>drudge linkback to< The WND article, written by washed up fiction author Jerome Corsi, alleges that there is a discrepancy in Columbia University’s records which “casts doubt” on Obama’s well-documented two year tenure at the New York school. He then inexplicably suggests that the reason for the “missing year” is that Obama spent it in Pakistan as an agent for the Central Intelligence Agency:

"Swirling amid the black hole of information are a host of theories about Obama’s whereabouts – particularly during the 1981-1982 school year – including speculation he was working for the CIA in Pakistan."

1. Wouldn't that make him heroic and interesting???

Seems an odd sort of conspiracy-theory attack.

2. True!

It would also add military service to POTUS's resume making mittens look even more ridiculous for ducking service in favor of biking around the French countryside trying to convince everyone to quit drinking wine.

5. "biking around the French countryside trying to convince everyone to quit drinking wine"

Until you said it that way, I don't think I ever saw how truly silly an operation that must have been!

4. That's what I thought

So, he served his country in a near war zone, running highly dangerous missions for the CIA? And this is a bad thing why?

Bizarre claim. They're scraping bottom.

8. Was Michelle Obama his Miss Moneypenny? n/y

3. I tell Ya ...

I'm convinced there is a group of college kids sitting in a basement/studio apartment, complete with a Black-out curtains, a Black Light, psychodelic velvet posters and music blasting, somewhere who are smoking some really good dope AND have hacked the major gop "news" sites.

I think they have the giggles about now.

6. I think he was. I remember him from when I was the tribal

leader of all the goat people.

7. OMG! Barack Obama: Secret Agent! How cool would THAT be? Should we encourage this? n/t

9. including speculation he was working for the CIA in Pakistan."

Who is speculating? Besides Drudge?

Could be a fun game. Finish the sentence. Including speculation....

11. It's primarily that fuckknuckle Jerome Corsi.

I propose a counter meme beginning with "Obama was secretly enrolled in Ninja College".
This would explain why he routinely beats republiclown ass.

10. "Some people" are saying that.

Of course, "some people" also claim he was born in Kenya, the Earth is flat, and the Apollo moon landings were faked.
Seriously, the media should be calling out these whack-jobs and their nutty conspiracies; and give them the full measure of public ridicule they deserve.

[Canuckistanian]

12. Wait, they allow Kenyan Muslims in the CIA?

I guess the CIA isn't as good as Jerome Corsi for checking backgrounds of people.

13. Might as well get used to it. People are getting paid good money to.........

throw shit at the side of the Obama barn hoping some of it will stick.

I expect that for the next few months their will be a new chapter in the 'Evils of Obama' almost on a daily bases.

14. This story is being spread by a "preacher."

A "Dr" James Manning, who has nothing to back up his wild accusations.

The right-wing just eats this shit up.

16. He appears not to be much of a biblical scholar (at least of the old testament).

Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness...

Wait, what was that last one?

[Scootaloo]

15. So will Obama be playing Johnny Rivers music on the campaign trail?

Remember, A pretty face can hide an evil mind.

[Snarkoleptic]

17. He could use this one in Spanish speaking areas (or everywhere...just because it's awesome).

I dig this movie and have seen it 20+ times.

18. Not Obama, it was Osama

Honest mistake. But from what i have seen on not to be mentioned in certain circles.

Osama was the CIA agent, not Obama.
