There is a Michelle/Danielle connection, isn't there?

Of course.
They are both very successful black women from Chicago, for one thing.

Danielle Allen is/was "Professor in Classical Languages & Literatures, Political Science and the Committee on Social Thought," at the University of Chicago. That is, she's not only an "academic," but a thoroughly useless one.

Michelle Obama earns $300,000 plus as "diversity coordinator for University of Chicago Hospitals. That is, she is on the payroll and takes a commission for her husband's "earmarks" to that hospital system.

So yeah, they're both cut from the same scummy piece of cloth.
"Sistahs".

Also, Michelle was an Assistant Dean at the U of C, overlapped by Danielle's Dean of Humanities position.
