"The chief tenet of postmodernism is that truth and facts are arbitrary
constructs, set up by the privileged to manipulate others less
fortunate. In the case of our first postmodernist president, Barack
Obama, there cannot be facts, past or present, only a set of shifting
assertions that gain credence to the degree that they prove transitorily
useful for progressive causes."
That first paragraph is a masterpiece, but you should read the whole thing.

"I
want to know how Barack Obama got into Columbia University for
undergraduate school. I want to see his application. Did he seek extra
consideration, as did Elizabeth Warren in applying for her academic
opportunities, by claiming to be a member of a demographic group favored
by affirmative action? I imagine that he did not falsely claim special
treatment on a theory of being foreign-born, but I would like to know
for sure."

Did anyone actually know this Barack Obama fellow at university?
Anyone have lunch with him, set up a local choom club, go bowling, anything?!?!
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 have ever met him, saw
him, or heard of him."
