What a crock! Someone needs to tell Obama that top earners are "just hard workers."

Someone needs to tell Obama something, alright!! Tell him to get lost !
I never could figure it out.....why if you work hard and earn well, you are penalized?????
Ya'll need to work on being SC*.
*Socialist Correctness.
Or because you just happen to have the correct skin color to benefit from affirmative action programs.
This should spark some interesting and heated discussion.
Well sure, because if you take a look around, we have far too many minorities in positions of power, wealth, and privilege. Those darn affirmative action programs....This should spark some interesting and heated discussion.

Is that a lack of achievement issue or a denial of opportunity issue.
When I see someone such as yourself that is pro affirmative action I wonder if you would support it to the degree of giving someone your job that you feel was denied an opportunity?
I'm not pro affirmative action, I oppose it on principle.Is that a lack of achievement issue or a denial of opportunity issue.

Then why did you call me out? My statement was anti-affirmative action, not anti-minority.
If you were trying to point out that being born a minority in America is far from a plus, historically I would agree with that.
But, if "liberals" would have their way, being born a minority would automatically qualify you for preferred treatment in order to give you a "step up". Is that the fair way to rectify past injustice, to create more injustice? No.
I just thought this whole thread was ironic in that the title of the thread is that Obama feels top earners benefit from luck. But many feel Obama benefited from luck to get where he is.
But then it was suggested that most of the top earners in our country became that way through hard work. I feel that probably most of them are in the positions they are in because of an accident of birth.
If you rise to the top based on you own ability I applaud you, no matter what color you are. But if you used your color to advance, or if you were born to great wealth and used that as your spring board for greater riches, I am less then impressed.
