In order to actually debunk the first e-mails about Michelle Obama's thesis, one first has to read the thesis in its entirety. If one does not do that, one can neither legimately support or defend the thesis. All those efforts either way are nothing but sound and fury. Do you really think that Obama's thesis committee could just get away with reading part of it? No thesis is designed to be critiqued in the way in which most of you are doing it. By critiqued, I mean that it cannot be either praised or criticized piecemeal. For those too lazy to read it, I can only say that you are making fools of yourselves.
Maureenodonnell is also right (she is often right) in this: You simply cannot assume that someone thinks in their 40s as they did in their 20s. If anyone were to do so, it would merely indicate an appalling lack of intellectual growth. Do you who are 25 think as you did when you were five? Do you are 45 think as you did when you were 25? If so, I certainly feel sorry for you.
