The thought came to me as I was reading a book by William A. Henry III, "In Defense of Elitism". The more that I considered it, the more it seemed appropriate.

obama reminds me of tyrone willingham, football coach at U of Washington. Thrust into the national spotlight and proven to be in completely over his head.

How is such a fraking elitist managing to ride a populist vote?

Seriously, this guy scares me more than Martin Sheeen in the Dead Zone movie.

You know, the thing that has always cheesed off my Lib friends about Rush is that he is "arrogant"; that is, he has a complete feeling that he is right on most issues, and acts upon his convictions. In an enemy of the Left, this is unforgivable. How dare he assume he is right, when Right and Wrong are just concepts imposed upon us from birth, and there are a million shades of gray between them that must be nuanced over and over until we arrive at a mutually agreed upon solution that pleases everone in Europe. (And screw the Conservatives!) But you take the exact same POV from this empty suit, and suddenly, well, the guy is the next Messiah. Seems inconsistant to me.

“first Affirmative Action President”
that’s the absolute truth. And with all AA hires, they are not expected to perform as well as normal people, you can’t criticize them, you have overlook their failures, you have to cover up for them, they can cry “racism” anytime they want, and they will be promoted before you.

Will Barrack Obama be the first Affirmative Action President?

Either way, ALL AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAMS SHOULD NOW BE CANCELLED!
