changed his name from “Miguel Y” to Nicholas Putin or some other Russian name...the judge wanted to know what the name meant and the guy said “I don’t know sir, I don’t speak Russian”!!!!!!!!!
Actually, I received that exact same information in a chain email yesterday. Exact, as in word for word.
“Of course, maybe he arranged it so he was “present” without really doing any of the work.”
Carol Platt Liebau who was at Harvard the same time as Obama and occasionally fills in for Hugh Hewitt has said as much of Obama when he was head of the Harvard Law Review. She said he just wanted to attain the position, but not do any of the work. Also, link below that contains audio of her filling in for Hewitt and talking again about Obama.
Carol Platt Liebau was the first female editor of Harvard Law Review, and worked under Obama at HLR. She described her experience with Obama as follows.
“A lot of the time he quote/unquote “worked from home”, which was sort of a shorthand – and people would say it sort of wryly – shorthand for not really doing much.
“He just wasn’t around. Most of the day to day work was carried out by the managing editor of the Review, my predecessor, Tom Pirelli.”
“Pirelli’s the one who did most of the day to day work. Barack Obama was nowhere to be seen. Occasionally he would drop in he would talk to people, and then he’d leave again as though his very arrival had been a benediction in and of itself, but not very much got done.”
In 2008, Harvard Law classmate, law review colleague remembered Obama as ‘a pretty cold fish’

While details from President Barack Obama’s college years are scant, with the exception of a few acquaintances’ recollections, in 2008 one of his Harvard Law classmates offered a few seldom-heard remembrances of the president’s time at Harvard.
Conservative commentator Carol Platt Liebau, author of “Prude: How the Sex-Obsessed Culture Damages Girls (and America, Too!),” guest hosted Hugh Hewitt’s February 22, 2008 radio show and described her relationship with Obama during her law school years. Despite his liberal slant, she said Obama was respectful of the conservative perspective when he was president of the Harvard Law Review.
“I knew him reasonably well — as well as most people knew him, if not better — because quite in contrast to this image that Barack tries to project, as someone who is warm and all-embracing and all that kind of stuff,” Liebau said.
“I mean, I will tell you I’ve written a piece that has praised Barack for certain things and I stand by that piece: He was color-blind in the way he chose, staffed the law review when he was president. He did give both sides a fair hearing. He always went with the far-left side, but he did give both sides a respectful hearing, which was fairly atypical at Harvard Law School at that time.”
The essay she referred to was published by Townhall.com in 2007. It described President Obama as a listener but “a liberal’s liberal.”
At the time of Liebau’s radio broadcast, Obama was being portrayed as a great unifier, which inspired bizarre reactions from the likes of MSNBC’s Chris Matthews. But Liebau said that was hardly the way he was viewed at Harvard.
“Quite in contrast to this all-embracing kind of ‘earth father’ image — this sort of messianic blaze of glory with which he’s deemed to envelope our television screens — he was a pretty cold fish,” she said
See my post right above where Carol Platt Liebau talks about Obama’s time as President of the Harvard Law Review. In the second link, there is audio of her talking about him as well as an article.
More of the article http://dailycaller.com/2012/06/03/harvard-law-classmate-law-review-colleague-remembered-obama-in-2008-a-pretty-cold-fish/:
“He was not a warm person. He was not the type of person that gave you a warm and fuzzy [feeling]. And you got the sense that he even wasn’t even terribly fixated or focused on what he was doing.”
Liebau also describe Obama as a guy “whose eyes were always looking over your shoulder to see if anyone more important is in the room” and that he was always looking for “bigger and better things.”
Her longest one-on-one communication with Obama, she said, came when she was managing editor of the Harvard Law Review.
“So I guess it caused a lot of rumbling that I didn’t know about, and so we were all impressed with a return visit by our retired president, the former president, Barack Obama, who took me out on the back steps of Gannett House, which is where the review was housed and wanted to have a little one-on-one with me,” she said.
Liebau said his advice started off sound, but ultimately came off as disappointing.
“He said, ‘Look, what do you care who does the work?’” Liebau recalled Obama saying in reference to her management of the law review. “’It is the same amount of work for you to hand out the work no matter who it goes to, so why fight it? Do what’s easiest for you. Give the work to the people who will do the work, and just don’t worry about the people who don’t want to pull their weight.’”
Liebau wasn’t impressed.
“I guess I was young and naïve: I was like, ‘Ah but that wouldn’t be fair,’” she said.
“And what surprised me is apparently that didn’t bother Barack at all. It was just kind of like — take the easy way out. Why bother yourself with all these silly notions about justice and fairness? Do what works. Revealing? I don’t know. Good advice? I didn’t particularly think so.”
“’Give the work to the people who will do the work, and just don’t worry about the people who don’t want to pull their weight.’”
Boy, that really says it all. That’s BO’s worldview, all right.
Doesn't it pretty much encapsulate it?
This article is a plant.
I think you’re right about his being admitted as a foreign exchange student. But that still doesn’t explain how nobody remembers him.
Columbia College is a small four year ivy league college. At schools like this, your class is like a family, and even years later, remains in touch.
The alumni office would be writing to him a few times a month for donations, there are reunions, and almost everyone shows up.
Where is his yearbook? Was he ever mentioned in the Columbia newspaper?
Also, classes at schools like Columbia are small, especially junior and senior year, with classes of 12-20 people not unusual.
If he went to el crappo Columbia School of General Studies, he could have gone unnoticed. But then, they usually don’t accept people from schools like that at Harvard Law School. What were his LSAT scores?
Something very suspicious here. This is the man from nowhere who leaves no tracks.
You would have to ask Tony Rezko about that Obama’s mortgage, but he’s in federal prison!
I don't know why even a foreign exchange student would be admitted with less-than-stellar grades (OK, maybe if he'd been a foreign exchange student they'd have cut him some slack on English language skills, but that would have been it).
