"Shaniqua, you gettin' on my last nerve beotch. I wonder if Mariah Carey would reconsider my First Lady offer."
A campus building with their name on it within a generation?
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?
[... 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?
How dare anyone criticize her... she’s Black you know?
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.
That is a thesis?? What kind of research did she do?
"Shaniqua, you gettin' on my last nerve beotch. I wonder if Mariah Carey would reconsider my First Lady offer."
Her bravado in continuing her race-baiting is breathtaking.

But, hey ... writing is a thing of its time. Michelle and Diane BOTH write -- and write well! -- for their target audience! The proof? For both, it worked. The greenbacks pour in, and every one by what was writ. Well, maybe also, what a cutie the package was that writ it. Whatever! It sells!
And it's not just them ... for would a male Michelle Malkin have the sway the more pleasantly packaged version does? Well, how is Captain's Quarters doing these days?
Let's face it. Packaging counts.
She led with her inner Black when on campus, didn’t she?
That writing is typical of that of the semi-educated blacks I worked with at an International Labor Union.
They attempt to sound more literate than they are and just make it obvious that they have not done a lot of reading.
If one reads any amount of well-written literature, those mistakes would just not ring true.
I spent many an hour re-writing their reports. In English.
I have found that at Princeton no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my White professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong. 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. [snip]
These experiences have made it apparent to me that the path I have chosen to follow by attending Princeton will likely lead to the further integration and/or assimilation into a White cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; that will only allow me This realization has presently, made my goals to actively utilize my resources to benefit the Black community more desirable.
Sheesh. It’s too old.
“I have found...” :I FEEL
“...try to be toward me...” :I FEEL
“I sometimes feel” :I FEEL
“...it often seems...” :I FEEL
“...have made it apparent to me...” :I FEEL
“...will likely lead to...” :I FEEL
“...that will only allow me...” :I FEEL
How’s ‘bout THINKING for a change, MO?
Poor Michelle...
she had to endure years of humiliation at Chicago’s top-flight
public high school.
And, like her husband, she knows when to ditch a relationship which
is a political liability (salaried board member of TreeHouse Foods).
It would be interesting to know if she gave back the money she took
from this awful company that has dealings with WalMart

Other Fun Facts about Michelle Obama (granted, it’s from Wikipedia)

“
Michelle graduated from Whitney Young High School in 1981 and went
on to major in sociology and minor in African American studies at
Princeton University, where she graduated cum laude with an A.B. in 1985.
At Princeton, she challenged the teaching methodology for French because
she felt that it should be more conversational. As part of her requirements
for graduation, she wrote a thesis entitled, “Princeton-Educated Blacks
and the Black Community.”
(snip)
Now, she is her husband’s closest adviser.Early in the presidential
race she did not portray herself as an adviser, however. In fact,
she was quoted in interviews saying “My job is not a senior adviser.”
(snip)
She served as a salaried board member of TreeHouse Foods, Inc.
(NYSE: THS),[27] a major Wal-Mart supplier with whom she cut ties
immediately after her husband made comments critical of Wal-Mart at
an AFL-CIO forum in Trenton, New Jersey, on May 14, 2007.
(snip)
She employs an all-female staff of aides for her political role.[20]
She says that she negotiated an agreement in which her husband gave
up smoking in exchange for her support as a Presidential aspirant.[34]
About her role in her husband’s presidential campaign she has said:
“My job is not a senior adviser.”

Whitney M. Young Magnet High School, (commonly known as Whitney Young),
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitney_Young_High_School
“
It is considered by many to be the most prestigious public high school
in Chicago. In 2005, the school earned recognition as one of the
top schools in the country by U.S. News and World Report, ranking it
among the top 10% of high schools nationally. This ranking includes both
public and private high schools.

I think this overstates the case against Michelle's writing skills. Dinesh D'Souza graduated Phi Beta Kappa in English from Dartmouth. Excellent students don't always appreciate just how bad the mediocre students are.
