The AP ran a story today in which they talked to Obama’s old friends from his days at Alma Mater. There are tales of bravery, like that time on Broadway when Obama courageously fended off a hobo. And fun facts about Obama’s developing fashion sense—did you know he was kind of into the grunge look? (So ahead of his time!). Also: he had a heart of gold. “Siddiqi would mock Obama’s idealism — he just wanted to make a lot of money and buy things, while Obama wanted to help the poor.” He was also a vegetarian.
Ah, memories.

@Well... “Okay, okay – Columbia accepted Obama. But get over it; everyone makes mistakes!”
You’re misguided and poorly informed if your preferences for the coming election guides your opinion regarding whether Obama should have gotten into Columbia. In all due respect, his admission to the college is none of your business, so keep your trap shut.
Also, try not to post statements of the obvious like “Well kiddo, not everyone likes Obama.” Even the most diehard Obama-philes realize that; we live in a democracy, and that is the nature of a democracy. I know you’re trying to sound jaded, experienced, and well-versed in the ways of this world, but please get over yourself.
@not everyone may not like obama, but that’s what we have elections for–which are better for deciding these sorts of things than anonymous blog postings.
@streaker streaker at Fordham’s commencement.
@seniors we want more seniors!
@new senior in town yo school’s over. 08 has graduated for all intents and purposes. 09 is now the senior class. get off my bwog!
@cc08 but 08 still hasn’t actually graduated.
so fuck off, junior.
@Anonymous woah woah, wait wait…anybody catch john cioschi’s racist outburst on thursday night at the senior ball?
@what happened?
@what's with... all the Obama hatred? Have the CC Republicans hijacked this message board?
@anonymous Well kiddo, not everyone likes Obama.
It must be a terrible shock to you to be confronted with the fact that not everyone agrees with your preferences. I know, I know – how could that be? Does this suggest that your views are no obviously correct? A terrible conundrum.
But welcome to reality.
@mugging guys, there’s apparently an email going around that a professor was mugged on 104th and riverside tonight. what happened? anyone?
i know a friend in teacher’s college that got the email (though said it was about a columbia prof). anyone know?
@eric I have to say this, since no one else did. I thought this article shows Obama’s high quality character, and shows that he’s not a phony by any means. He’s truly interested in understanding others and helping the world.
@hahaha “But another former Oxy classmate, Robert McCrary, now general manager of a contract sewing company, saw him differently: ‘He definitely had a cocky, sometimes arrogant way about him. … He was not open to others.'”
STILL IS
@Hi Bill Way to cherry pick your quotes. Career in Fox News planned?
@hmmm why are people always posting random shit on bwog about the baseball team? are they baseball players cuz surely noone else cares the least bit
@here and now henry perkins, second baseman of the CU baseball team won Ivy League player of the year today…awesome
@fuck obama
@I dont get it
@They're douches. That’s the joke. Hah.
@anonymous Okay, okay – Columbia accepted Obama. But get over it; everyone makes mistakes!
@name nicely put.
@mistakes.... Agreed. Look, I don’t have a problem with the guy. Maybe he does have a high quality character and maybe he really wants to “help the world.” I just hope he doesn’t lead it.
