Becoming portrays the future president as an "Exceptional" and "Gifted" student who "Worshipped books." At Columbia he "Consumed volumes of political philosophy as if it were beach reading."
The stint at Columbia got dramatic treatment in the 2016 film Barry.
Neither did many other Columbia students, including those in Barry's own class.
"I don't know a single person at Columbia that knows him, and they all know me. I don't have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia. Ever!" That was Columbia alum and Libertarian party vice presidential candidate Wayne Allyn Root in 2008.
As Root told Matt Welch of Reason magazine, he and Obama were both in the 1983 political science, pre-law class at Columbia University.
"Not one of us remembers Barack Obama from our undergrad years, nor do we know anyone else who does." Jamie Miller, a mother of five active in the Columbia alumni association, travels back to New York every five years to attend reunions.
She had gone to school with the Columbia alum, "But I had no recollection of him whatsoever, and neither did anyone else I know, which I found very strange." As Maltz recalled, in 2013 "The group of Columbia 1983 alumni has submitted a request with the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv to meet with their former classmate, but have yet to receive a response."
