Believe it or not, they didn't typically give first consideration to women's applications at Ivy League colleges before Affirmative Action either. You Ann can thank feminists and African Americans for your chance to get to the front of the line too.
When I look at Obama, I see a deserving well qualified working class kid having doors opened to him because of AA. When I look at you, I see a very mediocre person being given a chance to advance not because you are qualified but because you are willing to debase yourself continuously for money and notoriety. When the doors were opened for you, you tried to bar them against any who came after you. That is the difference between you and him.
