Thanks for the info.

Will George W. work for
a color-blind America?
Michelle Malkin

I WANT A PRESIDENT who opposes racial discrimination by the government with every fiber of his being.

Yes, it's personal. My future children will be full-blooded Americans of half-Filipino, half-Russian Jewish descent. I want them to grow up, go to school, get jobs, and raise their own children in a country where they will not be penalized for their race or forced to identify their ethnicity in order to achieve their dreams.

Some prominent conservatives – including Prop. 209 heroes Ward Connerly and Tom Wood of California – have endorsed Bush despite his reticence on racial preferences. Others, including Fred Barnes and Paul Gigot, focus on the anemic hope that Bush will appoint rigorous, conservative intellectuals to do the heavy lifting on the U.S. Supreme Court. California State University professor Glynn Custred, another Prop. 209 hero who casts a more skeptical eye toward Bush noted recently, "These tidbits, of course, tantalize conservatives, but they don't really tell us anything, and that's exactly the way George W. intends to keep it."

Unless, of course, grass-roots conservatives demand he unbutton his lips and use them to produce something more than poll-tested pablum.

I hope he comes out and announces that the Justice Department is going to join the white students suing the University of Michigan for *racism* in its affirmative action policy.

According to MSNBC, the president will say admission policy is "unconstitutional".

[Howlin]

Well, the only people that will surprise are the know-nothings here on FR.

[Recovering_Democrat]

BUSH: MICHIGAN'S QUOTAS ARE WRONG!!!
THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT FOR FIGHTING FOR ACHIEVEMENT, AND NOT RACISM!!

[Keith]

You go George...

[Karsus]

I just wish he would have said something much sooner.

[sam_paine]

W's is OK.

[vikingchick]

God bless you, Dubya.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Will Daschle think this is outrageous or disappointing?

[rintense]

Gonna file a paper that the U of M ruling is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!

[ohioWfan]

We must not use means that create another wrong......

[Howlin]

Actually, they are unconstitutional, which is what he has said all along; and which is exactly what this SC has said in all its rulings.

[PISANO]

He will do the right thing and side against Michigan's diversity practice!!

[rintense]

Well if he said it during the Lott crap, imagine what would have happened.

[Howlin]

I'm sure it will be "outrageous" today.
