It is an interesting piece, but...

When I read that no one at Columbia remembered Obama, my first thought was: I resemble that. Very few of my undergrad university contemporaries would remember me. I was not a joiner. And while there were probably students on campus who "thought they knew most everyone" in my class, those were exactly the students I tried hardest to avoid.

The notion that Romney should swap his tax returns for Obama's Columbia transcript assumes that the leftist staff at Columbia would not release a doctored transcript to serve their messiah. They don't deserve that much trust. Even if the correct transcript was released, how would we know how many of Obama's leftist professors had adjusted his grades upward simply because of his race?

I am not one to defend Obama on anything, but I couldn't agree with you more.

If it wasn't for being a member of the lacrosse team, no one but my roommates, and a couple of women would remember me.

Heck, I have "bragged" through the years that I figured it out once. I only went to 20% of my classes (if that). I picked up my syllabus, put my tests on a calendar, went to class a week before each test to make sure it hadn't moved, and went for each test.

The rest of my time was spent playing lacrosse, playing Sega Genesis NHL hockey, sleeping, smoking, drinking, and womanizing.

Of course, I would never dare to run for President....

More importantly... does Obama resemble that? The personality traits of a student who prefers to disappear into the woodwork are not the character traits of the attention ho narcissist Mr. "Me Me Me, I I I."

The Won is a rabble-rouser by nature. Even his good buddy Ayers has a known history of activities consistent with his destructive belief system.
