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,  it's 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 voters, 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 lawyer 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.
