I am President Obama’s classmate at Columbia University, Class of ’83. I
am also one of the most accurate Las Vegas oddsmakers and
prognosticators. Accurate enough that I was awarded my own star on the
Las Vegas Walk of Stars. And I smell something rotten in Denmark. Obama
has a big skeleton in his closet. It’s his college records. Call it “gut
instinct” but my gut is almost always right. Obama has a secret hidden
at Columbia- and it’s a bad one that threatens to bring down his
presidency. Gut instinct is how I’ve made my living for 29 years since
graduating Columbia.
Obama and his infamous strategist David Axelrod understand how to play
political hardball, the best its ever been played. Team Obama has
decided to distract America’s voters by condemning Mitt Romney for not
releasing enough years of his tax returns. It’s the perfect cover. Obama
knows the best defense is a bold offense. Just keep attacking Mitt and
blaming him for secrecy and evasion, while accusing him of having a
scandal that doesn’t exist. Then ask followers like Senator Harry Reid
to chase the lead. The U.S. Senate Majority Leader appears to now be
making up stories out of thin air, about tax returns he knows nothing
about. It’s a cynical, brilliant and vicious strategy. Make Romney
defend, so he can’t attack the real Obama scandal.
This is classic Axelrod. Obama has won several elections in his career
by slandering his opponents and leaking sealed documents. Not only do
these insinuations and leaks ruin the credibility and reputation of
Obama’s opponents, they keep them on the defensive and off Obama’s trail
of sealed documents.
By attacking Romney’s tax records, Obama’s socialist cabal creates a
problem that doesn’t exist. Is the U.S. Senate Majority Leader making up
stories out of thin air? You decide. But the reason for this baseless
attack is clear- make Romney defend, so not only is he “off message” but
it helps the media ignore the real Obama scandal.
My answer for Romney? Call Obama’s bluff.
Romney should call a press conference and issue a challenge in front of
the nation. He should agree to release more of his tax returns, only if
Obama unseals his college records. Simple and straight-forward. Mitt
should ask “What could possibly be so embarrassing in your college
records from 29 years ago, that you are afraid to let America’s voters
see it? If it’s THAT bad, maybe it’s something the voters ought to see.”
Suddenly the tables are turned. Now Obama is on the defensive.
My bet is that Obama will never unseal his records because they contain
information that could destroy his chances for re-election. Once this
challenge is made public, my prediction is you’ll never hear about
Mitt’s tax returns ever again.
Why are the college records, of a 51-year-old President of the United
States, so important to keep secret? I think I know the answer.
If anyone should have questions about Obama’s record at Columbia
University, it’s me. We both graduated (according to Obama) Columbia
University, Class of ’83. We were both (according to Obama) Pre-Law and
Political Science majors. And I thought I knew most everyone at
Columbia. I certainly thought I’d heard of all of my fellow Political
Science majors. But not Obama (or as he was known then- Barry Soetoro).
I never met him. Never saw him. Never even heard of him. And none of the
classmates that I knew at Columbia has ever met him, saw him, or heard
of him.
But don’t take my word for it. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2008
that Fox News randomly called 400 of our Columbia classmates and never
found one who had ever met Obama.
Now all of this mystery could be easily and instantly dismissed if Obama
released his Columbia transcripts to the media. But even after serving
as President for 3 1/2 years he refuses to unseal his college records.
Shouldn’t the media be as relentless in pursuit of Obama’s records as
Romney’s? Shouldn’t they be digging into Obama’s past–beyond what he has
written about himself–with the same boundless enthusiasm as Mitt’s?
The first question I’d ask is, if you had great grades, why would you
seal your records? So let’s assume Obama got poor grades. Why not
release the records? He’s President of the free world, for gosh sakes.
He’s commander-in-chief of the U.S. military. Who’d care about some poor
grades from three decades ago, right? So then what’s the problem?
Doesn’t that make the media suspicious? Something doesn’t add up.
Secondly, if he had poor grades at Occidental, how did he get admitted
to an Ivy League university in the first place? And if his grades at
Columbia were awful, how’d he ever get into Harvard Law School? So again
those grades must have been great, right? So why spend millions to keep
them sealed?
Third, how did Obama pay for all these fancy schools without coming from
a wealthy background? If he had student loans or scholarships, would he
not have to maintain good grades?
I can only think of one answer that would explain this mystery.
Here’s my gut belief: Obama got a leg up by being admitted to both
Occidental and Columbia as a foreign exchange student. He was raised as
a young boy in Indonesia. But did his mother ever change him back to a
U.S. citizen? When he returned to live with his grandparents in Hawaii
or as he neared college-age preparing to apply to schools, did he ever
change his citizenship back? I’m betting not.
If you could unseal Obama’s Columbia University records I believe you’d
find that:
A) He rarely ever attended class.
B) His grades were not those typical of what we understand it takes to
get into Harvard Law School.
C) He attended Columbia as a foreign exchange student.
D) He paid little for either undergraduate college or Harvard Law
School because of foreign aid and scholarships given to a poor foreign
students like this kid Barry Soetoro from Indonesia.
If you think I’m “fishing” then prove me wrong. Open up your records Mr.
President. What are you afraid of?
If it’s okay for U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to go on a
fishing expedition about Romney’s taxes (even though he knows absolutely
nothing about them nor will release his own), then I think I can do the
same thing. But as Obama’s Columbia Class of ’83 classmate, at least I
have more standing to make educated guesses.
It’s time for Mitt to go on the attack and call Obama’s bluff.
