Her thesis is relevant because it shows 1) that she is a beneficiary of Affirmative Action"<BR/><BR/>No her thesis does not show this, it lightly implies this. There's a huge difference here. In order for her thesis to show that she was the beneficiary of affirmative action, one would have to compare it to the thesi of random others in her program, and this was not done. From my experience with the so called cream-of-the-crop, I think you would be highly surprised as to their mediocre writing abilities.<BR/><BR/>"and 2) her overweening concern with race,"<BR/><BR/>Dear. most Americans do have an overwhelming concern with race, that is in large part why this blog exists. I don't think it's right nor do I buy into it, but most people do and that comes back to a double standard i.e. why is it that you are allowed your prejudices and M.O is not.<BR/><BR/>"Can you see how white Americans might be rubbed the wrong way by a woman - a strong, dominant personality, unlike most of the women on your silly, unnecessarily long list - with such a pedigree?"<BR/><BR/>Yes I can, and it's been happening since the 70's with Bella Abzug, but the difference here is that Michelle Obama is not running for political office, her husband is. As I stated in earlier posts, by any logical comparison Hillary Clinton and Teresa Kerry would be considered much stronger and more "dominant" whatever that is then Michelle Obama. You could even make a case for Elizabeth Dole, but they did not fall under this type of scrutiny. Therefore I can only conclude one thing: Michelle Obama lives under a very harsh double standard that probably more than counterbalances any advantage she may have gotten at 17 years old. If she had the same personality and had gone to Illinois junior college would there be any less scrutiny here? I think not, and there would be probably more, vis-a-vis "geez, the president's wife could only muster up a junior college education...what an idiot these blacks are!"<BR/><BR/>"Truth, you're being disingenuous in your defense of Michelle Obama."<BR/><BR/>I have not written one word in defense of Michelle or even Barack Obama. I would not vote for him,and don't give a damn if he wins or loses as I feel that he is a Bilderberg shill (as are the two others). The only candidate in this race I gave serious thought to was Ron Paul and he dropped out of the race. My only defense here is of the truth, logic and fairness.

The Jena 6 event indicated a high degree of anti-white racism (just as some of what happened with the Katrina disaster showed anti-black racism), but overall it seems more common among black leaders like Sharpton & Jackson than among blacks in general; which is not the case with whites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-4753127011219170882008-03-06T14:23:00.000-08:002008-03-06T14:23:00.000-08:00Truth, you're being disingenuous in your defense o...Truth, you're being disingenuous in your defense of Michelle Obama.

White politicians have plenty. For black politicians running for major office (governor, senator, president) it's proving that they're not deep in thrall to black radicalism and the politics of victimization. Barack's choice of churches raises the issue for him. His wife's behavior makes it more worrisome.<BR/><BR/>But as I said above, convincing the majority population that you're not into radicalism and victimization isn't a very high bar to cross.<BR/><BR/><I>The same can be said about blacks.

As you may remember the Clintons offered themselves as a two-for-the-price-of-one deal, and as such, the scrutiny of Mrs. Clinton was quite justified. Hillary was given authority within the government and was certainly a strong influence on her husband's actions, so her background and beliefs were fair game. <BR/><BR/>Obama's campaign has not explicitly mentioned the 2-for-1 deal.

This is particularly the case in states that before the Red-Blue divide were formerly “battle-ground” states, such as Ohio (trending Blue after being Red), New Jersey (now solidly Blue), and the upcoming Pennsylvania. If Obama’s weakness with blue collar and older white voters remains the case, he will put some of those states into play against McCain. I just don’t see Hillary losing those states to McCain, or even having to worry about them. <BR/><BR/>As even Kabala’s list indicates, Obama’s list of states that he won that neither he nor Clinton stands a chance of winning is multiple times longer. Obama is virtually limited to winning states with large black blocks or states that are virtually all white (Vermont-Blue, Idaho-Red, North Dakota-Red etc.). <BR/><BR/>Note also that Kabala didn’t mention Louisiana, which isn’t going Democrat, period. I also doubt that Obama can win a general election in Iowa or Virginia and will struggle in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Colorado.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-32827358812116252222008-03-05T19:42:00.000-08:002008-03-05T19:42:00.000-08:00Just as John Kerry once forgot Poland, I forgot (o...Just as John Kerry once forgot Poland, I forgot (or rather overlooked, since I was looking at a written list) Oklahoma (solid Republican state for Clinton).<BR/><BR/> P.S.
