If you are out to improve your image, I think The “Hen Pecking” View would be the last place one would choose for that opportunity. Michelle Obama is trying to reveal to us her softer side. The side that says, “I’ve always been proud of our country.”
Michelle Obama was raised in a two-parent, middle class family. She was admitted to Princeton. Reflecting on this experience Michelle says, “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.”
Yeah, yeah, yeah Michelle, that’s all more “feel good” talk we’ve come to expect from an Obama, but your tests really weren’t good enough. Michelle Obama was a part of that affirmative action movement where you might have been above the average but she’s certainly not Ivy League material. She got the preferential treatment to one of America’s most elite institutions to meet a quota.
She says she graduated with honors. Well, that may be true but her thesis, which is posted on the internet, is on the problems faced by a black woman at an Ivy League university. What a stretch, huh?
Here’s a snippet:
“By actually working with the Black lower class or within their communities as a result of their ideologies, a separationist may better understand the desparation of their situation and feel more hopeless about a resolution as opposed to an integrationist who is ignorant to their plight.”
The tenses and grammar are all wrong here and “desperation” is spelled wrong, too. It should be “of their plight” not “to their plight.” To destroy the English language like Michelle Obama has done in her thesis and be rewarded with honors is quite puzzling. This is not a blogpost, this is a culmination reflective of a college career.
Michelle Obama went on to greater accomplishments cashing in on her skin color by getting a position with the University of Chicago’s hospitals. She was to run “programs for community relations, neighborhood outreach, volunteer recruitment, staff diversity, and minority contracting.” Here her salary was $400,000 a year.
You might think with someone getting as many privileges as she has there would be a hint of gratitude. But no, Michelle believes she has really bulled her way through the oppression of the white elites. She turns a “you’re not good enough, but we’ll take you anyway” into a “they said I wasn’t good enough but I proved them wrong.”
Barack Obama wants everyone to “lay off” his wife but when you stand next to and directly influence a man who’s biding for the most powerful position in the free world, that request just isn’t reasonable.
Perhaps Michelle should keep her forked tongue in her mouth until this thing blows over.
