Politico.com has a .pdf copy of Michelle Robinson Obama’s thesis in sociology. [http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8642.html] The content is entirely consistent with Barack Obama’s Black identity politics, if not outright Black Nationalist politics, as described in Dreams From My Father, as well as Michelle Obama’s statement that she is proud of our country only when her husband, who can’t be bothered to show respect for our National Anthem, is running for President. It is no surprise that efforts were made to conceal this thesis from the public until after the election.
Earlier in my college career, there was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the Black community I was somehow obligated to this community and would use all of my present and future resources to benefit this community first and foremost. My experiences at Princeton have made me more aware of my “Blackness” than ever before.Michelle LaVaughn Robinson [Obama], “Princeton Educated Blacks and the Black Community,” page 2 http://www.politico.com/pdf/080222_MOPrincetonThesis_1-251.pdf
“Would use all of my present and future resources to benefit [the Black] community first and foremost” are not the words of a person who should be First Lady for a multiracial and ethnically diverse nation like the United States. While many of us have probably written things in our early 20s that we might repudiate in our 40s and 50s, Michelle Obama’s lack of pride in our country indicates that she still stands by these words. More importantly, they are entirely consistent with Barack Obama’s Black identity politics and even Black Nationalism.
Obama’s thesis then continues to underscore her belief that she regards her integration into mainstream or “white” American society as a problem, just as her husband questioned his “racial credentials” during his college days. ...“racial credentials” are the central characteristic of RACISM.

We’re a couple of months behind on this “revelation,” aren’t we?
Yes ... we certainly need a special blessing with McCain as our best hope.
The “rumor” making the rounds, is that there is video of Michelle Obama making a “hate whitey” speech in front of the church. The purported video is in the hands of people who know how to use it.
You know it’s the Clintons and they’re gonna blame it on the Republicans...
But somehow, such a video will be overlooked or ‘easily’ explained away by the MSM.
“Nothing to see here, move along, folks”
If the Kollege Kiddie Krusaders pull it off and get Osama elected, “history” will have been made in two ways. The KKK would get their much desired first “black” president and this country would have the meanest looking first “lady” in its history. Can she even smile or does she always look like she wants to rip your head off?
That made me think of the envy barrier that Dr. Jack Wheeler writes about. I think she fears that if she were to choose to just be successful as an individual for herself and family, she would be seen as climbing on the backs of the others, and subject to rebuke.
That's from Larry Johnson of "21 indictments against Carl Rove" fame. It falls into the category of "not exactly credible wishful thinking." And I don't think it would make a bit of difference if it did exist -- not to the Obamessiah's followers.
OTOH, I think there is something far more damaging out there about Obama that in a normal world shouldn't be too difficult for the media to dredge up, if they weren't so deeply in the tank for him and fearful of the backlash.
Sounds ugly.
Inconsistent with being a Christian. The Church that votes democrat is simply a social club.
Anyone try to read it? She is the queen of run-on sentences. Horrible writing much less the subject matter. If this is what it takes to graduate from Princeton, I’m glad I just went to a state university where more was expected of me instead of some expensive place like Princeton.
It’s Michelle’s permanently arched eyebrows that are scary!
They shout, “Don’t sass me, sucker! I’ll hurt you if you do! Better not be showing me no attitude, see?”
I briefly thought she was complaining about a "God and Guns" culture with the line "...God, Piazza and Glock...". Had to read the section a couple of times to make sure she wasn't.
The Obamessiah followers are not the people who this would make a difference to.
No, this would and will make a big difference with the swing voters, who will ultimately decide this election.
Thanks E. I think the thesis or link thereto has been posted before, but a ping anyway.
NOBODY in the PRESS wants to be attacked in the press for being "racially insensitive".
