He will not talk about the courses he took at Columbia.
What I remember is he was going to a local college and was recruited and sent to Columbia.

I did look at the site. It showed about forty three percent came from doners who gave less then two hundred dollars. So that shows there are still some big ticket doners.
This table lists the top donors to this candidate in the 2008 election cycle. The organizations themselves did not donate, rather the money came from the organization's PAC, its individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families. Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.
But are you saying you don't think he has already been bought?
Or there is not conspiracy as to where his money is coming from?
He majored in political science with a specialization in international relations. He received his B.A. degree in 1983, then worked for one year at Business International Corporation.
