I'm A Little Confused....

I received this in an email recently- a different way to look at things....

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,you're a quintessential American story.

* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, and you're a maverick.

* Graduate from Harvard law School and be President of the Law Review, and

you are unstable.

* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well

grounded.

* If you spend 3 years as a community organizer, 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 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 extremely admirable.

OK, much clearer now.
