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" and
"different". Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers; you're an 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 you are unstable. Attend 5 different
small colleges before graduating, then you're well-grounded.
If you spend 3 years as a community organizer, become the first black
President of the Harvard Law Review, help register 150,000 new voters, spend
12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, 8 years as a State Senator of a
district of 750,000 people, chair the state Senate's Health and Human
Services Committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a
state of 13 million people, sponsor 131 bills, and serve on the Foreign
Affairs, Environmental and Public Works, and Veteran's Affairs committees,
you don't have any real leadership experience.
If your resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6
years as a mayor of a town of 7,000 people, 2 years as governor of a state
of 650,000 people, you're qualified to be a heartbeat away from the
presidency.
If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2
daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian. If
you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, left your ill wife, and
married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.
If you teach responsible, age-appropriate sex education, including the use
of birth control, you erode the fiber of American society. If you staunchly
advocate abstinence-only education, while your teen daughter ends up
pregnant, you're 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, you don't represent America's family
values. If your husband is called "first dude", has a DUI conviction, didn't
register to vote until 25, and was a member of a group that advocated
secession of Alaska from the USA, yours is the quintessential American
family.
And, finally, if you're famous for your quick temper, you're the one to have
your finger on the red nuclear button.
OK, much clearer now.
