Confused about Obama
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 moose burgers, 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 2 years in the United
States Senate representing 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.
