The Irrelevancy Of Mrs. Obama's College Thesis (Princeton puts Michelle Obama'a Thesis on Lockdown)

I have received a lot of e-mail regarding Princeton's apparent decision to embargo Michelle Obama's college thesis. A few purported quotes have begun floating through the ether, which seems surprising if the Obamas have conspired to keep the paper buried at Princeton. The messages all seem to believe that the thesis contains something explosive, especially in terms of racial politics.

Maybe it does, and maybe it doesn't. Why would anyone be surprised if it did? To paraphrase one of the great lines from South Park, there's a time and a place for radical thought, and it's called college. Mrs. Obama wrote the paper 20 years ago, while living in the cocoon of academia. I doubt that it reflects her current state of mind.

It's not quite as bad as going back to Barack's kindergarten essays, but it's just about as irrelevant. Most importantly, Michelle Obama isn't the candidate. Her speeches on behalf of her husband now are relevant and fair game for criticism, but Mrs. Obama didn't write her college thesis as an argument for her future husband's election. When people dissected Hillary Clinton's thesis, it at least had some limited relevancy because of her own candidacy -- and even then reflected the state of mind of a woman in her early 20s, and not the state of mind of the same woman over 30 years later.

So far, Michelle Obama has given critics plenty of source material in the present campaign. Better to focus on that than to go on a silly spelunking tour of the college papers of someone who isn't running for office.

“Her thesis got out. It was a stupid list of stuff about Saul Alinsky. But she wrote so poorly, it had no real point. So there’s not much juicy stuff there.”

I noticed the same thing. I was taken totally by surpise. It was very, very pooly written. I wondered at the time how she ever got through college.

No wonder she can’t make anything work her way. She is but a very dim bulb in the room.

Thank you for the link.

Just finished reading hdr’s 92 page tribute to her mentor, Saul Alinsky and can only say “wow, what a naive communist”.

Alinsky spent 1939 through 1946 ‘organizing’ in Chicago——when our boys were fighting the Nazi war machine and dying on the beaches of the South Pacific.

Lends insight to her dislike for the military, and her “political faith” as she puts it.

Michelle Obama hasn’t said one thing about the US before the year 2007 that would make her proud to be a citizen of the greatest nation in the history of mankind that has placed her amongst the most privliged of the elite in this country.

I never thought that I would see a spouse of a presidential candidate who was more of a radical, narcissistic, arrogant, hubristic, self-entitled, and maddening solipsist than Hilary Clinton. To the nation’s dismay, I think we have found her.

The ascendency of BHO is the realization of the efforts of all the Cultural Marxists whose ideas were nurtered by the Gramcians who set up the Frankfurt School and spawned cultural radicals like Erich Fromm, Herbert Marcuse, and Theodore Adorno. Their intellectual progeny are thoroughly ensconced in the MSM, academia, Hollywood, and most importantly in the George Soros directed modern day Democratic Party which is the nest for all the Vipers on the left, the racial identity determininists, the radical feminists, the sexual deviationist lobby, the “watermelon” environmentalists, the open borders crowd and the anti-war seditionists who seek to steal from our magnificent armed forces the victory that they have earned with their blood and valor in the SAME MANNER as they stole our hard earned victory from those of us who are Vietnam vets.
Their apotheosis is the religion of Obama, the Lucifer deciever who would lead this great nation to Fabian Socialist HELL!!!
Spread the word!!!

Many black women, of ANY belief, despise white women, and their own country. They are FOAMING with hatred for just about everything, even the educated ones. On the other hand, many black women feel they are “superior” to white women, and feel that they are shunted aside because of “racism.” Michelle Obama is a perfect example of that. Deep down inside, they really feel inferior to EVERYBODY, especially white women, but to men, too. All you would have to do to get Michelle to go off like a rocket, is to tell you she is ugly, stupid, smelly, has nappy hair, and that white women, when they think of black women, laugh at them. Laughing in a black woman’s face is a sure way to make them go ballistic... and to hurt them deeply. You are basically kicking them in the gut, and they NEED to be.
