	* Really? What "people who knew Obama at Columbia"? George Stefanopolis, by no means a Tea Party supporter, graduated in the same class that Obama supposedly graduated with. However, not even GEORGE STEFANOPOLIS could remember one of his own classmates! Raises the question about a Manchurian Candidate, eh?		* Really? What "people who knew Obama at Columbia"?

−	:Please actually read the article before making unsubstantiated comments. First of all, George Stephanopoulos was not in Obama's class; he was one year ahead. And even if they did graduate in the same year, it's not at all unlikely that Stephanopoulos wouldn't have heard of Obama at a large university like Columbia; I didn't know most members of my own graduating class (we don't have a very social campus or cohesive community in general). What's more, Obama was a transfer student who lived off campus, which would have made him difficult to get to know, and claims that he spent much of his time burrowed in the library. Still, we have accounts from his roommate, [[Phil Boerner]], and Professor Michael Baron. Obama even published a feature length article in [[Sundial]], a now defunct student magazine.

	I want to know WHY no one ever heard of Obama in Columbia. Why won't he release his background information/paperwork??? Is it because he NEVER went there? Every other President has presented his complete past and background to the American People...What's with this guy????		I want to know WHY no one ever heard of Obama in Columbia.

	I know it may be difficult to find information on Business International since it merged with the Economist Intelligence Unit years back. However, BI had offices in major cities of the world and published newsletters containing top-notch research on doing business around the world. It was the premier publisher in this area of business. Subscriptions were costly, and every multi-national corporation subscribed to these publications. Senator Obama's description is accurate, and the nature of BI's publications could lead a person of Senator Obama's background to feel that he was "selling out." There are many online, erroneous reports about the nature of this company, but if you search you can find something closer to the truth.
