Barack Obama is now officially the affirmative action president.
This is where the perpetually outraged left begins hyperventilating, followed by uncontrollable screams of "racism." Water is wet, Hezbollah blows stuff up, and leftists throw utterly boring race-baiting temper tantrums.
Speaking of uninteresting, our leader is now an affirmative action project gone bad. This may have negative ramifications for future black Americans, which would be wrong.

Please don’t group Lt. Col. Allen West in the Affirmative Action group. He’s earned everything he has. Rep. West would be elected in a heartbeat and serve with distinction!!
Thank you for posting this article. It is very well written, and gets right to the point.
I recommend everyone take the time to read the whole thing.
What about Cain? Would he get as much traction if he was white??
Not a bad article, some of the conclusions are wrong ,but it does ,at least, call on Obama for his failures, and a failure he is.
Obama got elected ONLY because of the color of his skin and was the best teleprompter reader. Period. He was an ‘incomplete’ rookie U.S. Senator, with his only accomplishment being a “community organizer!
I don’t know what article you read, but West isn’t even mentioned in this one.
I think my favorite blog coined this term years ago.
I don't want to visit certain parts Philly. Racism is alive and well there.
Obama failed to qualify and was shooed in under many a pretext of manufactured mistakes.
In my house its a standing law that nobody is to call him the worst POTUS ever.
Obama is the worst imitation of a POTUS wannabe, he is an impostor, a fake, an usurper placed in a power of position solely for a sympathetic racial support apparatus. Him being an Islamo-fascist with an agenda negative to the Constitution is just pepper spray in a fire extinguisher against a person on fire.
Thank God some journalist gets it, albeit a little late than never.
The reason his presidency has been so poor is because he is an ardent ideologue with an agenda. Had he taken office as the ‘first multi-racial president’ with the goal of being a good caretaker of the nation, and of being inclusive, he could have done very well. He could have filled his administration with lots and lots of very capable people that are always the foundation of any successful presidency, but instead he filled his administration with radical ideologues.
By using this opportunity, as the first ‘black’ president, to push his own philosophically naive ideological agenda, he essentially spit in the face of all those minorities who put their faith in him, whether they realize it or not. Had he been a good mainstream president, who pushed unity, he would have opened doors for future minority successes in high office. Instead, he's pursued an ideologically driven vendetta, and hurt the nation, and minorities along with it.
Kinda funny that being black paralyzes the constitutional rules of governing in this country? It's like we elected Hugo Chavez as our president while everything about the operation of our government is designed to be at odds with Hugo Chavez. I guess more simply put, we elected a mangy coyote with friends in low places to preside over the chicken coup.
Remember, Citizen...
nobama hates you, hates your family, hates Free America, hates Americans, hates the Constitution and hates the Bill of Rights. nobama is a hate crime foisted upon America. nobama is the Destroyer.
Everything nobama does is intentional.
God help us all.
The author still endorses a form of affirmative action for blacks (and presumably others)and provides an utterly stupid rationale (”racism” still exists).
Fine. Let’s play that game. Yes, racism still exists, and is overwhelmingly found among official “minorities”. Consequently, the objects of their racism should receive AA.
What strikes me about zero - among so many other things - is that he doesn’t seem intellectually agile. He was indoctrinated with communism as a child but now faced with the facts of many failures of former communist countries, his own failures to successfully bend the country to his wishes, he still clings to old theories. This is not the mark of the intellectual giant the MSM promoted in 2008.
We’re going to be paying for his bad ideas for decades.
Excellent comments. Agree completely.
Very well said. Dittos.
