Vanity: "America is just downright mean."
March 5, 2008 | self

No wonder Michelle has never been proud of the USA. Today she is quoted by the New Yorker as saying that America is "mean, slothful, and complacent."

Yah, she would make a real fine, classy, First Lady. Uhhuh. Sure.
What a racist, anti American, self absorbed witch! I cannot wait to see how Obama spins this one.

Makes you also wonder what Mr. Obama thinks and says when he is not being quoted.

The goal is always the same.

- Redefine weakness as strength. Example: The fact that he has NO military, executive, or business experience; that he’s a junior Senator is turned on its head and twisted to be a positive. After all, he’s not part of the Washington establishment and he’s for change.

- Make everything that’s negative off limits. Look, everyone knows why Obama is special and why anyone mentioning his name has to think carefully about the words chosen, but it’s getting ridiculous. Obama is running for public office. He’s asking people to vote for him, to put him into the most powerful office in any free state. He’s asking to become the most influential person on this planet and those considering voting for him want to know who he is, what he’s about, etc. The battle of the primaries and presidential office is supposed to be bloody. It’s part of the game and it even serves a purpose, forcing a vetting process, weeding out the weak or slow, uncovering dirt, and ensuring the people see these candidates not only the way they want to present themselves hugging children.

Michelle, if you can’t take the heat or don’t like it, quit! No one is “forcing” you to be the first lady or Obama the President.

There are rules, there is bad taste, but your feelings aren’t the litmus test. Obama already gets special treatment from his own party and the Republicans. Don’t cry us a sob story about America being “mean.” You’re a boxer, standing in the ring whining about having been hit in the nose. Whine to much, and the audience will “boo” you away.

Personally, I think she should be compelled to release her college thesis. I suspect it’s chock-full of angry, racist anti-American diatribes.

She did release it, you can find it with a Google search. Princeton just won't release it directly any more. From what I remember it was fairly boring, definitely not full of any of the kind of rhetoric she's been spouting lately. She basically sent out surveys to a few hundred Afro-American graduates to get their opinions on how life as a Black Professional in America is, then reported her findings.

Well, we really know what this means, and her racism is showing.

She may want to be, but she never will be.
Jackie was a lady, Michele is a whiner.

Her stump speech has been full of this nonsense, about how America is broken, and her husband is the only one who can fix it. This is not taken in isolation or out of context. She says this sort of nonsense all the time.

"Personally, I think she should be compelled to release her college thesis. I suspect it’s chock-full of angry, racist anti-American diatribes."

Personally, I liked to see Mrs. Clinton release her college thesis, which I believe she had demanded it be kept under lock and key. I wonder why? Could it be she wrote about her stalinist mentor, Saul Alinksy, and all of the hateful rhetoric denigrating America? What does Mrs. Clinton want to hide? Does her thesis outline her plans to affect radical change in America?

Just wondering why no ones cares about her college thesis and why she wants it hidden?

She may be better educated that the average American, but an IQ can’t buy you class or respect.

Something is shallow here, either her character or her education.

"...America is "mean, slothful, and complacent."...

Compared to what?
I'm inclined to agree with her (somewhat ) when compared to America of yesteryear - but compared to the rest of the world today I'd find the adjectives: 'generous', 'hard-working', 'inventive', to be a better fit. Yes, we have a growing underbelly of an entitlement class -- nonetheless, when compared to the rest of the world - warts and all, America blows the rest of the places away (although we're certainly not what we should be...).

Her Priceton thesis is just more racist whining and handwringing.

If you read some of what she wrote you will see that she got an early start using her race as a crutch to justify her own racism and her hate for America and Whitey.

Her thesis was available on line but it seems to have been recently blocked by the college, however much of the content seems to be avaliable at different blogs.

Just google "michelle obama college thesis" and you will find tons of links.

Here are a few good ones:

Michelle Obama’s thesis embargoed until after the election?

Michelle Obama thesis was on racial divide

Mrs. Obama as an Ivy League schoolgirl
