Obama is in full campaign mode. He thinks the deficit can be eliminated through cuts in spending in the tax code. In other words, cut loopholes that will in turn raise taxes. A cut in spending is a raise revenues(taxes). Last word in hise speech - Obama Deficit Reduction Speech: "No One Wants To Pay More In Taxes. So which is it?
AA is a system created to provide equal opportunities for those regardless of their race. Its a step to even out the huge head start those of Caucasian decent have in this country which began back in the times of slavery and still continues to this day. If you use a little common sense its easy to see that those from a wealthy background would have an easier time focusing on their academic work since they dont worry about the basic needs like a place to stay, bills to pay, job while in school.

Just balance the budget! Obama, Geitner and Harry Reid need to be drug into the streets and beaten by the ghetto dwellers. They are hurting the poorest more than anyone and the votes come from the poorest! Stupid nation.

i THINK I DID MORE THAN JUST STUDY A LITTLE BIT ASS HOLE...i STUDIED FOR FOUR YEARS TO EARN A BA DEGREE, AND I SERVED IN THE NAVY AS WELL, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR YOUR COUNTRY? DUDE, I NEVER ASSUMED ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR STUPID RACE,ONLY THAT YOU ARE WRONG...AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IS WRONG, IT IS NOTHING BUT REVERSE DISCRIMINATION. IS IT JUST A LITTLE TO ASK FOR TRUE EQUAL OPPROTUNITY FOR EVERYONE IN AMERICA INSTEAD OF PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT TOWARDS ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR RACE???

I will say it again, this is why I do not like to talk about AA because its gets dumb people all rowdy, and sensitive. Then they start making more emotionally driven comments! And you probably assume I am black from reading part of the beginning of your comment., wrong! Your just the typical dumb ,arrogant ,ignorant, white american who thinks you deserves everything because you studied a little bit, so did millions of others. This is end for me!!!! GOOD BYE!!!!

Dude, no family in these modern times has EVER had an advantage because of slavery. THey are not my ancestors, shithead. Blame your ancestors for enslaving your own people into slavery! You know the difference between my family and yours? My father was willing to work hard to support his family and attend night classes for six years to get his degree so he could get a better job and thus afford a house to live in, food to eat, and raise a family. I certainly did not have an advantge in school...

I can't believe the shit that comes out if his mouth! He is such a manipulator and liar! Pray to god he does not get a second term. He has doubled our debt/deficit. More than any other president. He dug a hole almost to china that we will never get out of. I hope people will see past his banter and realize he is NOT a president. He's just another greedy lawyer in it for himself. An eleventeen year old could do a better job.

Another point you are not going to agree with is that whites have had a huge head start in this country because of racial discri., and slavery. A point you feel you should not be responsible for bec. you did not live in those times, and may not think the same way as they did back in that era. Well, i agree with that! Blame your ances. for being such assholes, don't blame minorities, or the govern. for trying to do right thing and reverse this vicious cycle, which is what AA is trying to control!

If you did more research you would know this by now! You may not like it, but it the only way minorities get ahead in this great country! Otherwise, it would be an all white controlled society like back in the '50s. I do agree with you that employers should seek the best qualified person, but we all know this would not happen!!!

I will say it again, if you remove the race, gender, law from the job application which is affirmative action, it will create a job market where a business, or government can hire whomever they feel like! In turn, it will create a worse system because lets say a company ceo is white, and he feels like hiring all white males to work for him, he can! This is how we would be going backwards as a country, and its scientifically proven this would happen because we are prejudice by nature! Get it!

Noi, you are the ignorant close minded person. Whites DO not own the majority weath inthe ccountry if they did, this qualified, educated white male wouldn't be complaining about being the victim of reverse discrimination at every turn. Employers should seek out the BEST qualified PERSON, not based on their race or gender. take if you don't believe in MLK's dream of equality than if you think AA should not be repealed. Even MLK didn't believe minorities should get preference. REPEAL AA NOW!
