Although, you may agree with the writer and that is your right but the reference is not correct....the Washington Post never printed such an article, neither did Newsweek, or any other major syndicated paper.

The Truth:
This is a real article called " The Affirmative Action President" written by Matt Patterson, which appeared on the conservative opinion web site American Thinker on August 18, 2011.

This article did not appear in the Washington Post and according to a November 4, 2011 opinion in the Washington Post Patterson is not employed at the newspaper although he has had some articles published there in the past, but this article was not one of them.
