The Affirmative Action President

This is the first time I have seen this piece. It is very well done and accurately describes my feelings of our current POTUS. Many of you have probably read this, and for those who have not..read it. It is making the rounds on blogs lately so I posted Snopes findings of its origins to eliminate confusion.

Snopes – Origins:   The opinion piece referenced above was penned by Matt Patterson and was published (under the title “Obama: The Affirmative Action President”) on the American Thinker web site on 18 August 2011. Although the important “who” of the attribution is correct, however, the “where” is incorrect: despite the mention of the Washington Post in the example cited above, this item was never published in either the print or online version of that newspaper (nor, as claimed in later versions, was it published in Newsweek magazine).
