Just to answer your questions.... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 18/09/2012 05:54:33 PM
That he got into Columbia and Harvard due to Affirmative Action (I do not believe this but I am pretending I do for the purpose of this premise.)

Would Affirmative Action also be the reason Obama graduated from Harvard Law Magma Cum Laude? Would Affirmative Action also cause him to be voted as president of the Harvard Law Review? Would Affirmative Action cause the University of Chicago (a "conservative school" to hire him as a professor to teach constitutional law?

If so affirmative action that is some powerful stuff.


Affirmative Action would not be responsible for President Obama graduating Magma. His own hard work and study would be responsible for that.

As for being voted as president of H.L Review or hired onto University of Chicago staff...we don't know. It would be foolish to presume that Affirmative Action did or did not have something to do with those accomplishments when we have no data either way.

WE ARE THE 47 PERCENT! moondog - 18/09/2012 03:07:09 PM 507 Views
It's valid to argue about the number (and everyone is), but Romney's basic point is valid. Tom - 18/09/2012 10:59:48 PM 507 Views
I guess his is perhaps a true "politically incorrect" comment (much as I hate that phrase)? Larry - 19/09/2012 12:05:48 AM 481 Views
I really don't think he was talking about a situation like that. Tom - 19/09/2012 02:39:15 AM 513 Views
I don't know that it really hurts him that bad. everynametaken - 19/09/2012 12:55:36 AM 533 Views
