The Obama Effect Yet To Happen

[NATO AIR]

What if he comes out against race-based affirmative action, as he hinted on Fox News last month, when he discussed how it wouldn't make sense for his daughters to receive it when they have been grown up privileged.

Right now, blacks who oppose race-based affirmative action are black conservatives, who are treated like curiosities by the media (Thinking Mr. Steele in MD, JC Watts), how will the media and the grievance mongers (Sharpton, Jackson) respond if Obama comes out against it?

and piss off his biggest base of support...don't think he will, gotta stick to whitey a bit longer, even if we have a black president, er, white, er....

I would not be at all surprised to see Obama attempt to modify Affirmative Action to something "needs based" from strictly "race based".

Yea, he'll change it so that black ex-convicts get priority over everyone else. They "need" the opportunity more.
