An Affirmative Action President is someone selected for that office based partly or entirely on the person's race or gender. Every U.S. President has been a white male. As of 2008, affirmative action has not yet been successfully used to fill the position of President of the United States. However, in the past blacks and women couldn't vote or run for President, and white males did benefit from their race and gender. But that's ok cause the are whitw. a black who got to be presidentg mightv start messing with the white women or something. Oh laudy, laudy, we must potect the white women from gettin the jungle fever, and running of with the Obama character!
An Affirmative Action President is strongly supported by some liberals who favor affirmative action. As they support affirmative action for other positions, it is a logical extension for them to favor it for the presidency also.
These supporters of an Affirmative Action President are likely to support a candidate based in part on the candidate's race or gender in order to bring historical diversity to the position and promote broader acceptance of affirmative action.
Under affirmative action, a candidate's race or gender is as important as, and perhaps more important, than traditional criteria of qualifications and experience.
On Feb. 4, 2008, ten days after this entry appeared here, Michael Savage (WHO IS GAY!) commented that, if elected, Barack Obama will be the first Affirmative Action President, as he has such a small amount of political (or military) experience.[1]
