Friday, February 22, 2008 Michelle Obama's thesis unblocked The Obama camp has now released Michelle Obama's senior thesis at Princeton. So far, I've read the Dedication and the first couple of pages of the Introduction, and that's plenty. You've got to be impressed with how ruthless Senator Obama is -- he'll humiliate his poor wife by releasing her semi-literate college graduation maunderings just so he can say, "Let's move on." DEDICATION To Mom, Dad, Craig [her brother], and all of my special friends: Thank-you for loving me and always making me feel good about myself. And here's part of her creatively punctuated Introduction: "The purpose of this study is to examine various attitudes of Black Princeton alumni in their present state and as they are perceived by the alumni to have changed over time. ... "These experiences have made it apparent to me that the path I have chosen to follow by attending Princeton will likely lead to my further integration and/or assimilation into a White cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant. This realization has presently, made my goals to actively utilize my resources to benefit the Black community more desirable." Well, thank-you. You have presently, made my day; never having a better one. (I originally figured this 1985 thesis was created on a typewriter, which would have made it harder to fix typos, but the columns are justified, so it was done on some sort of word processor. Still, Princeton grads are supposed to know that there is no hyphen in "thank you" ...) So, it looks like Barack has had his vengeance on Michelle for calling him "stinky" and "snore-y." Okay, it's schoolgirlish in style, especially compared to her husband's sonorous mature prose, but she was only 21 when she wrote it. The important thing, though, is that the artlessness of her writing allows the meaning to shine through more obviously than in Dreams From My Father -- but it's the same Story of Race and Inheritance. And she sure has some self-esteem issues, doesn't she? I think that's part of her appeal to the Oprah audience: her inflated but fragile ego. Oprah's fans can identify with Mrs. Obama. People were always telling them that they weren't smart enough either; and, yet, here they are, sitting around watching daytime TV. Who's laughing now? For some reason, Mrs. Obama's psyche always reminds me of Steve Martin's climactic speech in "Three Amigos:" "In a way, each of us has an El Guapo to face. For some, shyness might be their El Guapo. For others, a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo is a big, dangerous man who wants to kill us. But as sure as my name is Lucky Day, the people of Santa Poco can conquer their own personal El Guapo, who also happens to be the actual El Guapo!"

After reading Michelle Obama's undergraduate thesis, how did she graduate *** laude from Pinceton? How did she get into Harvard law? Her thesis is full of typos, grammatical, spelling and punctuation errors. It contains double negatives and run-on sentences that are 70 words in length. politico.com. politico.com. politico.com. dyn.politico.com. * 6 months ago Additional Details 6 months ago Pardon the spelling error. Reading her thesis (which I did) belies any assertion that she is anything other than average in intelligence. Her thesis indicates that she got into Princeton because of affirmative action. 6 months ago I didn't get into Princeton because I'm white. My SAT was 1520. I'll bet you any amount you want that my SAT was 200 points or more higher than hers. I didn't get into Harvard Law because I'm white. My LSAT of 751 (taken in 1976) was high enough to get me into Harvard Law. I'll bet hers was significantly lower than that. I'll bet she was given financial assistance. I couldn't afford it. 6 months ago forestbythesea: I have a grown child who scored higher on his SAT than I did (missed 4 questions, 2 on each part). Was turned down by Harvard, Princeton and MIT and not one scholarship offer. It's acceptable to discrminate against a white male. The point of my posting that information is that it proves the unfairness of affirmative action. My thesis was written 8 years before Michelle Obama, contained 0 typing, spelling, punctuation and grammar errors. I've also read Hillary Clinton's thesis. I don't agree with that socialist crap she wrote, but it is perfect and much better written. answers.yahoo.com
