There is an internet myth that President Obama wrote a thesis at Columbia that was (pick one) anti-American or anti-white people. The truth is that undergraduates rarely write a thesis; it is required for some master's degree programs and most PhD programs. We do know that he wrote an "A" term paper about nuclear disarmament for one of his courses, and the professor has discussed it with the press. But to everyone's knowledge, no thesis was required for him to graduate.
When President Obama was in college, he wrote a thesis for his work. This thesis has been released so people can read if they so choose.
Barack Obama registered with the name Barack H. Obama at Columbia University.
Michelle Obama will release her thesis on November 5, 2008 (one day after the 2008 US Presidential election) according to the related link below.

Keeping her thesis from the public.
Columbia is in New York City,
Barack Obama is the only Columbia alumnus.
In Law School, it is not customary to write a thesis, and there is no evidence that Mr. Obama was required to write one. The same is true for undergraduate degrees-- many do not require a thesis. It is generally at the Master's or PhD level when a thesis is required. President Obama has a JD (Doctor of Laws), which he received with academic honors, graduating in the top 10% of his class. None of the law school professors who have been interviewed about him over the years recall that he was asked to write a thesis.
Yup
Columbia
Columbia and Harvard.
Obama went to Columbia University, not Yale.
