What's the great accomplishment? Getting into Princeton based on affirmative action, then getting into law school based on affirmative action, and then getting an over $100,000K salaried job based on affirmative action, and then getting a $300,000K salaried job based on your husband's political ties, and then getting up on a podium and saying how great this country is (something she didn't actually think until she had to make this speech)? Cool. That took a lot of work. Love living in a meritocracy. Oh wait- the great accomplishment isn't anything she actually did, it's the mere fact that she's black and did some things. Wow. Call me underwhelmed, or call her speech self-congratulatory, i don't know. Also, her "accomplishments" are in direct contradiction to her and Obama's supposed stands on issues like health care. Whatever, that doesn't matter to you because with Obama supporters it's really not about the issues, it's about being a cool liberal with a superiority complex based on nothing.
