Whaaat? Do you deny that there is little information about Obama at Columbia? The argument as I read it is not that he didn't attend, its just that he somehow skated through.
And by 'argument', you mean that someone just typed it? Not that such a claim is actually based on any evidence, has any connection to reality, or has ever been fact checked.
He says he buckled down and lived a live alone, "as a monk" yet he had roommates, save one other they are the ones who say he did in fact attend Columbia. But in fact what they are saying is he lived in NY. People who attended Columbia at the same time do not remember a black man, who by that very nature would have stood out, nor do they remember a man being born and raised, after living in Indonesia, in Hawaii.
Who are 'people'? There's Wayne Allen Root and.....Wayne Allen Root. Who, just coincidentally, happens to be a *professional* right wing conspiracy theorist.
So WAR didn't know Obama. And?
Do you deny that there was a brochure that stated categorically that he was born in Kenya?
Do you deny that the editor of that brochure indicated that the mistake was hers and that Obama never indicated he was born in Kenya?
"You're undoubtedly aware of the brouhaha stirred up by Breitbart about the erroneous statement in a client list Acton & Dystel published in 1991 (for circulation within the publishing industry only) that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me — an agency assistant at the time," Goderich wrote. "There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more."

Do you deny that Obama's place of birth was identified as Hawaii in articles in the NY Times and the Chicago Tribune *before* the brochure was ever written or Obama ever picked up by any literary agency?
The new president of the Review is Barack Obama, a 28-year-old graduate of Columbia University who spent four years heading a community development program for poor blacks on Chicago's South Side before enrolling in law school. His late father, Barack Obama, was a finance minister in Kenya and his mother, Ann Dunham, is an American anthropologist now doing fieldwork in Indonesia.
Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii.

If no,
then when did Obama indicate he was born anywhere but Hawaii? Because the only one saying this....
...is you.
Are we to believe that a mistake was made and Obama didn't tell the woman that he was born in Kenya? Really?
And why would we ignore the editor of the very brochure you're citing and instead believe you? Does that make any sense? Who is a better source on the information in that pamphlet than the woman who edited it?
And of course, if Obama was lying about where he was born,
why did nationally carried news articles indicate his birth place cite Hawaii? Articles that *preceded* and followed this obscure pamphlet.
You cite 'logic' as the basis of your argument. Well, apply a little. Logically, why lie in the pamphlet? Any publisher who would consider him would do research on the man before publishing his autobiography.
And his birth place was clearly cited as Hawaii. It would diminish his credibility with the very people he was attempting convince to publish his work......which makes absolutely no sense.
So your narrative makes no sense......
3 times in a row. As you have no reason to ignore the editor of the pamphlet, your 'lying about his history' narrative is simply destroyed by the articles that cite his birth place as Hawaii, and logically lying would serve no purpose. As the aforementioned articles would reveal the 'lie' with an even trivial amount of research.
Where as an editing error makes far more sense.
Further are we to believe that he didn't know for all those years and it was removed just prior to his running for POTUS by accident? Really? If you believe he didn't know they I suggest it is you that have partisan blinders.
Dude, the pamphlet was ridiculously obscure.
Even Breitbart, who was hunting for any dirt he could find on the President wasn't able to find this pamphlet until 2012....almost 4 years after Obama had been elected president. That's how uselessly remote it was.
Why was it so obscure?
Because it was never publicly released. It was printed in 1991....and passed around to a handful of publishers of books. Worse, Obama was dropped by the very literary agency that printed it up in 1992. Why then would Obama bother to correct a minor factual error in an uncirculated pamphlet printed by an agency that hadn't represented him since *Bush 1* was in office?
Again, your narrative makes no sense. And is laughably illogical.
Now we know for a fact he allowed a lie to stand there is no other logical conclusion.
Sure there is: it wasn't a 'lie'. It was an editing error as acknowledged by the very woman who put the pamphlet together. And Obama never bothered to have it corrected because the agency dropped him back in 1992. And of course, the pamphlet wasn't publicly circulated....being sent only to a handful of book publishers.
Why would he give a shit?
Especially when his *correct* place of birth being cited in the New York Times and the Chicago Tribute before this obscure pamphlet was printed up.
Now why he would not release his information is that he probably used his "foreign" birth status for economic gain. It might even say on his admittance paperwork that he was born in Kenya. High crime, doubtful, logical indeed.
The pamphlet was printed in 1991.
Obama had already graduated from both Columbia and Harvard. And when the NY Times and the CHicago Tribune checked Obama's place of birth in 1990......they cited Hawaii. Your 'cause' follows your 'effect' by almost half a decade.
And this you call 'logic'? I'm not sure the term means what you think it means.
Your entire narrative is contradicted by overwhelming evidence, makes no logical sense, and is based in little more than speculation and innuendo. No thank you. I'll stick with evidence and logic.
