Unqualfied white man admitted into Harvard over more qualfied blacks

Well I predict the deregulations that are coming for guys like Trump will widen the gap between the rich and poor.

I have two privileged nephew's. Should they apologize my brother gives them every advantage he can? No. So I won't begrudge trump

Since the gap between the rich and the poor increased more under Barack Obama than any other President...it's hard to envision anything that Trump could possibly do to widen it more than it's been widened! Trump actually grasps what makes business men invest money and create jobs. It's an anticipation of profit...something that Barry could never quite figure out.

You must not have a good imagination then because it was all the GOP Bush policies that widened that gap. And Trump is going to double down on all that stuff. Lets see what were the things that caused the widened gap???

CEO pay went up while wages for workers stagnated
They raised co pays and deductables for workers which means less take home.
Cuts to social security and medicare
Hiring illegals so the business owner makes more but workers take the hit
Tax breaks to the rich
Corporate tax breaks

Its hard for me to see how the gap isn't going to get bigger.

Barack Obama was in office for two terms, Sealy! That's eight long years! During that time the gap between the rich and the poor got wider than any other President. What's laughable is that you on the left can't admit that happened...so you've decided that you'll blame Obama's failure on George W. Bush despite the fact that Democrats controlled the House, the Senate and the Oval Office when Obama took office and could have done a complete overhaul of the tax system. What did Barack Obama do to address ANY of the problems that you just named? Are you claiming that he was such an impotent President that he powerless to pass any legislation to address those issues? Interesting narrative when he WAS able to pass the Affordable Care Act!

No we know it happened. You refuse to admit why it happened. What did Obama do to widen the gap?

Eight years of an administration that didn't have a clue how to create jobs and relied on microscopic interest rates from the Fed to keep the economy from cratering created a situation where the Middle Class and the poor made few gains while the rich who had access to investment capital cleaned up in a resurgent stock market. Obama talked a good game about "income inequality" but his lack of an economic strategy to create jobs devastated both the poor and the Middle Class while it enriched the wealthy!

Blaming all of THAT on George Bush is an amusing concept.

You do know Obama left Trump an unemployment rate of under 5% don't you?

As Trump takes aim at affirmative action, let’s remember how Jared Kushner got into Harvard.

In 1998, according to sources familiar with the gift, the New York University alumnus [Charles Kushner] pledged $2.5 million to Harvard, to be paid in annual installments of $250,000. ... At the time of the pledge, Kushner’s older son, Jared, was starting the college admissions process at the Frisch School, a Jewish high school in Paramus, New Jersey. A senior in 1998-99, Jared was not in the school’s highest academic track in all courses, and his test scores were below Ivy League standards. Frisch officials were surprised when he applied to Harvard — and dismayed when he was admitted.

“There was no way anybody in the administrative office of the school thought he would on the merits get into Harvard,” a former school official told me. “His GPA did not warrant it, his SAT scores did not warrant it. We thought for sure, there was no way this was going to happen. Then, lo and behold, Jared was accepted. It was a little bit disappointing because there were at the time other kids we thought should really get in on the merits, and they did not” ...

... Margot Krebs, who was director of Frisch’s college preparatory program at the time, said, “Jared was certainly not anywhere near the top of his class. He had some very strong personal qualities. He’s a very charming young man with a great deal of poise, the sort of kid you would look at him and say, ‘This is a future politician.’ It was an unusual choice for Harvard to make.”

As Trump takes aim at affirmative action, let’s remember how Jared Kushner got into Harvard

Kushner is not the only example of someone white getting into a college they were not qualified to enter.

He is a Jew, moron.

Jews are disproportionately represented at Harvard, whites are UNDERrepresented.

He is a White Jew moron. Jews come on all races ..including "White."

The point is, that it wasn't the white that got him in it was the Jew.

I find it interesting how intellectually dishonest Republicans are when it comes to how good Obama did.

Is there any question if it were McCain or Romney Republicans would have made the argument that presidents don't have that much to do with the economy.

Or they be bragging about McCain 80 months of job growth.

I remember last year they didn't want to hear about the stock market this year it's all they talk about.

And now the unemployment is 4% but last year it was 20% according to liar Republicans

Given the obstructionist Congress that he had to work with for his last six years, Obama pulled off a miracle.. he is loved by the majority of Americans and the entire world. That alone makes your argument invalid.

the economy booms and hiring ensues.

Then people are as dumb as Republicans think. When we didn't vote the Republicans out in 2010 we proved we don't pay attention and we reward bad behavior.

That ok though because the Republicans are even more ineffective. Maybe Trump will turn people back. Although he hasn't ruined Obama's good economy yet but it's early. Bush didn't even get 9-11ed at this point.

You can only blame so much on GOP "control", JQ! The fact is...Barack Obama came into office with large Democratic majorities in the House and the Senate. What he DID with those majorities is what led to the biggest one term turn around in modern political history with dozens of Democrats getting voted out of office because they supported things like the Affordable Care Act and the Obama Stimulus that managed to waste nearly a trillion dollars of tax payer money while creating so few jobs they attempted to hide how bad things were behind the whole "Jobs created or saved" farce!

Barry had the power. The voters took that power away from him because of what he did with it. When he was first elected he lectured the GOP minorities that elections have consequences and that he had won. When the GOP took back the House and Senate, Barack Obama did a complete 180 on that concept and declared that he had a phone and a pen and if Congress wouldn't give him what he wanted...then he would use Executive Orders to push through his agenda.

I'm rather amused by your view that the GOP was at fault for stopping Obama's agenda in 2010...when they were elected by the voters and sent to Washington to do just that...but you think it's admirable for the Democrats to oppose EVERYTHING that Trump proposes even though Trump was elected by the people to change the way things work in Washington.

No, The president really has no direct control over job creation but he gets credit when it happens and he gets derided when the unemployment rate goes up. None of that has anything to do with me, that's just the way it is.

You can only blame so much on GOP "control", JQ! The fact is...Barack Obama came into office with large Democratic majorities in the House and the Senate. What he DID with those majorities is what led to the biggest one term turn around in modern political history

Obama lost his majority in Congress because of apathy on the part of democratic voters. The voters who voted for Obama and put him in office didn't show up for the 2010 congressional elections:but, the less numerous Republican supporters did. That had nothing to do with"what Obama did with his Congressional majority. But they did show up again to re-elect Obama.

with dozens of Democrats getting voted out of office because they supported things like the Affordable Care Act and the Obama Stimulus that managed to waste nearly a trillion dollars of tax payer money

B*******, the Democrats weren't voted out of office because of what they supported. The Democrats were voted out because the Democratic support base didn't show up to vote. But you do have a vividly wild imagination and your premise sounds good. Too bad it isn't based in fact.

while creating so few jobs they attempted to hide how bad things were behind the whole "Jobs created or saved" farce!

By January 2016...Obamas job numbers looked pretty damn good.

• The economy has added more than 9 million jobs, and the jobless rate has dropped to below the historical median.
• The number of long-term unemployed Americans has dropped by 614,000 under Obama,

Barry had the power. The voters took that power away from him because of what he did with it.

The voters? Nope... A minority of faithful Republicans took advantage of the Democrat's apathy...all they had to do is show up and vote.

When the GOP took back the House and Senate, Barack Obama did a complete 180 on that concept and declared that he had a phone and a pen and if Congress wouldn't give him what he wanted...then he would use Executive Orders to push through his agenda.

What choice did he have? The obstructionist Congress wasn't going to help him in any way. In fact they nearly caused a financial collapse of the government by refusing to even pay for
anything...including wages and salaries for the military. Obama,backed by the constitutional stipulations that the national debt will not be questioned.
Obama was authorized Constitutionally to issue executive orders and borrow more money if need be to get funds to pay due debts if Congress didn't act.

I'm rather amused by your view that the GOP was at fault for stopping Obama's agenda in 2010...when they were elected by the voters and sent to Washington to do just that

Again...the GOP took over congress because of Democrat apathy, not because of a national mandate.
Crosscheck and voter suppression may have had a hand in it too.

but you think it's admirable for the Democrats to oppose EVERYTHING that Trump proposes... even though Trump was elected by the people to change the way things work in Washington

Yes I think it's admirable that the Democrats oppose everything Trump does. First of all he opposed everything
Obama did and so did the most Republicans. Payback is a mother fugger Isn't it. And "the people" of whom you keep referring to have never been the majority of American voters, they just showed up to vote and the Democrats didn't. That's the difference.
