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 'secret' 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
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 a 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 U.S.,
your
family is extremely admirable.
