I am a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.

* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you are "exotic, different."

* Grow up in Alaska easting moose burgers, a quintessential American Story.

* If your name is Barack you are a radical, unpatriotic Muslim. Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you are a maverick.

*Graduate from Harvard Law School and you are unstable. Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you are 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 chairmain 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 do not 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 are qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.

* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raining 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you are not a real Christian. If you cheated on your first wife with a rish heairess, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you are 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 are 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 valued do not represent America's. If your 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 estremely admirable.

OK. Things are much clearer now.

Yep. Things are much clearer now. You are still confused.

Ah!, another gullible gaff:

"Sen. Obama, who has taught courses in constitutional law at the University of Chicago, has regularly referred to himself as "a constitutional law professor," most famously at a March 30, 2007, fundraiser when he said, "I was a constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president I actually respect the Constitution." A spokesman for the Republican National Committee immediately took exception to Obama's remarks, pointing out that Obama's title at the University of Chicago was "senior lecturer" and not "professor."

Recently, Hillary Clinton's campaign has picked up on this charge. In a March 27 conference call with reporters, Clinton spokesman Phil Singer claimed:

Singer (March 27): Sen. Obama has often referred to himself as "a constitutional law professor" out on the campaign trail. He never held any such title. And I think anyone, if you ask anyone in academia the distinction between a professor who has tenure and an instructor that does not, you'll find that there is ... you'll get quite an emotional response.

The campaign also sent out an e-mail quoting an Aug. 8, 2004, column in the Chicago Sun-Times that criticized Obama for calling himself a professor when, in fact, the University of Chicago faculty page listed him as "a senior lecturer (now on leave)." The Sun-Times said, "In academia, there is a vast difference between the two titles. Details matter."

Have to see how this plays out...

Somebody needs to get their facts straight. B. Hussein has only been a US senator for 2 years not 4 years. Actually I believe he has been a senator for as long as Palin has been a governor. The difference is she had executive powers and he has none. He won his seat in the state senate by having  corrupt Chicago political machine lawyers disqualify his opponent.

And please tell me what the heck difference it makes that her husband had an OWI 23 years ago. Did you ever take a look at the percentage of men from 18 to 30 that have at least one OWI on their record.

If this is all you got I must say your argument is very, very weak. Almost none existent.
