Now I Get It

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 become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review,
register 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law
professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing 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 13
million people while 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 (sportscaster), 4 years on
the city council and 6 years
as the mayor of a small town, 20 months as the governor, of a state with
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 your 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 admirable.
OK, much clearer now.
