Should anyone who checked the boxes to get through his education using Affirmative Action. Even be considered qualified for any public office? Especially the Presidency?

I say, no.

They are not in the least bit qualified for the job and should not even be considered.

  He, Obama, was elected because he was black. Lets not lie. He has no accomplishments or resume.

We ain't racists and we'll prove it.". Also, DUH!
  
  Just to get your vote. The man is anti-American and as racist as any racist I have ever heard of, or saw.
  
  None of this has to do with color. it has to do with qualifications, and or the lack there-of.

I wouldn't DISqualify them simply for using Affirmative Action. Sure, AA in general waters down the competency of the workplace because people are not given their position on their merits, but on their skin color. However, that doesn't mean that EVERYONE who has received preferential treatment from AA is undeserving. Perhaps someone benefited from AA AND they're the best at what they do. We'd only be doing ourselves a disservice by failing to consider them (on merit alone) for positions of public office.

  Generalizations usually show a terrible lack of willingness to investigate facts further. I believe there are a lot of generalizations. It's not all one way or the other. It's a mix of good and bad. Based on facts, you should be able to determine whether or not AA is actually beneficial or not. I suggest a better investigation, not a broad, generalization.

Nothing is funnier than a bunch of people who think insulting people, in defense of an indefensible and racist policy, wins the debate.

It actually just shows the real ignorance.

  This is the route I'm going next topic like this. Dems vs Reps or Believers vs Atheists, etc. I'm just going to not state my position and then sort of scoff at the heat and rhetoric. It's annoying. But it is safe! And you feel better about yourself for not lowering to this level. Although, I must say I prefer someone like the Texans showing how they feel than a non-stance scoff reply like this one.

  Heh. I agree with Cole. This has become a site lately where people just seem to throw up digitally all over the page. It's all "who ya fer?" without having any actual position or intelligible rhetoric behind it. I definitely DO NOT admire it. Not to mention--it's boring.

  Obama is white. You people don't know what you're on about. He is half black half white -- you all seem to be choosing the black half to emphasize - I choose the white half; prove me wrong

  Sure. It was the black half that got elected.

  Perhaps there might be something to that -- well half...
  
  But really, I mean, it suggests that being white is "the norm" or "normal" whereas being black is the "interesting feature" -- I mean, I know what the answer is, but I still think it was worth saying...

  Ironically, Tex...it may surprise you, but that was not posted with you in mind. I am aware of certain limitations of scope for certain individuals.
  
  But I'm sure for you retired folks, this kind of nonsense posting, mimicking 'writing' or whatever you think it is--is fun. Probably way different from what you did for a living or something. To me, it is just a waste of cyberspace.. Plus, my post was also a backing of Cole.
  
  You needn't reply to me--I'm not interested. Find someone more interested in your clever repartee...or whatever it is.

ok, lets put this into contxt,6 emillion africans died en route to the americas from africa, all of these people were transported to plantations by christians who justified their slave trafficking by quoting verses from the old testament. America was built on the blood sweat and tears of african slaves and that debt should be balanced over time by a conscious effort to restore balance in the society that originally created the problem.

read some history, and get real.

If you want to spout ignorant bulls**t feel free, but the stench of your nonsense has travelled over the atlantic.

  You can try to justify it within whatever context you want.
  
  It does not fly with me, nor most Americans. I am not going to pay for the sins of others. No repearations from me, not going to happen.
  
  All have equality, that is the greatest gift there is. Don't try that liberal white guilt BS with me.
  
  Man get real.

  actually it was just The South that was built with the help of slave labor, but anyway, affirmative action was created to balance inequities created over the years when qualified black people were passed by and jobs were given to white people. it's not reparations for slavery. it was to correct past injustices.
  
  the President is intelligent and i am sure he worked just as hard for his degree as you or i. all the affirmative action in the world isn't going to amount to a hill of beans without hard work and dedication. p.s. i am not a liberal and i abhor political correctness, just so you know.
