I want to respond to his speech this morning, and I want to respond directly to the president, on behalf of the Michigan workers and families who are struggling as their jobs are being shipped overseas.

 Discriminations: Michigan Governor: Affirmative Action Is “Reparations”!
Blacks or mulattos desiring to settle in Michigan were required to produce a certificate of freedom issued by a court within the United States.
I do agree with Governor Granholm that Affirmative Action is needed in 2006 Michigan, and 2006 America, not ONLY because of white racism in the 19th Century, but white racism in the 21st, something many of my anti-affirmative action type friends here are loathe to admit even exists.
The fact is that the University of Michigan is a rare outpost of social equity in a landscape dominated by a racial divide that is much larger today than it was in 1960.

 In the Race for Governor of Michigan, the Struggling Economy Is Topic A - New York Times
And so, while elections in other regions have turned to matters like national security, the war in Iraq and Congressional scandal, Michigan’s races for governor and, to a lesser degree, the United States Senate are hinging this year almost entirely on the struggling economy and the question of who is to blame for it.
DeVos regularly ticks off dire statistics: with major cuts at the Detroit-area automobile companies, Michigan’s unemployment rate of 7.1 percent is one of the worst in the nation; the state has lost 85,000 jobs in the last four years; and it has ranked second in the number of young people moving elsewhere.
Granholm, who said hers was the most aggressive economic recovery plan in the nation, seemed to sidestep responsibility for what has happened here, saying she had “stepped into this current” in a state that had long depended on cars for its livelihood.
