Barack Obama: The Ghost Of Columbia University

Okay, seriously now, whats up with this?

This guy says he was attending Columbia University at the time Obama was supposed to go there too, same major and everything. But noone remembers Obama ever being there. Very strange. Any thoughts?

I've seen this before ....

Colleges are big places. Some college classes have a hundred people in them.
Unless people were sitting next to each other and actually engaged in conversation
often, it is easy to see how people would go to college at the same time and not
know each other.

Alone ... this person's statement really doesn't mean much.

It needs backing up before it can be at a 'conspiracy' level.

Do you remember everyone you went to college with? I don't remember the head of ANY groups or anyone. I had a few friends and I remember them, but I couldn't even give you the race, gender or name of ANYONE else, not even my classmates.

I go to Columbia right now in grad school.

It's a massive school. I probably don't know or recognize 95% of people that go to Columbia now.
