Malia, Michelle, Barack and the College Admissions Scandal

[volsrock]

The media pretend to be shocked. In an editorial on the scandal, the New York Times singled out Harvard University for its “special admissions preferences and back doors for certain applicants.” This is the same New York Times, however, that published an entirely uncritical article three years prior headlined, “Malia Obama Rebels, Sort of, by Choosing Harvard.”

Malia is the fourth member of the Obama family to attend that august university, none of whom, save perhaps for Grandpa Obama, deserved to be there.

Let’s start with Obama Sr., the only member of the extended family to attend college before the affirmative action/diversity era. Obama arrived at Harvard in the early 1960s with the goal of getting a Ph.D. in economics. According to biographer Sally Jacobs, Obama “struggled” with his studies but managed to get a Masters degree.



Alas, the university booted him on moral grounds before he could get his doctorate. An inveterate playboy despite his two ongoing marriages, Obama had an affair with a high-school girl. Denied his Ph.D., says Jacobs, “He goes on to claim the title, nonetheless. He's Dr. Obama. The older he gets, the more he claims it.” As will be seen, intellectual fraud runs in the family.

Michelle was the next to attend Harvard, in her case Harvard Law School. “Told by counselors that her SAT scores and her grades weren’t good enough for an Ivy League school,” writes Christopher Andersen in Barack and Michelle, “Michelle applied to Princeton and Harvard anyway.”



Michelle even typed badly. Still, she was admitted to and graduated from Princeton and Harvard Law. I have been told by those on the inside that there are ways of recognizing affirmative-action admissions. Still, one almost feels sorry for Michelle. She was in so far over her head it is no wonder she projected her angst onto the white people around her. “Regardless of the circumstances underwhich [sic] I interact with whites at Princeton,” she wrote in the opening of her thesis, “it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second."

Barack was the smarter and better educated half of the couple. That said, had Obama’s father come from Kentucky not Kenya and been named O’Hara not Obama, there would been no Harvard Law Review, no Harvard, no Columbia.

American Thinker is a conservative daily online magazine dealing with American politics, foreign policy, national security, Israel, economics, diplomacy, culture and military strategy.[2][3] It was founded in 2003 by Ed Lasky, a Northbrook lawyer, Richard Baehr, a Chicago health care consultant, and Thomas Lifson, a Berkeley, Calif., sociologist and business adviser.[4]
Writing in The New York Times, Felicity Barringer credited American Thinker with initiating a public outcry over a California plan to require programmable thermostats which could be controlled by officials in the event of power supply difficulties.[5]

Conservative commentator of the week: American Thinker's Ed Lasky
Congratulations to our friend Ed Lasky, editor of the AmericanThinker.com website. Today CBS News is carrying a piece naming Mr. Lasky as "the fulcrum" of an so-called "Obama smear machine," and it's based right here in Northbrook Illinois. . .
At the fulcrum of this effort is a little-known blogger from Northbrook, Illinois, named Ed Lasky, whose articles on AmericanThinker.com have done more than anything to give the smear campaign an air of respectability. Lasky co-founded AmericanThinker.com in 2003, modeling it after Powerline, a popular conservative blog. Before that, he had frequently written letters to newspapers defending Israel and criticizing the Palestinians. Though his background remains a mystery, Lasky didn't hide his neoconservative leanings. He wrote a blog post in 2004 titled "Why American Jews Must Vote for Bush," made three separate donations to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, contributed $1,000 to Tom DeLay and has given more than $50,000 to GOP candidates and causes since 2000. Lasky sits on the board of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, headed by Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, whose close affiliations with Christian-right operatives like Ralph Reed has made Eckstein a controversial figure in the Jewish community.

How pathetic the MSM is when they're been shown up by resourceful and persistent internet journalists like Mr. Lasky. It's people like Mr. Lasky who renew our confidence in our fellow man.

Remember when the Obamas pretended to be shocked when the news got out that they let their nubile daughter intern under their good friend Humpin' Harvey Weinstein?

looks to me like this OP is just one more example of the right wing's #1 deflection for literally any accusation - "that's what you are but what am I?"

Didn't Jared Kushner's father 'donate' $2.5 million to get him into college? And I am betting trump paid to get his 4 stupid children into college.

And lets not forget affirmative action helped Ben Carson and Condaleeza Rice into college. These 2 wouldn't have been allowed in if they weren't black.

The Obamas wanted their intelligent daughters to learn about work and not expect to have everything handed to them on a silver platter.

Unlike the lazy, stupid trump cunts who have never worked a day in their lives.

Who told you that?

Did learning about work include interning under Humpin' Harvey Weinstein?

[christiefan915]

The Obamas wanted their intelligent daughters to learn about work and not expect to have everything handed to them on a silver platter.

Unlike the lazy, stupid trump cunts who have never worked a day in their lives.

trump pledged almost $1.5 million to get two of the kids into Wharton. And Jared's parents donated about $2.5 million to get him into Harvard. So it appears those kids weren't the brightest sparks in the education universe.
