Does anyone know anything about a thesis written by Michelle Obama during her time at Princeton where she made insulting comments about america? About how she hated it?

I'm asking because I was told recently that she stated she was finally proud to be an american.. (Now that her husband is running for president?)

Another thing about this thesis.. Is that they are refusing to release it until Nov. 5? Apparently 1 day after the general elections.

It is released. I had the pdf opened (read like a page before having to leave) but I don't remember where I got it.

I read through the subjective parts of the thesis (intro, hypothesis, and conclusion) and really didnt see anything controversial or damaging.

Regarding the thesis, I'm curious as to why there was only a 22% reponse rate to her questionaire (90 out of 400), standard deviations aside (wrong address, lost in the mail, trashed upon receipt, respondant unavailable, etc.).

Honestly, BFD.

If unpatriotic is being a liberal in a college town, then whoopty-naievity fuck.

Gan, I was under the impression that 22% for unsolicited surveys (even though it has a connection, IE, she sent it to black Princeton alumni) was pretty good. We're doing surveys now on how the average juror understands jury instructions, and our return rate is barely 40%, and we're doing them in person.

Survey response rates above 7 or 8% are usually considered great, at least for email / mail. I know that I myself just toss shit like that in the trash.
