Both started out dirt poor, so their daughter shouldn't go to an Ivy League school because they scratched and work their way up the ladder, a.k.a. the American dream… Got it!

...even with all their complaining, Sanders' plan (which isn't as good as Clinton's anyway) wouldn't help anyone go to Harvard University.

I suppose they think that Harvard should just shut down altogether?

At least they are not saying she got in due to affirmative-action! Or is that next?

They forget that people did not vote in the off elections!

We have a president not a king! He needs 2/3 of the votes in Congress.

There's also the 50 plus States and they have a say in what goes on too.

Not surprised at all that Bernie supporters would use racial code language to attack someone who is a minority. The Bernie Group is basically a mouthpiece for Donald Trump right now.

Congratulations, Malia. May you learn much, meet many, and your path be smoothed.

They don't like us Massites all that much.

I am excited, Obama will be in Mass a lot now. Yeah!

Congrats to Malia!

case of the green-eyed monster. Malia is graduating from the very elite private Sidwell Friends. Their graduates tend to go on to ivy league colleges.

My theory is before President Obama most working class whites didn't know there was a black wealth class and yes their kids go to elite private schools on to ivy league colleges and universities.

on the achievement of being accepted to Harvard in the FIRST damn place. Not having people try and spit on her achievement, and the hard work and study that brought her to it.
