Thank you Ohio. I thought that comment was like that of a typical smug liberal - Dubya can't make a decision by himself.
Ah, so in your opinion, the anti-AA forces in the GOP should have kept their mouths shut in recent weeks over this particular issue...trusting implicitly that the President would make the right choice.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but without the political counterweight to the race pimps represented by the anti-AA forces in the GOP, Jesse Jackson would win every battle. That is political reality.
Besides, those who oppose the institutionalized racism of Affirmative Action have a duty to speak out against it at every opportunity anyhow, regardless of any battle that is currently underway.
I came on this thread and complimented the President for his principled stand; for going forward in concert with the best thinkers in the Republican Party; and I get attacked. Amazing.
Perhaps it is you who is acting like a liberal, whoever you are.
