While it may be one source, you should not believe everything that is on Wikipedia. The primary example is where Frank Raines all of a sudden disappeared from being an adviser to Obama. That being said, I will say that there is nowhere that I can find where SHE claims to be an American-Iranian. Others claim it for her (please see website). As I stated before, there is little write-up of her.

The point you are missing is that it doesn't matter two hoots if she is an “American-Iranian”. I am sure there are many proud and honorable American-Iranians who believe in democracy and freedom. Those are not the American-Iranians who are written up in glowing details on Iranian websites. Perhaps I'm just suspicious of anyone who says my fondest memories are of Iran; almost like Michelle saying that for the first time she's proud to be an American. But can you tell me her views on Iran since you seem to know her so well?

That's pretty snarky. No, she never talked about Iran at school. Iran, when she lived there, was under the Pahlavi family rule and very pro-American, a much friendlier place than today. You are looking for something that just isn't there. If it were, someone on FR would have found it a long time ago.
