It's funny how Obama confuses teen-age angst with a real philosophical position. The simple fact of the matter is, if you're 18 to 21, you feel like an outsider, regardless of your race or where you happen to be. Stupid liberal.

True to a point, but I think there's more to it than that. Based on what little Michelle has actually accomplished since she graduated, I'd say that the rest of the Princeton student body was head and shoulders above her intellectually. In her thesis she blames racism for her feelings "not belonging." It wasn't racism. It was the simple fact that intellectually, she didn't belong. A white male with her SAT score would probably never have been admitted to Princeton. Moreover, a white male whose thesis was so full of spelling and grammatical errors would never have been given a diploma.
