Did Joe Biden really say that about his Boss, Barack Hussein Obama?

Incidentally, the use of quotas to give minorities a break has a far more pernicious effect (at least from my perspective).

I was admitted to several top notch law schools. I was admitted to those schools on the strentgh of my LSAT's, my college grades and the depth and quality of my extra-curricular activities.

Yet, I have always had to fight the attitude that I got in because my status as a Hispanic.

It is a never ending battle. No matter what my achievements might be, there is always that yahoo that likes to believe that my name (not Hussein) got me admitted to law school.
