@Anyway I wouldn’t want Barack Obama speaking for my university.
@John Why don’t Hildog and Obama just run as Prez and VP? This would settle the entire controversy.
Anyway, who’s Republican here? =) (just kidding!)
@The argument against that idea is that a Hildog/Obama ticket would constitute too much historical change for the general electorate. Plus, Obama is particularly sensitive to the radiation trickling out of the snuke in Hildog’s snizz. So, it basically comes down to – not dying of tumors, for B.O.
@Barack would still be neck-in-neck with Hillary if his lips weren’t so weirdly purple. But I’m not a professional political consultant, so don’t take my opinions with too much weight.
@fxm maybe it’s because Harvard Law was a good experience for him and Columbia wasn’t…
@i heard barack has a weak handshake
@who cares Who cares if he has loyalty to his alma mater or not. The university is a place to get an education. He got an education here and moved on. I didn’t sign a loyalty oath when I came here.
Who cares if he gives money. I’m not giving additional money… already paid tuition.
@well he’s fiercely loyal to harvard law, and considers it more than just a “place to get education”. the matter is inconsistency.
@who cares “he’s fiercely loyal to harvard law, and considers it more than just a “place to get education””
Link?
“the matter is inconsistency.”
It is inconsistent to have a stronger affiliation with 1 school you attended over another? The matter is his personal choice. take deep breaths and relax.
@cc07/hls he appears in the harvard law recruitment dvd and goes on and on with effusive praise for the place. he certainly hasn’t done that for columbia.
@meh So what if he advertises for harvard… it is still his personal choice. Let him recruit for whoever he wants.
And John (#25) – I am a republican. I don’t see what that has to do with anything.
@Issues Do any of Barack’s legions of fans actually know what his policies are & what his political philosophy is? Because all I hear out of him is “we need to unite” and “we need to fix America”, which is essentially what every African and South American dictator says while running for office.
@Let's FIRE IT UP!!
@this shit was bananas. great great event. he’s such an amazing speaker.
@EAL Yeah, but just because he’s an “amazing speaker” doesn’t mean he’d make a good president.
I think it’s safe to say that if he had never spoken at the 2004 Democratic Convention he never would have been a candidate. Basing your judgment of a candidate on how well he puts sentences together is kind of short-sighted.
@yes well it’s not just his syntax that makes him appealing. it’s what he’s actually saying; he has innovative politics and is very constituent oriented. people who say they’ll vote for him just because he’s a good speaker or because he’s black or because he’s not hillary are idiots and shouldn’t be allowed to register.
but all the same, if george bush’s speaking ability is any indicator of his presidential merit, i feel like obama’s a step in the right direction, being able to articulate his thoughts at more than a sixth-grade level.
@also wasn’t columbia still all-male at that point? or was it a barnard/grad student?
@Barack is whack.
@The Reason The reason that Barack Obama doesn’t like Columbia is that he was accused of assault while attending. The case never went to trial, remaining in the student disciplinary system, but suffice to say it left him with a bad taste in his mouth. A woman in the community, black as if that should be relevant, made the accusation. I never saw the specifics of the case, so I don’t know if it was trumped up or swept under the table or simply dropped.
@evidence? I’ve never heard of that before…
@mimi Stop lying Hilary.
@Think Think more along the lines of a custodian/clerical/secretarial worker at Columbia. All alleged.
@whoa seriously??? can you find anything to back this up and post it?
@Original John This will come up closer to the election if it can be documented at all. Too early to go totally negative.
@EAL Barack Obama doesn’t care about Columbia. He had no friends and lousy housing when he was here, and he pretty much used the experience as a springboard to Harvard Law. I’ll bet he gives more money to Harvard than Columbia, if he gives at all (so much for alumni loyalty).
And if he doesn’t care about this University, than I do hereby reciprocate the sentiment.
@hey at least he counts columbia as his alma mater, and not occidental.
he does owe us for making up a fake major, though.
@man he will never come uptown.
@idiot crap i thought this was saturday. crap.
@Zorack Fuckin’ Brack. Everyone loves him. No one loves Zorack!
