[Constitutions Grandchild]

There are too many illogical statements in the brief paragraph to properly dissect. First, I know of no 70 or 80 year-olds who have children who are too young to be racially conscious. Second, the fact that with age comes wisdom, if the senior citizen is half trying, would preclude just thinking like the “kids” do. Were that the case, we'd all just have ice cream and soda for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Third, most of us over the age of 55 have seen up close and personal the results of affirmative action (”AA”).

While I believe AA has been the most effective of all programs for disadvantaged blacks, I have seen the results of 30 years of hiring “management material” who feel they are being discriminated against when asked to perform at the level the rest of the staff is expected to perform. I find that the only thing puts the finishing touches on the fine educations acquired (in Medicine, Law and Business) is the experience obtained through fellowships, internships and then a few years of kick-a$$ performance with no racial discrimination gauntlet being thrown down.

Senator Obama has received an exquisite education, but he has not yet put in his time in the trenches. In five to ten years of service in the Senate with some weighty assignments, I'd say the guy has game. Right now, he's still working on his lay-up and running the greatest power in the world is not a slam-dunk.

I have seen no reason to date to believe that Obama has received anything approaching an education.
