RSSLady Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama’s Substance
Gene Lalor | July 3, 2009
What is it with Democrat First Ladies?
Jackie Kennedy brought an exceptional, if brief, sense of class and savoir faire to that role, perhaps not seen since the 19th century. Lady Bird Johnson may not have been endowed with the classy aplomb of Jackie but she at least kept out of the way with her road beautification projects.
Since then, however, there’s been a reversion to the Eleanor Roosevelt First Lady model of nosing into public policy among Democrat Party first ladies, as if their spouses’ ascensions to the highest office in the land somehow conferred on them positions of influence.
Last time I checked, those presumptions are at variance with our Constitution, just as is Obama’s affection for appointing various czars, who are immune from congressional oversight, to administer his policies.
The Eleanor-reversion began with Rosalyn Carter sitting in on cabinet meetings, an incongruous seat provided by Jimmy probably to relieve her nagging. There’s no record of Rosalyn having made any contribution at those meetings but sitting there seems to have kept her happy.
The reversion made a great leap forward–or backward–when the presumptuous and politically-ambitious co-president Hillary Clinton was awarded her prize in 1993 for standing by her man, Bubba.
Not one to bake cookies, Hillary wanted, demanded, some significant authority, was charged with socializing America’s medical system, and ended up acting as czarina for that era’s health care debacle.
It has now reached its zenith–or nadir– in the person of Lady Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama. 
Not a likable person to begin with despite her efforts to appear so, Michelle lacks any real warmth and her hard edges tend to poke through her sometimes-outlandish getups. She shares an ambition comparable to Hillary’s and darkened by a hidden racial agenda dating back to her college days.
Sharing last week’s White House limelight with Barack during ABC’s health care infomercial was merely the beginning. According to a Washington Post article, Michelle feels she’s a woman of “substance” and plans to get substantively involved in administration policy and decision making: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/24/AR2009062403676.html?hpid=artslot.
In a word, in case anyone hasn’t noticed, Lady Obama is pushy and has Hillary-esque designs to get her way. As that WaPo article delicately points out, she is gearing up to ride the president’s coattails onward ever upward to who knows where.
That thesis might be her albatross, however.
Arriving in the White House toting almost as much baggage as her husband, whose dirty bags were largely covered up by the media, she obviously believes all is forgiven and forgotten about her college thesis and its racial conclusions as well as her confession that she finally felt pride in her country.
The First Lady’s 1985 thesis, titled, “Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community,” was written by the then Michelle LaVaughn Robinson as a graduation requirement at Princeton. It incorporates a number of startling, and revealing, statements by the undergrad that demonstrate distinct racist and separationist rather than integrationist inclinations.
They reveal an extremely race-conscious individual who, over four years, said she “felt I really don’t belong” and that to white Princetonians, “I will always be black first and a student second.”
She also felt that her degree from that very liberal school would lead her to something she did not wish, namely, “further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; [sic] never becoming a full participant.”
She conducted a survey of black Princeton grads which led her to ruefully conclude that they had essentially sold out to the white social and power structure and effectively turned their backs on their black roots.
Even more telling is Michelle’s endorsement of, “Such leaders as Stokely Carmichael” who “were stressing the need for Blacks to separate themselves from White society in order to strengthen the Black community.”
Carmichael, aka Kwame Toure, 
was a racist Black Panther, Black Power, Black Liberationist activist in the 1960’s who advocated for America losing in Viet Nam and the violent overthrow of the country.

For the complete text of that thesis, which Princeton attempted to suppress until after the election, see: http://obamaprincetonthesis.wordpress.com/.
Ms. Robinson was clearly not happy with the attitudes of her white fellow students nor with her survey’s findings on the attitudes of black alumni. In sum, she wasn’t a very happy American, which accounted for her outrageous admission during the presidential campaign that she had never been proud of her country until her hubby looked as if he might win.
There is a great deal of substance to First Lady Michelle and a great deal of it has yet to be seen. Unfortunately for her, should she go on to be president, Kwame Toure can’t be in her cabinet. He died after the CIA gave him cancer, or so he said.
Is this the true Michelle?
