1. Why was affirmative action even brought up?

4. ? . . . . It affects people's ability to earn enough money to live on.
Why shouldn't it be brought up?

2. She was just trying to dance around the question
and of course, the ABC News losers let her get away with it, even though they interrupted almost all of Obama's answers even though he was directly answering them.

5. They didn't force her to answer the question.
I think she was speaking code for letting Affirmative Action die.

I LIKE the idea of basing it on economic background.

6. It was a trend.
Anytime you combine subjects like Affirmative Action, Rev. Wright, patriotism, William Ayers and bitter-gate in the same debate...

... it's a subliminal message of blackening Sen. Obama.

7. Just another of her meandering answers
she goes on and on, and after two minutes of talking, I still have no idea what she just said.

8. Obama's answer was needed and address's the fact that there are some rich black folk (I know some)..
..who would like to give some of the privlages awarded them via AA to someone else who can take advantage of it.

9. I think he is proposing a constructive change in AA, while Hillary
wants to let it die.
