http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/08/obama_the_affirmative_action_president.htmlThis article just nails it! American Thinker has been having some exceptionally well written articles the past few weeks.
And some of us thought that Edwards was an empty suit. Pretty hair fetish paved the way for an even emptier AA suit, if that is possible.
While I agree that Obama seems to be pretty much an empty suit, I would not go so far as to call him the Affirmative Action president. Love him or Hate him you have to admit that he delivers a heck of a speech and is very charismatic when the speeches are written for him. Where he trips up is when he makes unscripted comments. Thinking about it, I don't even think he is an empty suit. He has been very liberal his entire life and nothing he has done or advocated in office is inconsistent with his past record. He just fits right into that liberal section of American politics that holds America in despite while they reap the benefits it produces. Let us not forget that Friedrich Engels was a German industrialist and e supported Marx in his efforts to forge the theory we call communism. Marx himself hardly did a honest day's work in his life, why should we expect modern day neo-Marxists to do any different?

Doesn't that alone tell you he is unqualified and not as intelligent as the media seems to think he is. Really, when others go off script they don't even come close to the "um" "ah" cluelessness of Obama. And those who don't use big, intellectual words (like Palin) are still capable of getting the message across. Obama can't do that unless the teleprompter is telling him what to say.

Well that can say a few things about him. This just tells me he is incapable of deep thought on any subject and incapable of thinking objectively through things. It seems more like "I'm taking a liberal stance, just because" To me, that's intellectual laziness of just plain stuborness (a common trait with the Left). It's also kind of like those who only vote on party lines regardless of qualifications or beliefs. The only time I've done a Republican straight ticket was in 2010. (well, that, plus the Proggy Democrats in RI don't leave me with much choice)Obama is simply unqualified, and the standards for being a president were lowered simply because of the color of his skin. That's not racist, it's just a fact. Gosh, even Hillary was and is more qualified than him.I think this part of the article was spot on:
Liberals routinely admit minorities to schools for which they are not qualified, yet take no responsibility for the inevitable poor performance and high drop-out rates which follow...Holding someone to a separate standard merely because of the color of his skin -- that's affirmative action in a nutshell, and if that isn't racism, then nothing is. And that is what America did to Obama.
