Article leaves out one important point -

she is used to being a straight-A student without putting forth the required effort. Her senior thesis was embarrassingly bad. I wrote one too, and of course I could do it better now, but it was miles better than hers just from the point of view of grammar, punctuation, etc.

So it's easy for her to criticize everyone else, because she's never been held to any sort of standard and imagines she's perfect and that it's super easy to be perfect. But I'm sure way back in her mind she knows all this praise is undeserved, and it makes her angry.

I know a couple of insanely qualified people who are at the tip top of their professions -- they are the LAST folks to nitpick and criticize. In fact, they are very kind and gentle to their associates - so long as they are TRYING. Because they have no fears of inferiority and have nothing to prove to anybody.

Unlike the first lady.

Exactly, you have just perfectly described the Dunning-Krueger effect, which certainly applies to the current occupants of the White Hut.

Don’t remember who said it, but somebody described her thesis “written in a language unknown to man.”

I’ve heard a lot about that sloppy thesis, which serves to expose Michelles attitude of black seperatism and other aggressive forms of entitlement.

I read somewhere long ago (maybe it was Thomas Sowell)the theory that this form of undeserved praise,
grade enhancement, etc. is the basis of black rage. Even if a black person works their heart out, the question in the back of their mind will always be “did I get it just because of my color?”.

The soft bigotry of low expectations indeed.
