Cost doesn’t go into why Obama managed to get to the top of politics without being all that good at it. The answer is distressingly obvious: Obama’s the biggest affirmative action baby in history. When other pols are trying, failing, learning, while climbing up the middle rungs of the ladder, he got a pass.
He got a pass? He got a pass?
A guy who went through eighteen months of brutal, foul, nasty, racist, ugly, depressing, demonizing, dehumanizing "opposition research", where he was attacked for being:
too black,
not black enough,
not white enough,
too white,
too smart,
too stupid,
being a "community organizer",
palling around with terrorists,
being far too ethnic,
being far too mundane,
a secret Muslim,
a Christian-hater,
an anti-Semite,
a fist jabber,
a misogynist,
a effete out-of-touch snob,
a Kenyan plant,
too "clean and articulate",
disrespectful,
America-hating,
and for being the damn anti-Christ...
and he got a pass?
Mickey Kaus can kiss my black ass. Repeatedly. Obama fought through all that racist, idiotic, stupid garbage and he won. They only made it harder for him. He took a nasty knock at the polls in 2010, and they made it harder for him again. He's still here. Pass? Obama's the most battle-hardened political survivor out there.
In Kaus's view, is it possible for an African-American to make it without being an affirmative action baby? Maybe he ought to ask himself why the hell he still has a job if he's spouting inanities like that.
Oh wait, he works for the Daily Caller. That explains it. The guy getting a paycheck from Tucker Carlson's Wingnut Welfare gravy train says the President is the quintessential affirmative action case. That's a Charlie Sheen lack of awareness folks...and you don't get that without plenty of time as a Villager.
Only guy getting a pass here is Kaus. Not from me.
