Just common knowledge that citizens of a country and especially American citizens who even know that Andrew Jackson's wife smoked a corn cob pipe and was accused of adultery or that Lincoln never went to school or Kennedy wore a back brace or Truman played the piano.
Good grief... we are Americans! We are known for our humanitarian interests and caring for our 'fellow man'. We care, but none of us know one single humanizing fact about the history of our own president. Honestly, and this is a personal thing...but it's niggled at me for ages that no one who ever dated him ever showed up. The simple fact of his charisma that caused the women to be drawn to him so obviously during his campaign, looks like some lady would not have missed the opportunity.... We all know about JFK's magnetism, McCain was no monk, Palin's courtship and even her athletic prowess were probed... Biden's aneurisms are no secret. Look at Cheney and Clinton.. we all know about their heart problems and certainly speaking of the opposite sex- how could I have left out Wild Bill before or during the White House? Nope... not one lady has stepped up and said, "He was soooo shy..." or "What a great dancer!!" Now look at the rest of this... no classmates, not even the recorder for the Columbia class notes ever heard of him....
.... I just don't know about this fellow.
Who was the best man at his wedding? Start there. Then check groomsmen.
Then get the footage of the graduation ceremony. Has anyone talked to the professors? It is odd that no one is bragging that they knew him or taught him or lived with him.
When did he meet Michele and how? Are there photos there? Every president gives to the public all their photos, etc. for their library, etc. What has he released? And who in hell voted for him to be the most popular man in 2010?
Does this make you wonder? Ever wonder why no one ever came forward from President Obama's past saying they knew him, attended school with him, was his friend, etc. ?? Not one person has ever come forward from his past.
VERY, VERY STRANGE.. This should really be a cause for great concern. To those who voted for him, you may have elected an unqualified, inexperienced shadow man. Did you see a picture called The Manchurian Candidate?.....
Let's face it. As insignificant as we all are .. someone whom we went to school with remembers our name or face ... someone remembers we were the clown or the dork or the brain or the quiet one or the bully or something about us. George Stephanopoulos of ABC News said the same thing during the 2008 campaign. He questions why no one has acknowledged the president was in their classroom or ate in the same cafeteria or made impromptu speeches on campus. Stephanopoulos also was a classmate of Obama at Columbia -- the class of 1984. He says he never had a single class with him.
While he is such a great orator, why doesn't anyone in Obama's college class remember him? And, why won't he allow Columbia to release his records?
NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA
Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but none remembered him.
Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who also graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me. I don't have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia .. EVER!
Nobody recalls him. Root adds that he was also, like Obama, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that." Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him. At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York, 'the macha' who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him."
Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia , provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia ..
NOTE: Root graduated as Valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School , then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major in the same class in which Barack Hussein Obama states he was.
Some other interesting questions..
Why was Obama's law license inactivated in 2002?
Why was Michelle's law license inactivated by Court Order?
It is circulating that according to the U.S. Census, there is only one Barack Obama but 27 Social Security numbers and over 80 aliases. WHAT? The Social Security number he uses now originated in Connecticut where he is never reported to have lived.
No wonder all his records are sealed!
Somewhere, someone had to know him in school...before he "reorganized" Chicago & burst upon the scene at the 2004 Democratic Convention & made us all swoon with his charm, poise & speaking pizzazz.
Doesn't this bother ANYONE?? ?? ?? ?
Dang......reckon he's the Antichrist??? ::)
Since he's announced he's running again and gonna spend around a billion dollars on his campaign maybe they oughta follow the money. Not going vote for him THIS time either. More than likely gonna be stuck with him though......
So wheres the gardening thread????? LOL
Some dissenting voices:

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/columbia.asp
Ok.. but WHY doesn't he release what every other President has released.................?

Bothers me a bunch T. Perhaps because he epitomizes the progressive socialist mindset: I'm specthial, so I don't have to! So neener neener neener.
Just read the "dissenting voices' that Flint posted. Looks like out of possibly 20,000 students a Phil Boerner remembers Obama being there---- ONE out of 20,000 !! Yep, that settles that.
Teresa , you wonder who he dated in his youth. Does Rahm ring a bell ?
LOL~~ I'm to the point where I don't argue much anymore.. Hell Obama could murder little children and eat them on the white house lawn and there would still be those that would find an excuse for him..Either they really do believe the lies or they don't care or maybe they are with those who want to see America Destroyed.
whatever it is.... he has done a number on this country and it can't hold up very much longer under that kind of constant deterioration.
I will just be ready and prepared to take care of me and my family..and go from there. Thats about all you can do at this point.
I didn't vote for him, will not vote for him, and do not want him as our President either. I'm just really tired of all the inflammatory rhetoric that pollutes the vast majority of what passes as political dialogue nowadays.
Amen, Flint, Amen.
What seems so strange to me is..........
Where are all the ones that voted for him---are they not eager to praise him??? No one comes forth and sings his praises..all he has or is doing and how great they think he is?
They voted for the SOB and now they go hide under the bushes--
He is without a doubt..THE VERY WORST thing that has happened to America.

You are right Mother...
Because he hasn't done anything ..
oh yea.. except trample on the constitution.. and stomp on America in everyway that he possibly can.. and .. don't forget spend our money.. He can do that real good.. 2 years on a solid luxury paid vacation..courtesy of you and me.
So......................what HAS he done..... I mean for the GOOD of America... ?
QuoteBecause he hasn't done anything ..
Actually, he has done a lot of things... that he specifically said he would not do. :laugh:
I'm still kind of laughing at the Transparency Award... that was held in a secret ceremony where no media were allowed. Oohhhhhh soooo transparent!
OBAMA'S COLLEGE ROOMMATE SPEAKS OUT
By Wayne Allyn Root , June 6th, 2010
Barack Hussien Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent.
To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing.
He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure,
economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and
our country from within.
Barack Hussien Obama was my college classmate
( Columbia University , class of '83).
He is a devout Muslim do not be fooled.
Look at his Czars...anti-business..anti- american.
As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Barack Hussien Obama is
following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University .
They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system
with government spending and entitlement demands.
Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming.
Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn
the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority
that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted
on to always vote for bigger government.
Why not? ....They have no responsibility to pay for it.
Universal health care .
The health care bill had very little to do with health
care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and
health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents
(who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving
free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt.
What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million
voters to Democrats and big government .
Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill
in the middle of a depression?
Cap and trade.
Like health care legislation having nothing to do with
health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming.
It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control
of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors.
Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns
NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants.
They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to
Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power.
The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars,
bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."
Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state?
Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government
entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression?
Certainly not American taxpayers.
But this has been Barack Hussien Obama's plan all along.
His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman
and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
Legalize 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants.
Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could
overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable
new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government.
Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children,
food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and
eventually Social Security .
Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go?
It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions – including
billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country.
It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues.
It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama
almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to
teachers (thereby protecting their union dues).
All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their
bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America .
The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama,
the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful.
The ends justify the means.
Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job
creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers,
redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did
nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically
cut taxes in order to starve the government. Barack Obama wants to dramatically
raise taxes to starve his political opposition. With the acts outlined above,
Barack Hussien Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding
constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of
public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated
to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the
system.
Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by
my Columbia University college classmate Barack Hussien Obama
using the Cloward and Piven Plan .
True per snopes!

I agree with the content of this post, but I do have one contextual clarification:
Wayne Allyn Root was not Obama's roommate as stated in the headline of this article. (Teresa didn't do it, it's been circulating around the web this way) He is a prominent Libertarian politician, having been the party's VP nominee in '08, who has repeatedly stated that he and others that were at Columbia at the same time as Obama do not remember him as their classmate.
you agree the obama is a devout muslim? the guy eats pork, drinks, and goes to church every sunday. The taliban would probably love nothing more than to be rid of him. Worst president ever? hardly. Were you asleep for Bush?

You can talk bad about Bush all you want but at least you can find his information by looking. I just do not understand the big issue about everything when all Obama has to do is show everyone what they want to know!!!!.
I am like Jo, just where in the heck are the people that voted for him? If they are so full of pride of him, they should be out there singing about how great he is. I have seen a few cars here in Topeka that have his bumper sticker on their cars. 8)
