Based on the shoddiness of Danielle's "research" on this matter -- and her refusal to address the historical facts at the root of suspicions regarding Obama's Muslim background --- it appears that Affirmative Action comes into play when determining the standards for "genius".

That would not be a surprise, considering the following under Danielle S. Allen of the Institute for Advanced Study...

"A.B. Princeton University (summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa), 1993"

Recall Michelle Obama's thesis from that institution...the one that was written like it was from a girl in junior high. (I recall even on the first page, one of the sentences had three BASIC grammatical errors [e.g., comma splice] in it!)

Dr. Danielle Allen is as much an embarrassment as Mrs. Obama, but it's not surprising or unusual in the modern American Academy. Her grammar might be a bit better, and she does have a bit better understanding of things that the young Michelle, but her analysis is embarrassingly gap-filled and fundamentally flawed.

I have to wonder if Danielle Allen's investigations are intentionally biased because of political intent only, or if these are driven by funding, too.
