Just more Affirmative Action garbage from someone not qualified to be a student at an Ivy League school. I'll bet she started sentences with "Due to the fact..." That was in vogue among minority students in the 1980s.

A hard science Master’s Thesis would not have looked this way.

I can’t imagine getting permission from the president of the BSA to do ANYTHING! I would have gone to the Dean and asked for another advisor.

...my guess is the clown who wrote the Thesis for her, got paid too much

[Don Corleone]

Everything about this “couple” reeks. Everything!

Indeed.

I always write 'dew two', unstead.

Zero has an article or two from his college days posted online. Also full of errors.

Sad thing is they actually believe their college degrees mean something. Affirmative Action couple.

First time in her life she’s proud of the U.S.? Guess them handing her an Ivy League education and job though she’s unqualified wasn’t enough.

“Just more Affirmative Action garbage from someone not qualified to be a student at an Ivy League school.”

Actually, she is unfortunately part of the norm for the Ivy schools. They most certainly are not the intellectual wellsprings that people have given them credit for. Case in point, Gore and Obama both went to Ivy schools.

Is there a family history on this person?

Another verification that the vast majority of holder's people are quite happy to take the free ride we guilt blinded crackers give away on a clearly racist basis, which I might add has not contributed to the wealth and well-being of America nor mankind.

Let's hope Wisconsin is an indicator bulb that America is waking up to this fraud and will return to the correct premise of “stand on your own merit and work or do without”.

Did Michelle Obama get the necessary permission to contact, interview or survey these "subjects" of her research? My wife did interviews of a minority people for her PhD thesis and had to go through all sorts of hoops in order to have the permission needed to do research on humans subjects.

Michelle's tortured grammar would certainly have caused her committee to reject the thesis and have it re-written. Again my wife spent most of a year writing her thesis and had to go through numerous re-writes because one or more of her committee members didn't like the way a section was written. I had the same experience in writing my masters thesis.

[Hawthorn]

Yeah, we certainly can all agree that Michelle doesn’t deserve any prizes in the IQ department. No news there.

Still, whichever genius wrote the headline for this story isn’t exactly the brightest bulb in the circuit either:

Michelle was an undergraduate at Princeton. So the opus in question wasn’t a “masters” thesis (with or without an apostrophe). It was a SENIOR thesis. A very big difference.

[wideminded]

It’s not a master’s thesis but an undergraduate thesis. I read the whole thing back in 2008, unlike you or the author of this article, and thought that while not world-class, it was entirely acceptable as an undergraduate piece of work, even for Princeton.

[Sgt_Schultze]

Yeah. But it was good enough for the wife of a public figure to land a make-work, no account job at a public hospital.

[longfellow]

apparently she didn’t get that drug from “rise of the planet of the apes”.

Hitchen’s characteristically devastating critique of Michelle’s thesis:

“I direct your attention to Mrs. Obama’s 1985 thesis at Princeton University. Its title (rather limited in scope, given the author and the campus) is ‘Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community.’ To describe it 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.”
