I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....
* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic,
different.'
* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American
story.
* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.
* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well
grounded.
* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the
first
black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration
drive
that registers 150,000 new vo ters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional
Law
professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with
over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and
Human
Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate
representing
a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on
the
Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs
committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.
* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city
council
and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20
months as
the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified
to
become the country's second highest ranking executive.
* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising
2
beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real
Christian.
* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your
disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a
Christian.
* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the
proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no
other
option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed
teen
daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.
* If your wife is a Harvard graduate laywer who gave up a position in a
prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city
community,
then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't
represent
America's.
* If you're husband is nicknamed 'First Dude', with at least one DWI
conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until
age
25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of
Alaska
from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
OK, much clearer now.
