Hey buddy, what are you doing this weekend? We need your help getting some doc's. How about a free roundtrip ticket to Newark airport and a $500 gift card to China Buffet?

I doubt that it reflects her current state of mind.

I don't. Liberals are stuck in adolescences. No doubt she still believes every racists, Marxist word. Just like Hillary.

[GOPJ]

I’ll bet the New York Times isn’t interested in what she wrote - well unless it makes her look great. Not that they’re biased or anything...

[SengirV]

I doubt that it reflects her current state of mind

LOL!!!!! Given her "this is the 1st time I've been proud of America" line, I'm sure her paper TOTALLY reflects her current state of mind.

[Greg F]

What is the matter with Morrissey? The Obama’s go to a church that has given Luis Farakhan an award . . . nothing has been repudiated and if she wrote some racially hateful stuff . . . we should know it.

Need a freedom of information type lawsuit to get this thing opened up.

[tennteacher]

Shades of Clintonian tactics.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Hmmm...I wonder is Michelle's thesis was anything like Hillary's senior thesis?

[Steely Tom]

Hillary digs up her opponents kindergarten writings, but keeps what she wrote in college under wraps. No one notices, or cares. Go figure.

[apocalypto]

This raises red flags. Where are you Sandy Berger now that we need you?

[dmz]

I am going to immediately contact my alma mater to ensure that my undergrad honors thesis is locked down. My views back then on the philosophy of science, if discovered today, would be absolutely earth shaking.

[Jeff F]

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.

Fair enough, however both she and her husband should be allowed to either support and reject views and arguments she placed before the public all those years ago.

If she has grown beyond the narrow views of relative youth and the insular embrace of academia, then she should be allowed to demonstrate her present maturity. If not, then we deserve to know.

[SpringheelJack]

I’d agree that the thesis itself doesn’t matter much — if there’s anything outlandish Michelle Obama can just disown it by saying she was a college student not yet in contact with the real world, and that’s not what she believes now.

What is a problem, though, is this attempt to suppress it. That says something about her and the Obama campaign right now. (Princeton will take the fall for it, but the Obamas could have it out in an instant if there wasn’t something in there they were scared of.)

It’s not a big issue, but it definitely stinks.

[Southack]

Perhaps it brings up larger issues...such as college thesis papers being irrelevant to everything...or that colleges are promoting radicalism...or that colleges are ignoring overt, hostile racism in thesis's...or that colleges are ignoring overt plagiarism (for protected students, anyway).

That Princeton wants to hide the thesis may or may not be related to the current political 2008 campaign...Their reasoning may be to hide far larger sins of their own faculty/administration.

[SE Mom]

What I’d like to read is Obama’s college thesis. I’ve done a search and am unable to locate one..

[pointsal]

Just want to see the document and compare it to recent remarks.... that's fair, right?

[ilgipper]

It would appear that her husband’s intellect and world view has not matured since his Harvard days. Why would we expect his wife to have advanced her thought process past the idealistic views of a college campuses?

[null and void]

Didn’t Hillary!™ do the same with her thesis?

[gunservative]

Come on, Hillary operatives, dig that one out by any means necessary!

[purpleraine]

When did Mrs. Obama declare her candidacy? Are we now running against the opposition’s entire family?

[gedeon3]

"there's a time and a place for radical thought, and it's called college"

Yeah? I bet this a$$hole would not be saying that if it was a republican white man, who was a member of the KKK in college. I bet the univeristy would not lock his thesis either.
