The Obama College Myth Debunked By...

[J.E.D]

...The Blaze and Breitbart

OBAMA COLUMBIA DOCUMENT RELEASED

The image above--never before released--is from public records at Columbia University that prove that Obama did, in fact, graduate in 1983 from the Ivy League school. Contrary to some conspiracy theories, Obama was a student within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences--not the less selective, “nontraditional” Columbia University School of General Studies (which only merged with the Faculty of Arts and Sciences in 1990).

This never-before-seen document debunks a persistent myth that is unfairly unfavorable to the President.

Some “fact-checking” websites--such as snopes.com and FactCheck.org--have attempted to debunk the “Obama never graduated Columbia” conspiracy theory before. Yet they have relied almost entirely on secondary sources and mainstream media reports, which fail to cite primary sources. And the Obama campaign has not provided details of his admission to, or graduation from, the prestigious Ivy League school.

5 FACTS WE KNOW ABOUT OBAMA’S COLLEGE YEARS

[P]erhaps no set of documents is more coveted due to its total unavailability than the President’s college records. These documents have sparked all sorts of conspiracy theories.

To be fair, Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, didn’t release his college records either. Those only became public after a leak from inside Yale University, not due to any consent on the part of the former President.

Well, look no further. Below are five facts regarding Obama’s college years at Columbia, that are a starting point for the discussion.

#5. Barack Obama Did Attend Columbia University

This one is pretty much beyond dispute. Two of Obama’s former roommates, Sohale Siddiqi and Phil Boerner (the latter of whom was also an Occidental transfer) substantiate it, along with one of Obama’s former professors, Michael L. Baron (about whom more later). Politifact also uncovered and spoke to another alumna of Columbia who remembered Obama:

Cathie Currie, who currently teaches social psychology at Adelphi University, recalled Obama joining her group occasionally to play pick-up soccer games on the lawn outside the library. She was a graduate student at the time, and Obama was an undergrad.

He was a good soccer player, she said, even though basketball was his primary athletic passion.

OK, JED. Now the rest of the story. How did he pay for it? Columbia and Harvard are very expensive schools.

Only the radical right claimed that he never attended or graduated, the real question is did he commit fraud by taking scholarships and grants that were reserved for foreign students.

 

[J.E.D]

How did that poor negro afford to attend Columbia?

OK, JED. Now the rest of the story. How did he pay for it? Columbia and Harvard are very expensive schools.

No. Next question.

It just never ends with you folks.

 

[LadyGunSlinger]

I don't know of anyone who disputed him going to college.. Red is correct.. we want to know who paid his tuition? What does he application say? Did he come as a foreign exchange student seeking grants, government monies reserved for FOREIGN students?

Whatever you do, Sallow, DO NOT....I repeat DO NOT ever ever ever ever, under any circumstances question George Bush's attendance in the National Guard. It makes the righties collectives shit their pants over your Un American behavior!

Oh please, this JERK has lied so much, no one can believe a word out of his mouth. He's been busted lately too many times to count.. the latest??? "No one is reading your email." Well today we learned he's a fucking liar AGAIN.. so save the theatrics for your leftists comrades.. No one buys Obama's snake oil any longer except extreme leftwing nuts.

Yet they have relied almost entirely on secondary sources and mainstream media reports, which fail to cite primary sources. And the Obama campaign has not provided details of his admission to, or graduation from, the prestigious Ivy League school.

Crucially, Obama has refused to release his college transcripts from Columbia and Occidental College, which certainly do exist. Other candidates--such as George W. Bush--released their transcripts, though their grades were not necessarily flattering.

The mainstream media has clamored for, and investigated, and leaked information about other presidential candidates. But not Barack Obama--not in 2008, and not now.

Even when you lead the mainstream media by the nose to the facts, or to the questions they should ask, they refuse. They are addicted to a failing business model: left-wing bias alienates readers, which cuts revenues, which leads to layoffs, which leads to less news coverage, which leads to more opinion, which alienates readers anew. They tinker with every part of that failing model except the bias that launches the vicious cycle.

As more and more information about Obama emerges--through Breitbart News and other New Media sources, left and right--the failing mainstream media look more and more foolish, reduced to beatifying the president instead of reporting what he and his administration have done to this country.

Whether Obama’s college transcripts, or the documents in the Fast and Furious scandal, the time for excuses and evasions is over.

Update: Several readers point out, correctly, that George W. Bush's transcripts were leaked by the media. All the more reason to wonder why the media has not shown the same interest in Obama's records.

From your link. Still, he should release his Transcripts. Seriously, what is his problem with that? One could get the impression he has something to hide.

Beautiful Straw Man argument.

Bullshit. People have questioned his attendance there. It's happening right now, on this board, in a thread by Freewill. Why would you lie like that?

And here's a funfact for Saturday morning: there is no such thing as a foreign exchange student in college. There just isn't.

Booooooooooooooooooosh.. No one gives a rats flying asshole about George Bush who was a ROTTEN ASS President too.. I don't doubt he lied about his service, etc either.. BUT that's not what this thread is about, now is it liberal? It's about your god Obama, lying his ass off, getting busted constantly and about where he got his loans, money from to finance a Harvard education? He himself stated his single mother was poor..

Why? No other President has done that before him.

And I guess you weren't all that interested in Romney's tax records though, right?

You're an idiot.. Just like most libruls.. don't even know what the hell you're spewing.. Sit down and STFU dummy.

Actually, this thread is about the collective right acting like idiots. I've never said Obama was god. And it's not your fucking business what grants, loans and scholarships he received to work his way through college and law school. Do you have a problem with a person not born with a silver spoon up their ass becoming successful?

Proof? This post doesn't prove it....I never questioned if he went to college there, most are questioning how it was paid for. Was he there as a foreign student or not?

LMAO Coming from a dummy, this is rich! It is our business to know EVERYTHING about a man wanting to be the most powerful person in the world.. Had the media done their fucking job, none of this shit would be happening because I suspect your god wouldn't have ever been elected with all the STINKING and CORRUPT scum attached to his smelly person.

OK, we get it. You don't care if he committed fraud by claiming to be a foreign student. Your worship of the half black messiah transcends rational thought and legitimate questions. He is your hero, your savior, your god. So you will never question or challenge him on anything. He is never responsible for anything that happens on his watch. He is beyond reproach.
