Enjoy.)Michelle Obama thought she was being snarky when she announced that she had sat at the table with the world’s most powerful people and was smarter than they are. “I’ve been at summits, I’ve sat in at the UN. They are not that smart,” laughed the former first lady. Well, she immediately got destroyed as the 54-year-old’s past came back to haunt her. You’ll love this.
Michelle Obama thinks she is untouchable. She enjoys the fawning mainstream media and how the Hollywood crowd gushes over her every move. And, all of that praise, making the former first lady out to be Mother Teresa, has made Michelle become a legend in her own mind.
“Here’s the secret,” said Michelle to a crowd at England’s Royal Festival Hall
while on her book tour in the United Kingdom. “I’ve been at every powerful table that you can think of. I have worked in non-profits. I have been in foundations, corporations, I’ve served on corporate boards, I’ve been at summits, I’ve sat in at the UN. They are not that smart.”
She’s judging the intelligence of the world’s most powerful leaders, and she’s decided she must be smarter than they are. In response, conservative film-maker Dinesh D-Souza weighed in on Michelle’s claim to be one of the smartest people on earth, reminding people about her college thesis.
Newsweek reports, “Dinesh D’Souza described Michelle Obama’s college thesis as ‘illiterate and incoherent.’ The far-right author and filmmaker launched a scathing attack on the former first lady after she claimed that people at the most powerful organizations in the world were ‘not as smart’ as some portrayed them to be.”
“Anyone who has read Michelle’s college thesis — a document so illiterate and incoherent that it was written, as Christopher Hitchens put it, in ‘no known language’ — will chuckle heartily at this one,” D’Souza wrote on his Facebook page, sharing a link to a Newsweek article that reported Michelle’s remark.
Hitchens has quite a scathing review of Michelle’s lack of intelligence. “I direct your attention to Mrs. Obama’s 1985 thesis at Princeton University. Its title (rather limited in scope, given the author and the campus) is Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community. To describe it as hard to read would be a mistake; the thesis cannot be ‘read’ at all, in the strict sense of the verb. This is because it wasn’t written in any known language,” wrote Hitchens.
Hitchens was warning the world when Barack was running for president that his wife is quite deluded with the dangerous Black Liberation theology, and she had quite a devastating past.
The American Thinker reports:
Scarier than [Barack] Obama’s style, however, is his thinking. A neophyte race-hustler after his three years in Chicago, Obama is keen to browbeat those who would “even insinuate” that affirmative action rewards the undeserving, results in inappropriate job placements, or stigmatizes its presumed beneficiaries.
In the case of Michelle Obama, affirmative action did all three. The partners at Sidley Austin learned this the hard way. In 1988, they hired her out of Harvard Law under the impression that the degree meant something. It did not. By 1991, Michelle was working in the public sector as an assistant to the mayor. By 1993, she had given up her law license.
Had the partners investigated Michelle’s background, they would have foreseen the disaster to come. Sympathetic biographer Liza Mundy writes, “Michelle frequently deplores the modern reliance on test scores, describing herself as a person who did not test well.”
She did not write well, either. Mundy charitably describes her senior thesis at Princeton as “dense and turgid.”
Michelle struggled badly in college. But, that’s not a sin. What became clear, though, is that she decided it wasn’t her fault she struggled, rather, she blamed the system and racial discrimination. Her entire thesis is about how white kids get ahead due to their skin color, so affirmative action is needed.
“My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my ‘Blackness’ than ever before. I have found at Princeton no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my White [sic] professors and classmates try to be toward me, I feel sometimes like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong,” Michelle Obama’s thesis said.
She goes on to say she will never be accepted into “White society” — like the 1980s were the 1860s. Michelle brought her delusions about “white society” to the White House. She saw and still sees racism in everything.
Americans also had something to say about Michelle’s latest rant about being much smarter than the top leaders of the world. Joe Gabriel Simonson tweeted, “Lol a section of Michelle Obama’s Princeton thesis actually begins with ‘Webster’s Dictionary…'”
Zach Ryan questioned the former first lady’s new book, tweeting, “If you read Michelle Obama’s college thesis, then you know she didn’t write that book. Her picture and name may be on the cover, but her brain sure isn’t between the pages.”
Michelle Obama was a mediocre student at best. And, the ironic thing is, if she was white, she never would have gotten into Princeton or Harvard. She should be so darn grateful that Americans are so racially aware and apologetic that we took it to the point where colleges throw out test scores and promote students based on the color of their epidermis.
In fact, if it wasn’t for affirmative action, the former Michelle Robinson would never have met Barack Obama. She would never have made it into Harvard and gotten the coveted job at the law firm that hired Barack.
Maybe she should grow up and stop viewing the world through her black-colored glasses. No sunlight comes through, and everything to Michelle Obama is about her “blackness.” It really is getting old, and at some point, she’ll learn it was never about the color of her skin, it’s about the content of her character, or lack thereof. Martin Luther King Jr. would be shaking his head in disgrace pondering the actions of the first African-American first lady.
