Michelle recalls things differently. A campaign spokeswoman says she had an edge getting into Princeton not because of affirmative action, but because her older brother was there as a scholar athlete. She was a "legacy," just like any other applicant with family ties to Princeton. Her aides say Michelle earned her way into Harvard on merit by distinguishing herself at Princeton.
Michelle did well enough at Harvard to land a job at Sidley & Austin, a blue-chip corporate-law firm in Chicago

needless to say jet, this is very disappointing. not surprising, but disappointing. and what's worse, on another thread your referred to it as a "newsweek quote".
nice try jet. do us all a favor and raise your game, OK?
take your divisive, race baiting tactics elsewhere....oh, hold on, why would you do that? they're quite popular here in the issues section of TD.
now then, can anyone provide evidence that michelle obama benefited from affirmative action?
and btw, i fully support affirmative action and don't believe that those who have benefited from should feel any level of shame.
