She has been pushing the 'chip on her shoulder' racist BS most of her life. Her thesis at Princeton (affirmative action) was about the great injustice to blacks. A fairly prominent British journalist (he died a few years back) and I've forgotten his name actually read it and later described it as ‘turgid’.
“…………………………In the case of Michelle Obama, affirmative action did all three. The partners at Sidley Austin learned this the hard way. In 1988, they hired her out of Harvard Law under the impression that the degree meant something. It did not. By 1991, Michelle was working in the public sector as an assistant to the mayor. By 1993, she had given up her law license.Had the partners investigated Michelle's background, they would have foreseen the disaster to come. Sympathetic biographer Liza Mundy writes, "Michelle frequently deplores the modern reliance on test scores, describing herself as a person who did not test well."
She did not write well, either. Mundy charitably describes her senior thesis at Princeton as "dense and turgid." The less charitable Christopher Hitchens observes, "To describe [the thesis] as hard to read would be a mistake; the thesis cannot be 'read' at all, in the strict sense of the verb. This is because it wasn't written in any known language."
Michelle had to have been as anxious at Harvard Law as Bart Simpson was at Genius School. Almost assuredly, the gap between her writing and that of her highly talented colleagues marked her as an affirmative action admission, and the profs finessed her through…………………………………..”

Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. (or II) was the President of the Harvard Law Review. This is an administrative post.

It is widely acknowledged and conceded by other contemporary Harvard Law alums that Barry treated the post as a ceremonial sinecure. Big man at cocktail parties, where he easily assumed a role for which he had long practice: exotic party animal, Affirmnative Action schmoozer. The real administrative work of the HLR was done by others, backed by the paid staff, who stepped up to perform the tasks neglected by Barry. In short, he was "window dressing," a token.
Try and remember FReepers, this was Harvard, where the folks in the trenches would tend to know who can write. They knew Barry could not write. Nor could he edit the writing of others. At Harvard Law, Barry was "socially promoted," not a real law student.
