   Obama has an exceptional campaign organization and he’s got the MSM in his back pocket. However, before November, I think the public will realize the emperor has no clothes. All the fluff is just lipstick on a pig.

   The resolution of the case means that Captain Yee will not have to face an Army court-martial. At the same time, the military did not affirmatively clear him of the charge of mishandling classified data, but said it chose not to prosecute only to protect sensitive documents.

   Well, if you included that, I would have not said what I said or what I meant for to be said – a little Rumsfeld-esque.

   ‘Just mean’: “People are still concerned with figuring out exactly what happened. I’m just thrilled that he is back on the mend and I suspect will be on the floor of the Senate immediately.” —Barack Obama on Ted Kennedy, in the hospital after possibly suffering a seizure over the weekend **“Kennedy isn’t our favorite person either, but to talk about someone ending up ‘on the floor’ when he has just had a seizure is just mean.” —James Taranto

   No, not mean, just plain stupid. The man just cannot give a speech or comment. His speechwriters and “spin doctor” have to be working overtime to help him. What do you expect from someone obsessed with possible power who has no experience.

   Exactly!

   How very “typical” of many conservatives. When a black(half-black) democrat reaches high levels of professional achievment, it has something to do with affirmative action. Any evidence of this anywhere?

   This has nothing to do with “affirmative action” in the derogatory sense that he’s been given preference over a more qualified white candidate. Wait, that didn’t sound right…

   From the MSM’s point of view, he’s liberal, so of course he’s smart. All the smart people are liberal.

   This is the reason why his gaffes are written off as a “good man’s fault”, whereas if any of these gaffes were committed by Bush, they would be reported as conclusive evidence of his abject stupidity.

   Uh, didn’t you read the post?

   Secondly, that’s what affirmative action does, sweetie. It creates doubt about a person’s competency since they were hired because of race, rather than merit. That’s a natural consequence of handicapping.

    Typical.

    If you equate electoral success in gerrymandered districts with professional achievement, then no one can argue with you. To paraphrase liberal Geraldine Ferraro, if it weren’t for Obama’s race(s), he wouldn’t be in contention for the Democratic nomination.

    BSR, I was referring to the affirmative action that got BHO into Harvard Law. I wasn’t implying that BHO used affirmative action to win caucuses.

    It is worth noting that the Democrat Party uses racial and gender quotas in shaping the makeup of all convention delegates. Haven’t heard BHO reject that policy.

    I’m not the Left, I’m my own person, and no I’ve never insulted Condoleeza Rice with any snarky, racial assumptions or slurs.

    To paraphrase liberal Geraldine Ferraro, if it weren’t for Obama’s race(s), he wouldn’t be in contention for the Democratic nomination.

    His race helped in states like MS,GA, LA, the Carolinas, and MD. Yeah, that’s identity based voting. Romney’s Mormonism helped him in the West. Hillary’s gender and age, help her with those demographics. Geraldine Ferraro has sour grapes, and is proving you conservatives correct about so-called white liberals not always being color-blind, and friends of Blacks. Now Barack is a sexist according to her. Okay, some evidence of that would be nice too.
    You made the typical lazy-minded conservative blast that the achieving black man has benefitted from affirmative action. Was this before, or after he was president of Harvard Law Review. Where is the proof of affirmative action. You made the allegation which Cheryl piggybacked. Show me the proof. If you think he’s an idiot, fine enough. You’ve accused white liberals of being stupid, without tying in some affirmative action crap.

    This man has come out of the pack, with a bizarre, Muslim sounding name, quasi-radical church, admitted drug history, and minimal experience. You think Democratic leaders handpicked this guy to take back the WhiteHouse. Hell no, Hillary was the chosen won, but the voters threw a wrench in the plans….starting with Iowa.. The voters chose him. Affirmative action my ass. You people are so freakin predictable, and go back to the same ole’ tired-ass playbook.

    Typical.

    No, what is typical is a black(half-black) democrat using affirmative action to achieve anything at all (and is obvious in this case) and as noted in another post, when a black woman does reach high levels of professional achievement without the help of affirmative action, she is called a white house slave by liberal African Americans.

    He came out of the “pack” before we knew of his radical church (quasi??? why just “quasi”???).

    And yes, perhaps the Democrat Party didn’t hand pick him but the media did. They’ve been fawning all over him like he’s the black Messiah since day one.

    The very fact that he is unqualified, has poor judgment, associates with extremists, and never held an executive position since graduating from his poison ivy league school, indicates that he has come this far based on HIS RACE. It’s purely because he is a black man (though some may quibble about that but he considers himself so). Do you actually think that a white man with his crappy credentials would have made it this far?

    Believe me, with a combination of voter affirmative action and the media, he made it SOLELY on the color of his skin!

    This is how affirmative action rolled at law schools:

    Hopwood v. University of Texas Law School

    Cheryl Hopwood and three other white law-school applicants at the University of Texas challenged the school’s affirmative action program, asserting that they were rejected because of unfair preferences toward less qualified minority applicants. As a result, the 5th U.S. Court of Appeals suspended the university’s affirmative action admissions program and ruled that the 1978 Bakke decision was invalid—while Bakke rejected racial quotas it maintained that race could serve as a factor in admissions. In addition to remedying past discrimination, Bakke maintained that the inclusion of minority students would create a diverse student body, and that was beneficial to the educational environment as a whole. Hopwood, however, rejected the legitimacy of diversity as a goal, asserting that “educational diversity is not recognized as a compelling state interest.” The Supreme Court allowed the ruling to stand. In 1997, the Texas Attorney General announced that all “Texas public universities [should] employ race-neutral criteria.”

    It’s real. It happened. When we can compare BHO’s LSAT scores with the top scores of rejected applicants, we’ll see what role affirmative action played in his admission.

    You want to persuade him to release those scores?

    Yeah, it did happened. That doesn’t mean Barack or every minority that graduated from Harvard Law School benefitted from it.(I’m not saying you said that).

    Barack should release his scores when and if it’s relevant. He doesn’t have to prove jack on this matter, because nobody has proven that he was a beneficiary of affirmative action in school or employment. He should release his scores as soon as Hillary releases her’s, and McCain releases his comparable transcripts. The Black guy doesn’t have to go out of the way to prove anything. He has proven that he has run a remarkable campaign.

    I usually ignore you, because you are a childish waste of time, and have a strange fixation with my screenname. Let me be clear. By stating my views on Condoleeza and insulting her racially, I thought I implied, what I will now state clearly.(Eyes open Cheryl):

    I completely reject, condemn any attempts by left wingers to insult black conservatives based on their race. That includes baseless, and WITHOUT PROOF allegations of affirmative action, and calling them names like Aunt Jemimah, Uncle Tom, House Nigger ect.

    Hmmmm. Running a “remarkable campaign” excuses one from proving that he is qualified for a job? How unjust and undemocratic.

    First off, I would hardly call his campaign “remarkable” except for the fact that it has:

    1. Exposed a large swathe of American voters who fail to distinguish between demagoguery and rationality.

    2. Exposed the media for its alarming bias for any candidate who walks in lockstep with its leftwing ideology.

    The “remarkableness” of this campaign can hardly be attributed to Obama in terms of competence. The man has never held an executive position of any consequence during his entire career.

    Its certainly laughable to suggest that 75,000 would pay to attend one of their performances. But how many people would show up to see a free concert?

    I’m not suggesting that each and every one of those who attended Barry O’s speech were drawn to the venue by the preceding free concert, but you can hardly suggest that these Decemberists could only expect to draw, at a free concert, a number of attendees similar to what they drew at one of the gigs for which they charged a fee.

    The fact that a free concert preceded Barry O’s speech was newsworthy, especially considering the fact that the MSM attached so much significance to fact that the crowd was considerably larger than that which typically shows up for a political speech.

    The MSM is pushing a particular narrative by omitting relevent contextual information from the story.

    Having had the experience of meeting people of all races and all levels of competence, one can separate the wheat from the chaff. Obama is chaff.

    But don’t take my word for it. The Nation reported:

    Obama, only 24, struck board members as “awesome” and “extremely impressive,” and they quickly hired him, at $13,000 a year, plus $2,000 for a car–a beat-up blue Honda Civic, which Obama drove for the next three years organizing more than twenty congregations to change their neighborhoods.

    $13K per year isn’t exactly genius pay–even back in 1985. The board hired an “impressive” silver-tongued airhead.

    Tell me about the affirmative action that got Barack Obama into Law School. Proof would be nice. Please don’t just say well, uh, he’s Black.

    Please try to remember who makes the assertions, and who is requesting the proof.

    All I’m saying is that when one makes the assertion that BHO did not benefit from affirmative action, that person bears the burden of proof.

    That’s classic strawman spin right there Double T. Whudareyoutalkinabout son? Peace out.

    At Nuremberg, Nazi rallies were held to symbolize the solidarity between the German people and the Nazi party. The primary aspect was the almost religious focus on Adolf Hitler, portraying him as Germany’s saviour chosen by God. The crowd of their own free will subordinated themselves to Hitler disipline and order so they might be reborn.

    You got that right. It’s called demagoguery.

    BTW, did you know that the Nazis were fanatical health nuts? Organic food, even vegetarianism (as Hitler was a vegetarian), no smoking, etc… was all the rage.

    Except Obama does smoke. It’s interesting that he gets a free pass on that, since most lefies consider smokers worse than child molesters.

    I wonder why it’s so difficult to find out whether or not Obama was an affirmative action recipient? Why is it that the media seems to avoid asking him that question?

    In the following article, Mr. Blum asserts that Obama has already admitted that his entrance to Harvard Law School was based on affirmative action:

    This presents Barack Obama with unique opportunity. Having campaigned against the passage of the Michigan initiative, can he chart a new path now that he is running for president? And, having admitted he attended Harvard law school because of affirmative action, can he now say the time has come to try something different?

    If Obama was not an affirmative action recipient, would he not declare himself as such – particularly in light of Geraldine Ferraro’s recent comments on his being where he is because he is black? If I had no benefits from AA, but someone accused me of such, I would be rather quick to declare the truth of the matter to repudiate the erroneous assertion.
