This whole thing started because Obama never attended Columbia, yet “somehow” got a degree.

His mom's boss was based at Columbia. Not sure what to make of it. And he was Tim Geithner's dad. Again, not sure what to make of it.

I feel like I'm being hunted by tin foil hats - I keep trying to avoid them, but they keep pouncing on me...

“Who is Timothy Geithner?

Morgan Reynolds, who served as chief economist for the US Department of Labor during 2001–2, George W. Bush’s first term, has done a little fact checking on the new Treasury Secretary:

Who is Geithner? He is a creature of the eastern banking establishment and ruling class through and through. His résumé nicely matches his actions in handing out government money and guarantees to the “right people.” Geithner’s father Peter is director of the Asia program at the Ford Foundation. Peter Geithner oversaw the “microfinance” programs developed in Indonesia by Ann Dunham-Soetoro, Barack Obama’s mother. Geithner’s maternal grandfather, Charles F. Moore, was an adviser to President Eisenhower and vice president of Ford Motor Company, according to Wikipedia. Geithner’s wife Carole Marie, like Geithner a 1983 graduate of Dartmouth College (Ivy League), is daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Sonnenfeld of Princeton, N.J., a professor of French and comparative literature at Princeton University (Ivy League) for 27 years.”

Thus, Obama and Tim Geithner most probably were childhood friends. Remember Tony Rezko? Obama used Rezko to launder about $100 million of taxpayer dollars while Obama was still a State Senator. Geithner is Obama’s right hand in accessing the Tony Rezkos (people like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates) of the national level for Obama and the Democrats while he’s President. That’s why that with all this trouble about AIG, Obama is still not going to get rid of Geithner. Geithner is a valuable tool for them to rob this country through its national policies.

Peter Geithner (Tim’s Father) was director of the Asia program at the Ford Foundation. Peter Geithner oversaw the “microfinance” programs developed in Indonesia by Ann Dunham-Soetoro, Barack Obama’s mother.

Obama's mother worked for Geithner's father?

There's no such thing as a coincidence in politics...or anywhere else, for that matter.

No Mystery:We know that Obama was only a so-so student at Punahou. He could not have had very good SATs, or he almost certainly would not have wound up at very so-so left-wing Occidental College.

Mystery: What exactly did Obama study or do at Occidental and what were his grades? Another Occidental mystery set: did he receive aid as a "Foreign Student?" Who's "Chandoo?" FYI: That's the Paki who supported the Obama lifestyle at the time. Some people at the time were under the impression that they were a "gay couple."

No Mystery:After two years at Occidental he entered the Columbia School of General Studies. Ayers had a connection through his sister-in-law to Columbia UNIVERSITY, as did Geithner, etc. etc. Obviously, his pals set this up.

No Mystery:The School of General Studies is pretty much a walk-in -and-pay-your-money-for-the-course-you-want deal. If you later want to convert those courses to a degree program, Columbia is only too happy to do that for you.

Listen up: Columbia is a for-real Ivy League School. However the Ivy-Covered part is Columbia College, reserved for smart high-SAT students from top high schools and preps, or good prep football players and oarsmen. The rest of the joint is pretty much like any other giant university, all of which have schools of General Studies. Like the others, Columbia's is staffed by adjunct academic riff-raff, subway commies from NYC who give weird seminars in the middle of the night or on weekends. In general, the General Studies setup resembles Seinfeld outakes. The chances of a for-real Columbia College student meeting a General Studies oddball, much less pal-ing around with one are ... well ... nil.

Mystery: What exactly did Obama study or do at Columbia and what were his grades? Who paid for it? Who paid for the trip to Pakistan?

Real Big Mystery: Why is The Good Reverend Manning mixing good apples with bad oranges? Any literate 10-year old from the streets of NY knows all of the Columbia factoids. If you can remember back that far, even Bill Clinton's handlers tried to float a mysterious CIA connection to explain his missing wanderjahr behind the Iron Curtain.

By setting up easily disproven propositions which mix mighty little fact with far-fetched innuendo, and in all the wrong places, The Good Reverend Manning is copying the marketing model of an attractive Russian Lady Dentist of whom I know.

Why?
