There are no individuals, only groups, and anyone who dares to think of themselves as an individual must be marginalized. If you are black and a conservative, then liberals must paint you as an Uncle Tom or an "Oreo". Clarence Thomas is never celebrated as an African American success story. Why? Because he is conservative. And I think her article really shows his this "group-think" is being thrust upon women. According to liberals, all women must demand that birth control be given to them for free. After all, according to liberals, they cannot control when or how they have sex, it is way too complicated for them. They need a man like Obama to take care of them. To demean women this way, to say that they cannot take care of themselves without Daddy Barack giving them stuff, is an affront to the intelligence of all women.

Your debate on the difference between a "speech" and a "discussion" is merely rhetoric, and has nothing to do with evaluating the merits of this article. The points that the author makes are credible and informative. If you don't agree with the President and his politics, that's entirely your prerogative. But, don't take it out on an article that is neither affirming nor negating the President's viewpoints. While I am sure that there were political motivations behind President Obama speaking at Barnard, he was by no means asked, nor paid to do so. He called President Spar and asked her if he could speak at this year's graduation--what an honor for the college. You might want to get your facts straight by reading The New York Times or The Washington Post, before you go around making false proclamations. As for all of these terrible comments attacking Barnard College as an academic institution, you all might do well to read up on the College. If you did, you would find that it is one of the most prestigious and selective women's colleges in the nation, not to mention its merits as an academic institution alone. Please do not demerit this institution or my liberal arts education based on the fact that President Obama spoke at its graduation ceremony or that only women can attend. I can certainly say that my liberal arts education prepares me just as well if not better than any pre-professional education I would receive elsewhere, and attending a women's college has been an empowering experience every step of the way. I certainly hope that the 2012 graduates of Barnard College take the advice of the President, because it will come in handy when facing the battles of hate and ignorance they will in a world where people can hide behind their computers and spew off whatever they feel like saying with little to no consequence.

Well he just took that seat at the commencement away from the original speaker. The first female editor of the NYT. Don't be dupes again Bernard. You all just got punked...
