Obama doesn't have anyone in his past with an axe to grind.
WTF is this guy hiding?!
I found one.
In fact, I went to Google and searched "Obama's college friends" and all kinds of things popped up. Don't you guys ever use Google. It's really easy to use.
Old friends recall Obama's college years - The Associated Press
But another former Occidental classmate, Robert McCrary, now general manager of a contract sewing company, saw him differently: "He definitely had a cocky, sometimes arrogant way about him. ... He was not open to others."
"Cocky"? "Sometimes "arrogant"? Sounds jealous. When someone doesn't like the way they perceive another persons "acts", then it's usually jealousy. Now if he said, "The bastard stiffed me for 20 bucks" or something, I could understand.
Check this out:
Not everyone who knew Obama in those years is eager to talk.
Some explained that they feared inadvertently hurting Obama's campaign. Among his friends were Siddiqi and two other Pakistanis, all of them from Karachi; several of those interviewed said the Pakistanis were reluctant to talk for fear of stoking rumors that Obama is a Muslim.
"Obama, in the eyes of some right-wingers, is basically Muslim until proved innocent," says Margot Mifflin, a friend from Occidental who is now a journalism professor at New York's Lehman College. "It's partly the Muslim factor by association and partly the fear of something being twisted."
That guy just read you fuckers from top to bottom.
A half dozen people? That's it? Heck, I still have regular contact with over a dozen people just from my high school years alone, and (like Mr Obama) I live thousands of miles from where I grew up.
Ummm, how many people should the President of the United States keep in "regular contact" with from his high school?
