Will be a sociology or anthro major, and skate into a job in Hollywood/media or "advocacy".

Affirmative action and development target in one go. Excellent stuff.

You sound bitter and jealous. Stay mad while Malia begins her journey of becoming the third generation to graduate from Harvard (President Obama's father is a Harvard grad as well).

as well as a severe alcoholic, totally absent father and failed Kenyan government functionary.

If Obama were white, then we would cheer his triumph over circumstances. Alas, Obama is to blame for everything, including being a sober, present, successful president.

Sober and present, yes. I'd say semi successful. So many missed opportunities.

If Obama were white, he wouldn't be president and absolutely nobody would know who he was.

My BIL also took a gap year year before attending Harvard several years ago. I wonder how common this is (in sure it will become more so now).

What would this prove? I was the only one of my friends to go to an Ivy. We were all white girls. No one ever suggested I wasn't qualified or didn't merit it.

Malia's parents are both brilliant. It's not difficult to imagine she would have gotten in even without being the president's daughter. Tons of kids are academically qualified for Harvard (but may not get in for various reasons).

I know zero about her from personal knowledge; however, just based on how educated both of her parents are, plus the experiences she has had as a child of the president, I'd say this is a no brainer. I found it more interesting that one of the Bush twins went to U of Texas, instead of HYPS. I get the Texas connection but come on ....

I would say extremely successful in the face of unprecedented obstruction from racist Congress.

Jenna went to UT because her friends were going. I think she would have flamed out of Yale.
