Changes

I am no fan of Obama.  I do plan on respectfully opposing him via various channels on the internet.  However, I believe I should state my opposition to this sentence of the article: "He has no clear personal achievement that cannot be explained as the likely result of affirmative action."

I have not read the rest of the article because I believed months ago and for good reasons that Obama was going to win this election. For example, the unpopular war and  poor economy that was partly caused by a guns and lots of butter spending strategy (Bush should have learned from LBJ committing us to a war and the Great Society programs at the same time).  I also thought that it would have been easy for the Republicans to win 12 years in a row given the low quality of the Democratic party. I think the Republicans snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory.  I also think Americans have too much debt (last time I heard the average American had lots of credit card debt). One of the reasons for the great depression is that American's had too much debt at the time. I think Bush's call to do more shopping mall spending was a joke.  If anything, Americans need to increase their skills to be more productive (The libraries are open but you might have to watch less TV.  Last time I checked the average American watches 3 hours of television a day) and work harder to pay off their debt.  American's are going to get out of the hole by increasing their productivity.    It seems as if Bush did not want to learn from economic history and was only looking out for short term fixes.  Well sooner or later, common sense says you have to pay the piper.

Getting back to Obama, obviously, Obama's marital success in terms of not getting divorced compared to Ronald Reagan is not the result of affirmative action.  I am sure I could come up with others.  I have not read the article for the most part because this sentence turned me off to the whole article.  Judging from the ""He has no clear personal achievement that cannot be explained as the likely result of affirmative action." sentence, I  believe a lot of time is probably being spent to defend an article rather than improve it where obvious improvements could be made.
