There are tons of extremely qualified bright blacks (and other minorities) who don't need affirmative action for anything, and who would be absolutely outstanding in the Presidency. Unfortunately, due to political expediency and a MSM that didn't do its job vetting, the first minority President winds up being a leftist ideologue. Its not fair to the country, and its not fair to African Americans and every other group of minorities who Obama is throwing under the bus for his own political agenda. As the first black President he has, I believe, a duty to be a solid steward of the Presidency and to contribute positively to the end of race as an issue in this country. I fear that the opposite will be true, and that the radical manner in which he has handled the Presidency so far will push race relations back many years. It's very sad.
