She does seem like a weak mind and an “affirmative action” baby, no matter how much that may upset the politically correct liberals to hear it. From what Christopher Hitchens describes of her undergrad “theis” it was atrocious (he described it a “unreadable in any language”) yet somehow she was passed onward and upward to law school. Looking at some of her statements and speeches, I have to wonder if she is even a high school graduate..... yet she managed to be admitted to Princeton (passing over many more qualified applicants who were not of the correct skin color or genitalia). Somehow she graduates from Princeton and is supposed to be the cream of the crop, although there are countless students from supposedly “lesser” colleges who are far superior to her in intellect, judgment, and learning.
This is just anecdotal BUT it happens all the time.... In her generation (I am just a couple of years older) I know someone, a family friend, wait-listed (not admitted but given the “honorable mention” pat on the back) at Princeton (probably the same year she was admitted), a “white male” who was a top student in h.s., SAT scores in the high 700s range on each test, class officer and many leadership activities, etc. People like that are regularly passed over (so many top Asian students too!!) so that weak minds like Michelle (Robinson) Obama can get passed ahead for such opportunities. Of course, it happens in so many areas, at every level of society, for police and fire departments, all sorts of educational and employment opportunities..... all in the name of reverse discrimination, er, “affirmative action” as the politically correct leftists prefer to call it. All done in the name of liberal social engineering, but then they wonder why a lot of resentments and tensions build as people see bozos like Michelle Obama advanced far beyond their competence. Not saying it doesn’t also happen plenty with children of the rich and famous, politically connected, etc. but the solution is not to make society LESS meritiocratic by making our institutions more racist as well....
It was his childhood nick hame. Barok, Barry, kind of the same.
I’m not sure Michelle Obama’s an affirmative action casualty; however, I am sure that she notices how very, very rich Oprah is...
Where the hell is h@ll?
Since she’s been complaining about her SAT scores being low, there’s no way she’d have gotten into Princeton unless she’d had some other outstanding quality. And if she had, I haven’t heard about it.
Somewhere deep down inside Michelle Obama realizes that without “affirmative action” she would be cleaning toilets somewhere and that knowledge is eating her guts out.
Somehow she graduates from Princeton and is supposed to be the cream of the crop, although there are countless students from supposedly “lesser” colleges who are far superior to her in intellect, judgment, and learning.

There are countless high school dropouts who are “far superior to her in intellect, judgement and learning”.
Well, as I said, I’m not sure; I hadn’t heard that particular tale...
Agree 100%.
My kid has a friend whose sistre applied to Princeton last year. White blonde girl, legacy for generations, family money, yet she only had 2 5s and 3 4s on AP tests and no higher than 700 each on her SATs. She was waitlisted and ended up going elsewhere.
No affirmative action for the blonde chicks either.
Read the 3rd paragraph of the article above - then wonder how she made it into Princeton on the basis of poor test scores.

Jeez, now you’re expecting me to read the posted article? What next? Will I have to read one or two of the comments, too? Sheesh...
Courtesy comment:
Did you mean that like when my dad told me to quit trying to be cute or do you think she is MS. Black America?
As a man I find her cute. It started with this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=M-mLO0ZgOwc
Michelle Obama is right - she and her husband are not elitists — except in their own minds. They are, quite simply, bitter underachievers who have coasted to wealth and prominence through the back door of Chicago politics. Neither one of them could ‘cut it’ in the competitive marketplace, and both would eventually sink to their level of competence — fast food managers, at best.
I think you nailed it. I was trying to figure out who she reminded me of. Thanks.
oops, typo, should have read “thesis”
note to self: spell check is my friend - use it!
Well heck, pops, do I gots ta read it for ya ? :)
“Michelle is a bigger problem for Barry than Wright.”
Yep.
If he’s elected — she will be running the country!
