More specifically, an affirmative-action president.

Hussein resigned as US Senator

Wouldn’t it be an 7.0 earthquake if the Supreme Court ruled him ineligible to be president (not natural born) and he joins the ranks of the jobless

**** I can dream can’t I?

So Obama knows he doens’t qualify on the basis of his merits. First in college, then for Harvard Law Review. Now he’s the first affirmative action president. He has No experience.

Affirmative action is racist. It should end.

If you read the whole article, at the beginning they say that they never reveal if somebody was selected through grades, or writing competition, or affirmative action.

But then Obama shows no doubt that he was selected because of affirmative action! That means that his grades were bad and his writing too.

And he crearly says that he got admitted to college and probably Harvard too thanks to affirmative action.
I wonder why he never mentionned that during the campaign.

As always, no word of this will be in the media.

This affirms the obvious.

B.Hussein Obama cannot tell the truth.

The guy is a compulsive liar.

"More specifically, an affirmative-action president."

Exactly. He was "elected" as a token affirmative action president.

The editors, the subject of Osama's letter, are "selected" by a review of their writing submissions by a group of peer editors. Hussein was not an editor. He did not participate in the selection process. He only describes how others do the selecting

His writing wasn't submitted for review.

In his letter, Hussein talks about recruiting law students to participate in the editorial process. Why didn't he participate himself?

Think of Obama as Wile E. Coyote: He’s finally caught the roadrunner, and has no idea what to do with it.

Having read the Affirmative Action President’s list of actual accomplishments, I had no doubt that he had benefitted from Affirmative Action. Where’s the story here?

He probably does has attention deficit too, years of being medicated(Ritalin?) is too embarrassing for a 47 year old, seemingly healthy man, to release his medical records

Barack Obama says he benefited from affirmative action

Since by definition "affirmative action" gives someone something that they should not have received by taking from someone who should have received it solely on the basis of race, I'd like to see the inverse of this article where someone who was screwed by the obomination's preferential treatment discussing the evils of the system. (McCain?) I guess it isn't the "content of their character" that we're working on these days but the "color of their skin"

OK, where did you find a list of his actual accomplishments? I've been looking and have yet to find such. I suspected that there isn't any such list.

He is a successful Democratic politician from Chicago. By definition if you have what it takes to float to the top of the cesspool of corruption that is Chicago politics you probably regard things like moral principles, truth and justice simply as inconvient outmoded notions that you have to occasionally give lip service to.

Why oh why do they destroy the evidence used in selection??
‘The (Harvard Law Review) Selection Committee first identifies the group of candidates whose excellent performance, either in the classroom or on the writing competition, sets them apart. (Approximately half of this first batch is chosen solely on their performance on the writing competition; the other half are selected on a weighted formula of 70 percent grades and 30 percent writing competition)’
