Mrs O: The truth about Michelle Obama's 'working class' credentials
Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 24 feb 08 | SHARON CHURCHER

Posted on 02/24/2008 9:14:31 AM PST by rellimpank

The dress, a purple shift, is almost ludicrously simple. The pearls around her neck are fakes, each one the size of a gobstopper, and deliberately so.

It is clear that the woman gazing out from the cover of Newsweek magazine has a message for anyone caring to glance at the news stand.

Yes, Michelle Obama is a glamorous lawyer with a big salary, a bigger house and a husband with one hand on the Presidency, but never forget that this is also the little black girl from Chicago who overcame the odds to change the face of American politics.

Thank you for posting that. Proof that cloning does work — sounds like on the inside she’s just like Hilary!

Here’s what John Derbysire on The Corner http://corner.nationalreview.com/ had to say today about the Obamas, and particularly Mrs. Obama’s skewed view of America:

“Most Americans don’t see our country like that, and have a low opinion of people who do. Millions of white — or, as Mrs. Obama writes, “White” — Americans would love to have had the breaks Mrs. Obama had, and resent the fact that they didn’t have them because they don’t belong to a designated victim group. They resent the ease with which two beneficiaries of those breaks can parlay their victim status into two six-digit salaries and a seven-digit house, without ever doing any kind of work that adds to the nation’s wealth or security. And they especially resent that people who have attained those heights of success, with the assistance of those breaks, seem to nurse nothing but hostile emotions towards the country that made it possible for them.”

Another locked-from-sight thesis for another Democrat First Lady-to-be?

I've got live links to the .PDF, if you want to read Mrs. Obama's whiny, pretentious, unscholarly, politically obsessed thesis. To tell you the truth, I couldn't read very much of it; it was too boring.

But here you go:

Part I

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

"spoilt white students from wealthy families."

Geez Louise! I was there, too ('73-'77). There were certainly some of those (and boy were they a pain), but the vast majority were from middle class families more or less like Mrs. Obama's . . . whose parents had to scrimp and save to pay the outrageous tuition. There just aren't enough wealthy families to go around to fill out all the student bodies of all the Ivies, let alone Princeton which is still sort of the poor cousin, the 'most Southern of the Ivies'.

She's had a chip on her shoulder from the git-go. And for no good reason.

“Then she arrives at Princeton and discovers that she’s not so special, that there’s lots of people there that are so much smarter than her that she can’t open her mouth in front of them for fear of being seen as an idiot. She realizes that, to many of her peers there, she’s just an Affirmative Action token. She majors in Sociology, one of the refuges of mediocre students who can’t make it in harder fields, and her inner rage seethes and boils.”
What a disapointment, she enters college thinking she’s all that an ends up being a no body. Sounds like she needs a trip to the shrink because she has a problem not America . But if she ever reaches the point where she does wield some power, watch out! This is one angry black women. Some advise: be mad at yourself for thinking you were all that!

Last week it seemed the mask had slipped when, speaking unscripted for once, a sharper, less emollient Michelle emerged. 'For the first time in my adult life I feel really proud of my country,' ....

Michelle Obama said it, not once, but TWICE in TWO DIFFERENT SPEECHES.

Her body language while speaking is antagonistic—she drops her shin and cuts her eyes sideways and up. Make you think of an angry cat?

It’s sad when we have to read foreign media to get the truth about our campaigns.

I liked this bit from her brother:

“My sister is a poor sport. She didn’t like to lose.”

She needs to find God and gratitude in her life.

the little black girl from Chicago who overcame the odds to change the face of American politics.

With a LOT of help from racial quotas at Princeton and Harvard, as she herself has admitted.

I’ve read it.

She’s your typical BLACK racist who HATES WHITES.

Yet, she chases the WHITE dollar.

“She’s had a chip on her shoulder from the git-go. And for no good reason.”

I always wonder WHY the chip on the shoulder with SO MANY ADVANTAGES than even WHITES didn’t have?

You would think that chip would fall of her shoulder and she’d thrive in accomplishment not associated with skin color. I don’t understand why that didn’t happen to her and other BLACK racists.

She is more than antagonistic...she is hostile. I just read her college thesis. I think she is her generation’s Stokely Carmichael.

Michele is an angry black woman that sees whites as racists. I do not think a truly even tempered, non racist man could live with someone so different than his rhetoric would indicate.

Just what does a “Vice President for Community and External Affairs at University of Chicago Hospitals” do to earn $300K/year?

How many people does she help heal in exchange for a salary roughly 50-60% greater than the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff - who, after all, only supervises roughly 1.4 million active duty people?
