Can't Be an Affirmative Action President - Reality Won't Permit It

Here is a letter I sent to the Wall Street Journal today.

Dear Editor:

Barack Obama is going to have to decide what it's going to be. Is he going to be the President of the United States, someone that we are called to elect primarily on merit or is he going to maintain the racial justifications for affirmative action? Is he going to actually be the man of change and hope, or is he going to say change and hope, but change nothing thereby yielding no hope?

When Michelle, who I've read makes a great salary and has the best of education, says that we can't get a break around here, do we believe our eyes or her words? Can one make malarky eloquent?

And now we see that Affirmative Action is going the way of the Model T. Thank God. SCB
