That the sky has been the limit for her, that she has managed to ride the “periphery” from Princeton to Harvard Law School, to one of the country’s top law firms, and to a plethora of prestigious institutional positions, has not much altered her perspective. Through the windows of her mansion on Chicago’s south side, American society still appears as a caste system.

This is what completely confounds me. Michelle and Obama have attained a position in America that very few will ever reach, whatever their skin color. For all her achievements, she CHOOSES to not see past the color of her skin. I'm sorry for her because millions of us have left that kind of thinking in the dust.

I think you overstate the “achievements” of the NObombas.

I bet if you were to look in their admission and employment files you would see alot of “achievement” that had less to do with merit and much more to do with “color of her/his skin.”

These two have been spoonfed for so long they thing they’re invincible and above everyone else.

“This is what completely confounds me?”

Doesn't “confound” me in the least.

Lets look at the facts.
American colleges & universities have been staffed by Leftist professors for decades who have been indoctrinating our children with anti-American, anti-military and anti-Judeo-Christian propaganda for decades. And Hussein & Michelle Obama are just products of that indoctrination.

But the flip side of this--it makes them fundamentally weak. Imagine Obama in the WH--how will he govern? Blacks make up 15% of the country (wonder how many conservatives there are in the US and McCain blows them off...but I digress...) just what is Barak going to do for them? Institute reparations as his first payback gesture and alienate all whites from the get go?

I foresee a very weak President Obama.
