Sort of off topic, but not really. Michelle has admitted that she didn’t get into Princeton and Harvard based on her test scores. Not sure about Barack, but we are now about through the second generation of affirmative action college admissions, 35 or more years of it.
If the Obama children don’t qualify for prestigious universities based on grades and test scores, or the same criteria as whites and Asians, should they be admitted under affirmative action programs? Would there still be past discrimination to overcome into a third generation of affirmative action college admissions?
Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama’s resentments toward her country and its citizens were undoubtedly nourished by the effect that her set-aside affirmative action appointment to Princton had on her. It would appear that she was unable to reconcile her black cultural nationalist/separatist philosophy with her tenure at Princeton, a place for which she was wholly unsuited by dint of preparation and talent, if her poorly written senior thesis is any indication. Rather than appreciating the AA slack cut her by the lib profs, she chose to lash out at what she saw as condescension and maybe some pity from them. She felt that she didn’t belong and she probably didn’t, but her racial sensitivity antenna read racism and bigotry rather that contemptuous pity. Her artificially inflated ego couldn’t stand that and she has mutated an enormous shoulder chip ever since.
Now we can only hope that the Barack He who must not be middle named Obama campaign does not muzzle her and deprive the GOP of a priceless asset. Bur from what I hear that is a dangerous proposition for any worker in that campaign. She appears to be as unmanageable and ornery as the Hildabeast.
