Mr. Obama has committed an unpardonable sin

[Uriel]

He reminds the yahoos and the mouth-breathers that he's better bred and better spoken than they are. He's a black man who has risen to great heights on a world stage.

Your indecorous language exemplifies perfectly the nature of the "yahoos" and "mouth-breathers" whose breeding and eloquence is far inferior to that of President Obama. Thanks for proving my point. :toast How does it feel knowing that a black man is a better human being than you are?

You can say whatever you want of Obama. You can call him a weak leader; you can accuse him of being indecisive; you can call him out on his human rights violations when he choose to reign down missiles on innocent civilians to take down specific targets.

But one thing you can't do is accuse Obama of being like Bush. The latter is a veritable simpleton. The former, on the other hand, graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law. He's much more intelligent and eloquent than Bush will ever be.

Oh, please. Even the most eloquent speakers committee gaffes every now and then, especially when they have to travel around the world giving speeches on a regular basis. The difference is that for Bush, this was the modus operandi. For Obama, it's the exception to the rule.

Straw man fallacy. Please don't put words in my mouth.

A better translation would be: when Bush does it, it's par for the course. Hence, one can rightly malign him for his tenuous grasp of the English language. But when Obama does it, it constitutes atypical behaviour, because he is ordinarily a well-spoken and eloquent man (his critics would say "professorial" even). Consequently, it can, in all likelihood, be attributed to extenuating circumstances.

[Uriel]

It's a bad thing when it's done on the basis of privilege. The very purpose of affirmative action is to give historically disadvantaged groups of people a chance to catch up. Applying affirmative action for those who already have all the advantages of the world defeats the purpose of doing it in the first place.
