It might have something to do with the "cum laude honors", don't you think?

Erm, looks to me like her distractors are "racist", the offensive comments in this thread are just a small sample, me thinks...

Easiest classes in uni; anyone who needed an extra credit took a soc class -- they could sleep thru and still ace it. Stupid enough to get a soc degree, and you never get a job (well, bus driver or Walmart greeter, maybe) unless you take a master's in something else. Psych and logic are better choices, IMO. I took those as non-credit classes coz I already had a full course load in Asian studies.

Original drivel is still drivel - sorry.

You took the quote out of context, and refuse to explain how you arrived at the peculiar statement you posted.

^ Thanks for the link, Boonie. Alot of words, but not much content. The New Yorker is losing its touch.

Can you imagine what people who admit they are racist sound like?

Barack, Michelle, hang on to your hats.

no doubt. it's time to move forward out of the economic and foreign policy disasters the bush white house has gotten the US into.

going back to the 90s won't help anything....and everybody knows bill would take any position offered him by the obama white house.

"Michelle Obama is instructive. She's a depressing specimen of a post-modern class of victim -- demanding, whining, self-absorbed, self-pitying, and infantile."

An objective analysis of Obama's wife is outlined here.

Not sure Michelle is a "victim"???
And don't be misled by a few clever sounding terms like "post-modern class of victim", Booner. Still, the quoted sentence sounds nice as it says what the loyal visitor of the blog wants to read.

"Objective", "analysis"? - neither of the two, it is a piece which attempts to reveal contradictions in order to discredit.
Let's just have a quick look at the first bit of the blog entry:

The first 1989 paragraph is almost entirely copied from an article in the sensationalist tabloid "The Mail", with a few unacknowledged omissions and additions to the text.

The claim: "Instead of the one-room tenement that now appears in most accounts of her upbringing, we found a well-kept neighborhood of red-brick Arts and Craft-style houses which have long been home to respectable black families."

From chicagomag, linked to in the blog:
"Michelle Obama, 40, grew up on Chicago's South Side. Her working-class parents rented the top floor of a two-flat from her great-aunt, who lived downstairs and taught Michelle to play the piano. Her mother stayed home with her and Craig, two years older, until they reached high school, when she took a job as an administrative assistant."

No mention of a single room, but a floor in the house of a relative. "Well-kept" and "working class" do not exclude each other. It continues to point out that the salary was higher than that of a High-school teacher at the time, as if that would somehow make the family "middle-class"
- this is spin, not "analysis".

Sorry, I didn't bother reading further, a lot of exaggerating and discrediting there, as one would expect from a site called "freedomsenemies" with a partisan agenda.

You need to learn to assess your sources and not to mistake a sloppily put-together opinion piece for "objective analysis", Boon Mee.

^ Some lessons in social graces, poise and etiquette would not go amiss for this chick.
Most importantly, she is racist IMO and if she gets her way, there will be an even greater divide in the US. Barack will shovel funds to cash-strapped home-owners who should never have been given a mortgage in the first place. He'll let the financial sector die and shift the spotlight on how wonderful his relations with the mideast are doing. It ain't gonna happen (Bambi speak for "this will not happen.")
Sure, I think it's great that a black is running for president, but too many racial slips are popping up. Good thing neither he nor Hilde have the lead. Don't the Dems have a worthy candidate in the wings?

What's your opinion based on? Something she's said or done, that one should know about?
And what would "her way" be?
I hope you don't think putting cash into underprivileged communities qualifies as 'racism'?
