Duflo, who was raised in a “left-leaning Protestant” family, said she became aware of economic divides and social injustice at a very early age.

“I was always conscientious of the gap between my existence and that of the world’s poor,” she told weekly French magazine l’Express in a January, 2011 article. “As a child, I was extremely troubled by the complete randomness of chance that I was born in Paris to an intellectual, middle class family, when I could have just as easily been born in Chad. It’s a question of luck. It inspired in me a sense of responsibility.”

Duflo’s research has largely focused on microeconomic issues in developing countries and looks at areas such as education, access to finance as well as health and policy evaluation...

If Obama's momma had a daughter...

What breed is that dog, and why did you find it necessary to post a picture of it?

And another Dufuss has been added to the ALL dufuss gaggle that surround this fly-infested, America-hating, non-American sociopath’s retinue of idiots.

And she would have to be beautiful.

Heavy hitting on her by Obama’s circle of lesbians and other assorted sexes.

Just another unhappy, guilt-ridden Subaru driver who’s going to punish the productive and give to the impoverished to further her own twisted sense of equality.

Instead of plundering the wealth created through the sweat of others, maybe she could just write a check on her own account instead?

Whenever anyone labels themselves and their families as “intellectual”, head for the hills!

I’d like to offer a big “Thank you” to all the pinheaded moron asshat degenerates who voted nobama to a second term as I struggle to find some humor in nobama’s drive toward the destruction of America. Thank you for possibly awakening people to the rank idiocy of socialism and liberalism.

Renowned? How come her name is not a household word? She’s a red-diaper baby, like Obama, and has a mind poisoned by Communism and unable to reason.

French liberal, to me, is discrediting. Hollande in France put in a 75-80% tax rate, enough that one of their leading actors went to RUSSIA for lower taxes.

Here’s the French antidote (written over 160 years ago) to this poison...

“The present-day delusion is an attempt to enrich everyone at the expense of everyone else; to make plunder universal under the pretense of organizing it.”

Why are the leftist liberals so damn ugly?

Is it something in the liberal pie they eat daily?
