It seems as if people are afraid to say this, without being called a racist in this campaign season, but Barack Obama is an affirmative action president! How many millions were motivated in the novelty of voting for the first African- American into the Oval Office, despite neither being the most experienced or most qualified to be commander in chief?
He got the job because of his empty rhetoric and because he was black. Honestly, did millions vote for Obama because he is half white? If not, then their votes were prejudicial and racially motivated.
Had Gen. Colin Powell been the hypothetical Republican candidate, Obama would never be considered for the job because the race card would never have been played.
