   Maggie, your stuff is very entertaining. Probably not for the reasons you intended but entertaining nonetheless. When it comes to race baiting you sure know your stuff! It’s kind of a theme for you huh….you’re the pot pointing at the kettle and saying “Looks black to me!”

   The Washington Post, perhaps the most Liberal newspaper in the
   country, printed this article. It should be read by everyone prior to
   the next election. Please forward it to all of your Democrat and
   Republican friends. This is not an attempt to sway who you may vote
   for, but, it will add another dimension to being informed prior to
   casting any vote.

   Obama: The Affirmative Action President
   by Matt Patterson
   (columnist – Washington Post, New York Post, San Francisco Examiner)

   Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as
   an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, a baffling breed of mass hysteria
   akin perhaps to the witch craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will wonder,
   did a man so devoid of professional accomplishment beguile so many into
   thinking he could manage the world’s largest economy, direct the world’s
   most powerful military, execute the world’s most consequential job?

   Imagine a future historian examining Obama’s pre-presidential life: ushered
   into and through the Ivy League despite unremarkable grades and test scores
   along the way; a cushy non-job as a “community organizer”; a brief career
   as a state legislator devoid of legislative achievement (and in fact nearly
   devoid of his attention, so often did he vote “present”) ; and finally an
   unaccomplished single term in the United States Senate, the entirety of
   which was devoted to his presidential ambitions. He left no academic legacy
   in academia, authored no signature legislation as a legislator.

   And then there is the matter of his troubling associations: the
   white-hating, America-loathing preacher who for decades served as Obama’s
   “spiritual mentor”; a real-life, actual terrorist who served as Obama’s
   colleague and political sponsor. It is easy to imagine a future historian
   looking at it all and asking: how on Earth was such a man elected
   president?

   Not content to wait for history, the incomparable Norman Podhoretz
   addressed the question recently in the Wall Street Journal:

   To be sure, no white candidate who had close associations with an outspoken
   hater of America like Jeremiah Wright and an unrepentant terrorist like
   Bill Ayers, would have lasted a single day. But because Mr. Obama was
   black, and therefore entitled in the eyes of liberaldom to have hung out
   with protesters against various American injustices, even if they were a
   bit extreme, he was given a pass.

   Let that sink in: Obama was given a pass — held to a lower standard –
   because of the color of his skin. Podhoretz continues:

   And in any case, what did such ancient history matter when he was also so
   articulate and elegant and (as he himself had said) “non-threatening,” all
   of which gave him a fighting chance to become the first black president and
   thereby to lay the curse of racism to rest?

   Podhoretz puts his finger, I think, on the animating pulse of the Obama
   phenomenon — affirmative action. Not in the legal sense, of course. But
   certainly in the motivating sentiment behind all affirmative action laws
   and regulations, which are designed primarily to make white people, and
   especially white liberals, feel good about themselves.

   Unfortunately, minorities often suffer so that whites can pat themselves on
   the back. 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. Liberals don’t care if
   these minority students fail; liberals aren’t around to witness the
   emotional devastation and deflated self esteem resulting from the racist
   policy that is affirmative action. Yes, racist.

   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.

   True, Obama himself was never troubled by his lack of achievements, but why
   would he be? As many have noted, Obama was told he was good enough for
   Columbia despite undistinguished grades at Occidental; he was told he was
   good enough for the US Senate despite a mediocre record in Illinois ; he was
   told he was good enough to be president despite no record at all in the
   Senate. All his life, every step of the way, Obama was told he was good
   enough for the next step, in spite of ample evidence to the contrary. What
   could this breed if not the sort of empty narcissism on display every time
   Obama speaks?

   In 2008, many who agreed that he lacked executive qualifications
   nonetheless raved about Obama’s oratory skills, intellect, and cool
   character. Those people — conservatives included — ought now to be deeply
   embarrassed. The man thinks and speaks in the hoariest of clichés, and
   that’s when he has his teleprompter in front of him; when the prompter is
   absent he can barely think or speak at all.***Not one original idea has
   ever issued from his mouth — it’s all warmed-over Marxism of the kind that
   has failed over and over again for 100 years.*

   And what about his character? Obama is constantly blaming anything and
   everything else for his troubles. Bush did it; it was bad luck; I inherited
   this mess. It is embarrassing to see a president so willing to advertise
   his own powerlessness, so comfortable with his own incompetence. But
   really, what were we to expect? The man has never been responsible for
   anything, so how do we expect him to act responsibly?

   In short: our president is a small and small-minded man, with neither the
   temperament nor the intellect to handle his job. *When you understand that,
   and only when you understand that, will the current erosion of liberty and
   prosperity make sense. It could not have gone otherwise with such a man in
   the Oval Office.*
