"Why would you even say such a thing? Why would you even assume Obama got in on affirmative action. Do you think that is the only way a black man or women can get into Harvard. Obama's wife also went to Harvard."

Obama's Kenyan father who abandoned him at age two in Hawaii also went to Harvard. Obama, Sr. would have been at Harvard circa 1963/1964.

As I recall Obama, Sr. was part of an outreach effort by the USA to bring black Africans to study in the USA. This was the affirmative action outreach of the early 1960's.

Would you not agree that his father's attending Harvard had some influence on Obama, Jr. getting into Harvard?
