First Lady of Grammar

First Lady Michelle Obama graduated from top schools, Princeton University and Harvard Law School. We assume one or both offers English classes or grades students in part on writing well. Sometimes that's a sign one speaks well, too.

Michelle Obama's college transcripts weren't available to check for courses taken or grades received, but a television interview with NBC's Brian Williams brought two moments worthy of an Ivy League gasp.

Asked who in her life made her believe she could achieve, Obama said her older brother, Craig Robinson. She told Williams, "he's two years older than me."

Ouch.

Before we can recover from that, Obama, while describing her brother's accomplishments, explained that those made her believe she also could achieve because (wait for it...) "I'm smarter than him."

Is that open to a vote?
