View MoreEver since Barack Obama launched his first campaign for the White House, there have been questions surrounding his college career. Over the weekend, students who went to Columbia University at the same time as Obama were asked to produce pictures proving that he did attend there. The responses which flooded in were stunning. One month before the 2008 presidential election, The Wall Street Journal published an article questioning the legitimacy of then-candidate Barack Obama’s claim that he attended Columbia University. “The Columbia years are a hole in the sprawling Obama hagiography,” the article read. “In his two published memoirs, the 47-year-old Democratic nominee barely mentions his experience there. He refuses to answer questions about Columbia and New York — which, in this media age, serves only to raise more of them.” “Why not release his Columbia transcript? Why has his senior essay gone missing? What can be said with some certainty is that Mr. Obama lived off campus while at Columbia in 1981-83 and made few friends,” added the WSJ. “Fox News contacted some 400 of his classmates and found no one who remembered him.” Ten years later, the questions surrounding Obama’s purported time at Columbia still remain. Actor and outspoken conservative James Woods opened the topic up to discussion on Twitter this weekend, asking his 1.42 million followers: “Hey, if any of you went to Columbia University and recall Barack Obama as a student there, would you please respond with a tweet and a pic of him at Columbia? Thanks.” Not surprisingly, Woods didn’t get any former Columbia students who were able to produce evidence of Obama’s alleged time there. Twitter users had some hilarious responses to his question, though. The most thought-provoking response to James Woods’ question came from a Twitter user who uses the handle “Codman Robert.” He posted a damning quote from Columbia University professor Henry Graff: This quote from Professor Graff originated in an article written by Columbia alumnus Wayne Allen Root for The Blaze. Root interviewed Graff after attending his 30th Columbia University reunion. “Something about ‘the Obama at Columbia story’ has always bothered me,” wrote Root. “I celebrated with my esteemed classmates. Everyone except Barack Obama. As usual — he wasn’t there. Not a trace. Not a video greeting. Not a letter. I could not find any classmates who knew him.” “Meet Professor Henry Graff, perhaps the most legendary and honored professor ever at Columbia University,” Root went on. “He was THE American History and Diplomatic History professor at Columbia for 46 years. And he is more emphatic than yours truly that there are no Obama footprints at Columbia.” “I did some digging and located Graff’s home phone number,” he added. “I called him yesterday. Now retired, he was delighted to hear from me. He agreed to go on the record about Obama. Unlike Obama, Professor Graff clearly remembered me. He was thrilled to hear from his former student https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIFo6l38xcc
