The Irrelevancy Of Mrs. Obama's College Thesis (Princeton puts Michelle Obama'a Thesis on Lockdown)

[null and void]

That too...

Nancy’s husband had already been elected, lol. And,she was HELPFUL to him, overall.

[jdm]

You know what I mean.

[societygirl]

At least Nancy Reagan was great looking, but she was also smart. She knew her name was NOT on the ballot, and knew what to say and what not to, and when. Not Bahama Mama Michelle, who is not even good-looking, lol. She RUINS a suit simply by putting it on.

[purpleraine]

I guess you’re right, they can do whatever they want afterwards. I wish I would have known about the astrologer, I would have been able to direct my vote according to my horoscope. LOL!

[jdm]

Take your favorite Republican candidate, past or present, be it John McCain, Huckabee, Thompson, Romney, etc. Now, imagine that one of their wives wrote a scathing Anti-American, racist paper in college. That wouldn’t impact who you’re voting for?

And I’m not saying Obama’s wife did write such a paper, but why is Princeton being so protective all of a sudden, if there’s no reason to be?

[purpleraine]

Of course it wouldn't. I don't vote for spouses or pay much attention to them. That was my first point.

When you can show me the spouse is pushing the president's policy buttons, sitting on a major cabinet post, or has decided to wear a burqa, then I'll do so.

Example, if I had known that Hills was going to develop the proposal for health care, I would have wanted to know her views. I wasn't voting for him anyway, but it should have been a campaign issue, against them.

[upcountryhorseman]

It does have relevance: We are trying to figure out if these
people are what they pretend to be. On the one hand we have
Obama’s friend and mentor sho is a known communist activist
and on the other we have Mrs. Obama saying she couldn't’t
respect the U. S. during her adult life!

[Lumper20]

They want to hide her Marxist views as much as his.

[Lumper20]

You nailed it.

[societygirl]

MOST of the Presidents and First Ladies have used astrologers and psychics. FDR was famous for that.

[MEGoody]

If Michelle Obama’s thesis is no big deal, why is it on lock down?

[Lumper20]

Exactly. She spoke at a college bitching about hers and her husband’s student loans that she claimed would take years to repay had her brilliant husband not written two best selling books. She ranted about how poor off those seeking to be teachers or in the social field would be.

It was all a bash America, you deserve more right now speech.

[adopt4Christ]

I wouldn’t call her a skank, but I DO agree that she is going to be his undoing. She is quite class-less, actually, for being such an accomplished and intelligent professional. She needs to attend the Laura Bush Charm School to know how to act like a lady.

[societygirl]

She also should look at old footage of Nancy Reagan, in her elegant attire, and should get a load of Jacqueline Kennedy’s old pics.

[cgbg]

it certainly is appropriate to get her on record as saying "I've grown up and no longer believe it".

If you knew the "content of her character" (op cit MLK :-) ) you would know that no matter how wacko leftist the thesis is she will not renounce it.

My guess is that it is an anti-white anti-male diatribe.

Mrs. Obama is the Achilles Heel of the Obama campaign. She is arrogant, hateful, outspoken and will not be silenced.

This will be fun to watch.

If I were Obama I would send her on a nine-month fact-finding tour to a part of the world without cell phone towers.

:-)

[jdm]

Example, if I had known that Hills was going to develop the proposal for health care, I would have wanted to know her views.

Watch Michelle Obama do the same thing, if Obama wins the Presidency.

I think you have to differentiate between which candidates spouses are really into politics and massive change, as the Obama's most certainly are.

Obviously, as you pointed out, Hillary was very political and wanting of power, otherwise she wouldn't have started all that health care BS way back in 1993, not long after Slick Willie was sworn in.

On the other hand, we didn't need to worry about Nancy Reagan or Laura Bush or Barbara Bush because they are not (or were not) as interested in changing the country as we know it as much as BOTH Barack Obama AND Michelle Obama are.

Nancy, Laura and Barbara were more less neutral throughout their husband's presidencies. They are not fanatics like Michelle Obama.

That's the difference.

[Lumper20]

She was alone in a world of whites? I hope not.

So, her thesis was based on black alumni.

[purpleraine]

Well, that settles it then. Let’s have the candidates provide background on their psychics.

[purpleraine]

I worry about anyone that consults their astrology. In NR case, I don't recall her having a big say on national defense of economic policy.

I agree very much with your second paragraph. But I don't trust them to tell us in advance.
