[quote=condogrrl]Obama will be our first affirmative action president. The less qualified candidate is promoted to president because of his color. No wonder people don’t want to entrust the country to him. Would you want an affirmative action doctor to operate on you? Would you even want an affirmative action mechanic to work on your car? No, I want a truly qualified person. Obama’s credentials are weaker than mine. And I’m not so arrogant to think that I could run this country successfully.[/quote]

wtf? How do you face yourself in the mirror in the morning? I would want a doctor to operate on me who went to the best medical school in the country, who graduated with the best grades and who trained with the best surgeons at the best hospitals specializing in the procedure. And if he/she got through all that and had a dark color skin and proved to everyone that they were BETTER than the others, I’d go under the knife with no reservations.

Where do people get this “affirmative action” bullshit with Obama? The man has excelled at everything he attempted with NO SUPPORT from a 5th generation senator family fortune behind him (a la the Kennedy types). Affirmative action means that you maybe wouldn’t have made it by a point or two, but someone gave you the benefit of the doubt and opened the door. This does not apply to Obama–he won every contest ON MERIT. There was no “aw, let’s give the sub-standard black guy a chance.” He had the grades and the intellect –but not the finances–to make it on par with or above his well-heeled fellows. Who are these racists who keep pushing him into the dumb football player category? Pisses me off….
