Semi-Literate Michelle Obama Got By On Affirmative Action
The Patriot Room ^ | July 1, 2008 | Bill Dupray

Posted on 07/01/2008 6:07:29 PM PDT by Bill Dupray

Dinesh D'Souza breaks out the red pen on Michelle Obama's thesis. "To wreak so much havoc on the English language in one sentence, without conveying anything of substance, is perhaps deserving of a prize. Is this what her professors were thinking when they granted her honors?"

A campus building with their name on it within a generation?

No. I think of a story I recall from a book on the Red Army of the postwar era. It is the tale of an officer so incompetent that he was promoted out of each billet so he would then be somebody else's problem.

Regardless of the circumstances underwhich [sic] I interact with Whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be Black first and a student second.

I find this statement ironic, considering that is exactly the attitude that Michelle herself projects. Why is it everyone else's responsibility to be welcoming and inclusive when she has chosen to set herself apart based on her race?

They were thinking, first of all, about protected melanin. Next, they were thinking about how they could unload her. I’m sure she was an unpleasant, self-centered, grievance-fueled witch even as a young witch.

Is this a joke?? Is this a thesis for a master’s degree or higher? The professor who gave her a passing grade on it (if that is how they judge these things) should be fired. She doesn’t even come across as being above average. With that bad grammar and those misspellings she sounds like she is barely qualified for community college.

[... D’Sousa writes, “When you achieve a goal on any grounds other than
your own merits, the pride is that much less earned, the reward that much
less satisfactory”...]

Could this be the reason Michelle Obama felt like a “visitor” at Princeton?

Good point. Lefties always do this. They accuse their political enemies with what they are guilty of doing and perpetuating.

“it often seems as if..”

Mrs. Obama harbored the bias. Can one really get away with what reads as a last minute thesis at Princeton?

Dinesh D’souza has a tin ear for politics (at least at times), like when he blamed Al Quada on Moslem sensibilities offended by Hollywood. Who cares to go back to grade MO’s Princeton thesis?

It’s all about Michelle. Her college thesis is about herself. She’s only proud when Americans are supporting her husband. When she’s asked about her proud statement, she says of course she’s proud because America produced her. She complains to working class people that she has to pay thousands of dollars in tuition fees for her daughters. It seems like she made another comment to a general question and immediately went into something about her daughters. Michelle Obama thinks about herself and her family primarily. That’s all fine and dandy when you are Suzy Cashier from Iowa working in Wal-Mart, but when you are wanting your husband to be President and yourself to be First Lady it’s very off putting. I want someone that thinks about the country at large. She’s definitely of the me, me, me generation. No wonder Oprah is a lover of these people.

Honestly, I don’t care about MO. We should not be stooping this low and she is not running for anything.

She’s out there running her mouth trying to get her Communist husband in the highest office of the land so she is fair game.

You should care..She could potentially have the kings ear.

For all we know, she gives great head; imagine what she could have hubby tackling as President.
