Another good looking kid going to Harvard! Yessss!

Some folks walk the talk.

Some talk and talk.

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).

Ack--corrected. Pre-coffee.

Wonderful! Congrats to her!

You're a bore. Some people just like to start sh*t and keep it going.

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.

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

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

sidwell friends was described as prestigious.
