You've probably already seen this. But in case not:
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 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 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 DUI 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.
