>>I do believe that the fact that she is black had a lot to do with Bush's decision<<

yes, but out of respect to the person you ought to give her the benefit of the doubt b/c you don't KNOW. it is not fair to her to have that weight laid on her - especially if it is not true - something you nor i will ever KNOW.

perhaps bush hired her b/c of her qualifications while others in his group wanted her due to color. i've seen that happen before.

>>As long as the people being appointed to important posts are qualified, I don't care about their race.<<

that's where the discussion typically ends for "non minorities." it should also end there for minorities.

>>I don't care for his views.<<

i hear ya. problem is, i don't see anybody that shares my views. they do all share my wallet, though, to serve their selfish desires.
