There is a little ugly-but-true hit piece (the best kind) on Michelle Obama from Dinesh D’Souza at Townhall.
Consider the case of Michelle Obama. She was raised in a two-parent, middle-class family. She applied to one of America’s top universities, Princeton, and was admitted. Of this experience, Michelle says on the stump, “All my life I have confronted people who had a certain expectation of me. Every step of the way, there has been people telling me what I couldn’t do. When I applied to Princeton, they said: you can’t go there, your test scores aren’t high enough.”
Which is all very moving, except that her test scores weren’t high enough. Michelle Obama is part of the affirmative action generation of above-average but far-from-stellar performers who were granted preferential admission to America’s most elite institutions.
Michelle notes that she graduated with honors in her major. Again, the problem is that her undergraduate thesis is on the web. You might expect that she wrote about Shakespeare’s sonnets or the political evolution of W.E.B. Du Bois. Well, no. Essentially Michelle Obama wrote about the problems of being a black woman at an Ivy League university.
In this post, Michelle Obama: Blacks Who Assimilate Into “White Culture” Are Uncle Toms, Michelle vents and whines about how unfair everything is. From her thesis. Read the rest of this entry »
Last week those paragons of tolerance and harmony at Daily Kos published an image of the KKK torturing Michelle Obama. When the blowback became too much to bear, they pulled it. It’s like a suspect eating the telephone number of his drug dealer when the police arrive. The problem is, there is no paper on the internet and the guys at Little Green Footballs captured the evidence.
Well, they have been at it again. According to Kos, if you don’t vote for Obama, you deserve to be mutilated and die in the war. Read the rest of this entry »
Barack Obama is getting a little nervous that his wife’s rants will torpedo the election, so he issued a stern warning yesterday to her would-be critics.
“But I do want to say this to the GOP. If they think that they’re going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful. Because that I find unacceptable,” he said.
Obama praised his wife’s patriotism and said that for Republicans “to try to distort or to play snippets of her remarks in ways that are unflattering to her I think is just low class … and especially for people who purport to be promoters of family values, who claim that they are protectors of the values and ideals and the decency of the American people to start attacking my wife in a political campaign I think is detestable.”
First of all, this is low class. The Dems, having perfected the art, apparently don’t want the Republicans to get that dirty. Read the rest of this entry »
Michelle is not the kind of person most people like to be around. She is constantly whining about how hard everything is, with her Princeton and Harvard educations and all. It really must be a pressure cooker at the Obama house at the end of the month figuring out where the mortgage money is going to come from. Especially with such meager incomes.
Senator Barack Obama released his 2007 tax return on Wednesday evening, reporting a household income of $4.2 million due to a sharp increase in the sales of his books during the first year of his presidential campaign.
