Here is the paragraph immediately following the one you quoted:

"Michelle recalls things differently. A campaign spokeswoman says she had an edge getting into Princeton not because of affirmative action, but because her older brother was there as a scholar athlete. She was a "legacy," just like any other applicant with family ties to Princeton. Her aides say Michelle earned her way into Harvard on merit by distinguishing herself at Princeton."

In other words she did it just like the white people do,  just like George W Bush did, except that his dad was wealthy and he was a C student.  I suppose if she had been wealthy instead of having to borrow the money to go to Princeton she would be above reproach for people like you. 

You have a disdain for the poor folks that sounds almost neurotic.  Was your dad poor?  Did you resent him for it? 


"It's so easy. Effortless, really."

Yeah, I can tell it's "effortless". You clearly don't bother to read what you post.  Read the whole article and it won't be quite as "effortless".   

Why don't you just admit it?  You don't like her because you don't agree with Obama's politics and you smear her because you don't really have a hell of a lot to smear Obama with.  It also doesn't help that she's black, she's a woman,  and she's not a pushover, she doesn't know her "place".    Your candidate is weak and he doesn't excite anyone but the buzzards circling above his head, so you can't sell him on his own merit.  Spit it out, you'll feel so much better.
