You know, the college that published the poem in its literary magazine.

A man known for his political convictions, autobiographies and impassioned speeches, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is now receiving attention for something new - his poetry.

Kevin Batton (senior) reported on Obama's two poems, "Pop" and "Underground," both found in the Spring 1982 issue of Feast, Occidental's former literary magazine. Over a month after the Weekly published Batton's article, various media sources have used these findings to cover and comment on Obama's poetry, often mentioning Occidental College in the process.

Obama's poetry skills draw scrutiny

And you believe that Obama would put Davis's name on a school paper that he was suppose to write himself? You truly are an ignorant soul.
