‘Never heard of him’: Notable Columbia prof says he isn’t sure Obama attended Columbia University

In a recent interview, a well-known professor who taught at Columbia University for 46 years questioned whether or not President Obama actually attended the Ivy League school.

Prominent Columbia professor Henry Graff says he isn't sure President Obama ever attended the Ivy League school.

“I taught every significant politician that ever studied at Columbia,” said Columbia Emeritus Professor of History Henry Graff, in an interview last week with Wayne Root, a contributor at The Blaze. “Between American History and Diplomatic History, one way or another, they all had to come through my classes.”

“Not Obama,” he continued. “I never had a student with that name in any of my classes. I never met him, never saw him, never heard of him.”

Graff alleged that “none of the other Columbia professors knew him either” and said he is “very upset” to hear Obama referred to as a graduate of Columbia University.

“I am angry when I hear Obama called ‘the first President of the United States from Columbia University,’” he said. “I don’t consider him a Columbia student. I have no idea what he did on the Columbia campus. No one knows him.”

Graff is the recipient of the Kaul Foundation Award of Excellence in the field of education, an honor that is tied to a prize of $100,000. He is the author of multiple books and is known for teaching the first course on the history of the Presidency.

No, this isn’t Glenn’s bombshell. This story has been out there for more than a week:

My guess as to Glenn’s bombshell: We will never know.

The more I see these stories, the more I believe everything about Zero is just all made up— everything. Photos of family and all.. He’s probally just a illegal alien that has someone else’s identity.. A legal citizen would have a legit Social Security number.. Even Someone that came here to be a citizen would have a legit SS#.. I Betcha he is a Illegal alien..

Why he is allowed to hold office of POTUS is what you should really be worried about.

Like sheep to the slaughter.

You mean this prof never saw a big eared idiot walking around with a teleprompter who is so geographically challenged he thinks America has 57 states?

The way he was crying about his family and how none of us are stepping up like he is, etc... I assume that story is as buried as the reason Justice Roberts changed his opinion on Obamacare.

I don’t think Obama went to Columbia either.

I spent a few hours search for scans of the graduation bulletins for the year he supposedly graduated. I couldn’t find one that listed him anywhere. Please note I am not talking about some list but the actual bulletin.

It would be interesting if someone in NYC spent some time in the Colombia library. I bet they have those on file, most universities keep copies in either paper or micro-form copies. Did he even appear on the list of graduates? If he did I cannot find it.

The other possibility is that at least at Occidental the Obamanation of Desolation used the last name Soetareo (sp?) to get aide as a foreign student leftist are amazingly dumb sometimes and most of them don’t know that name. There is also a chance that they do not think a conservative would do that and so are not expecting it. I wonder if a request from another university, maybe a small one some where for a transcript would be filled? As the people that make those request know though gaining the transcript under false pretense is a rather serious crime

Looks like a life insurance policy on Dr. Graff may be in order.

Think any company would take that on ?

Illegal alien definitely seems to fit the evidence. He was in his youth an Indonesian citizen which means his parents had to renounce his American citizenship as he was a minor. His parents renouncing his citizenship makes that citizenship just as renounced and null as if he had done it himself as an adult. He never went through the procedure of repatriation, reclaiming his American citizenship. He is therefore an ALIEN and as he is not here on any sort of visa he is ILLEGAL. That part of his story is overt and publicly known. All of that was known before he ran for President. The truth of a matter means nothing if the MSM refuses to acknowledge it.Even if the people know the truth of something, if they do not see MSM acknowledge it then it is as nothing. The People accept, even if they do not believe, MSM's description of reality.

Newsflash: I’m not sure President Hussein ever attended my small Ivy League school. I never saw or heard about him on my campus.
