I apologize.

Here's my excuse, if you are in the mood for an excuse.

There suddenly is a suspicious amount of renewed activity on old stuff right now ... stuff that has been outed, vetted, hashed and rehashed for 3 years. Now the new wave of stuff is trotting it all out again ... but oddly enough with many all already-disproven inaccuracies, misstatements, and just plain wrong info.

I really suspect a campaign of misinformation and misdirection. Why now are Hannity, Beck, AND Rush jumping on the "College Records" bandwagon? This stuff has been out there since '06! Now they are quoting Root? A "Columbia Man" with lousy grammar and not-quite-right factoids? WTF? Over.

Perhaps they are setting an elaborate trap for Obama and his harping on Mitt's tax records ... which as POTUS he has instant access to anyway ... I don't know ... I no like.

I am getting twitchy and itchy. Somethin' Ain't right here.

It’s okay, no wurries. I just got it and never saw it before and as you say there’s all kinds of stuff out there that surly needs vetting before posting. I was just curious if anyone else has seen it before and what is its provenance.

A "Columbia Man" with lousy grammar and not-quite-right factoids?

Have you ever heard Harvard man, obie, speak without a teleprompter?

I gotta tell you, the suspense is building.

WHAT are a couple of those inaccurate ‘facts’ you’ve kept alluding to for the past day or so?

In 2008 before the election, I happened to be at a dinner with the 'Columbia Man' Wayne Allyn Root. Never noticed any bad grammar. He is the real deal i.e., Columbia College, Class of 1983, valedictorian. He told me something that has not been reported or mentioned by him recently as far as I know: Root was named the "Most Successful Graduate" of that class when it held its 20 year reunion in 2003. By that time Root was a multimillionaire developer. Why does this factoid matter"

Because in 2003, Obama was already a well known State Senator in Illinois preparing to run for the U.S. Senate. Yet, according to Root, Obama wasn't even invited to the 20th reunion. He hadn't yet highlighted his 'graduation' from Columbia as a Senatorial or Presidential candidate.

I think some of this old info is back again because more people are paying attention this go around. A lot of people paid no attention 4 1/2 years ago when this fraud was thrust onto the world stage. The media sure didn't vet him, so an unfortunately large number of “independents” thought they were being all uber-evolved and voted for the “historic” choice. With McCain as the other choice...I can see how we ended up where we are.

Anyway, a LOT of people see the country circling the drain and hear people fighting about Obama/Romney....People that are pretty much out of the loop. I think all the little rumor and innuendo that floated last time are coming up again, for good reason--NO ANSWERS. The Root commentary is back because his MAIN POINT is worth looking into.

....And with Obama going negative to the extreme, ALREADY, I think it's great that Limbaugh, etc., put this out into the public consciousness yet again.

Root may not be the best writer in the world, but his theory about Obama’s years at Columbia ring somewhat true. I have my own theory about Mr. Obama, that being that Frank Marshall Davis (his bio daddy IMHO) opened the doors of the old Chicago Communist Party to BHO. Frank worked closely with Val Jarret's father in law (perhaps grandfather...but I think it was father in law)and close members of Axlerod’s family. Once Barry got in this with this group, he caught Thomas Ayers eye, as Ayers was looking for a black guy puppet to eventually run for Mayor and take back the eduction cabal run aground by a black power structure. Ayers paid his way up and out of crappy Oxy, when crappy graded Barry got an unheard of 3rd year transfer to Columbia, then greased the skids all the way up to and including the Harvard Law Review presidency. Bill Ayers then wrote DREAMS and helped him with the forgery of those tedious loose ends, like the Selective Service card. Barry started his political life in Bill Ayers living room and he was off to the races.

So....my take on your post: I think it's only a good thing if a former Obama "independent", paying attention for the first time, reads Root and begins their own little research project. They will quickly figure out what has been debunked. Mr. Roots theory HAS NOT BEEN.
