Liar. Spell it right. (and you are wrong - as usual)
Bitter obamatron troll is definately your mantra.
Get on topic - if you are able - Michelle Obama and the FBI Affidavit
On topic..You infered that Michelle Obama was unqualified to sit on the board she was appointed to.
I rebutted that she had graduated Magna Cum Laude from Princeton and had a Harvard JD.
You dismissed her credentials as a product of Afiirmative action here..

In a February 2008 interview with Newsweek, Michelle revealed how she got into Princeton. She herself said that she got in not on the
strength of her unexception grades, but because of her brother Craig, a star athlete and gifted student who preceded her to the school. She got in
as a 'legacy' and as a beneficiary of affirmative action. - her own words.
Those weren't "her own words" and the article never stated "unexception grades".
Those were comments made by a classmate and you lied. Was that miss-spelled?

Guess you have never been to a big university have you maybereal. Well that's ok, your posts are more intelligent than most I read her. Lets see
now, Michelle Obama was Magnum cum laude and you think that's impressive I take it? mmmm I guess if I told you just about everyone in here class
got the same distinction, you would see her as just an average student Cum laude means 'with honor', magna cum laude is 'with high honor', and
summa cum laude means 'with the greatest honor'. These designations are given to every graduate who has maintained the required GPA., so even an
entire class, could graduate cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude.
The valedictorian is the student with the highest academic rank in the class, if you have a class where no one has over a B average, there will still
be a valedictorian but he will not be graduated with honors.
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."

There are plenty senior theses with famous authors lining the shelves of Princeton University's library.
Actors Brooke Shields and Dean Cain used their senior papers to write about the film industry. Actor David Duchovny wrote about Samuel Beckett. Future
politician Bill Bradley wrote about Harry Truman. Ralph Nader explored Lebanese agriculture.
But few senior theses have attracted as much attention as Michelle Obama's 1985 paper, "Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community."
Bloggers have been devouring the 96-page paper since its release. Their interest was heightened by Princeton's initial refusal to make the thesis
publicly available.
Politico.com posted the full thesis.
Plenty of bloggers are posting their takes on the academic musings of a potential future first lady:
From Will Offensicht, blogging at Scragged:
Mrs. Obama correctly noticed that she was judged by the color of her skin rather than by the content of her character. She was black first and a
student second. This is because the Princeton admissions office insisted on admitting students based on the color of their skin rather than on the
content of their qualifications. As long as our society insists on affirmative action programs which give blacks jobs and college positions beyond
their qualifications, as long as society insists on treating people based on the color of their skins, it should be no surprise that people treat
people based on the color of their skins.
We've pointed out that Mr. Obama's success in attracting white voters has shown that since institutional racism is over, affirmative action is no
longer needed. Mr. Obama has convinced enough white voters that he'd be President of all Americans rather than just a black president that he's
close to winning the Democratic nomination. It's time to end the harm done to students like the future Mrs. Obama and end racial preferences. The way
to end racism is to end racism, not to practice it at all levels of government, business, and society at large.
From Mark Gardner, blogging at WhackyNation:
No wonder Princeton University was trying to hide Michelle Obama's senior thesis. The Politico has gotten ahold of it, and, wow! What an angry woman
who has a serious problem with blacks and whites living together in an integrated society.
Barack Obama and the Democrats should face reality. This senior paper dooms any hope of the Obama couple being elected to the White House.
From Steve Sailer's iSteve Blog:
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." . blog.nj.com...
persecution is at least a sigh of personal interest.
Tolerance is composed of nine parts apathy to one of brotherly love
