Musings about Obama & Sarah and the election...

If you use your ivy league education to help Americans whose jobs have
been outsourced, you are a failure.

If you use your ivy league education to help outsource American jobs,
you are a success.

If you're a minority and you're selected for a job over more qualified
candidates you're a "token hire."

If you're a conservative and you're selected for a job over more
qualified candidates you're a "game changer."

If you live in an Urban area and you get a girl pregnant you're a "baby
daddy."

If you're the same in Alaska you're a "teen father."

If you grow up in Hawaii you're "exotic."

If you grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, you're the
"quintessential American story."

If you name you kid Barack you're "unpatriotic."

If you name your kid Track, you're "colorful." (What's up with that?!)

If you're a Democrat and you make a VP pick without fully vetting the
individual you're "reckless."

If you're a Republican who doesn't fully vet, you're a "maverick."

If you're a man and you decide to run for office despite your wife's
recurrence of cancer you're a "questionable spouse."

If you're a woman and you decide to run for office despite having five
kids including a newborn... Well, we don't know what that is 'cause
"THAT'S NOT A FAIR QUESTION TO ASK."

If you get 18 million people to vote for you in a national presidential
primary, you're a "phoney."

If you get 100,000+ people to vote you governor of the 47th most
populous state in the Union, you're "well loved."

If you are biracial and born in a state not connected to the lower 48,
America needs darn near 2 years and 3 major speeches to "get to know you."

If you're white and from a state not connected to the lower 48, America
needs 36 minutes and 38 seconds worth of an acceptance speech to know
you're "one of us."

If you're a Black man and you use a scholarship to get into college,
then work your way up to being the president of the Harvard Law Review,
you're "uppity."

If you're a conservative and your parents pay your way to Hawaii Pacific
University . . . you only have four more schools to attend over the next
five years before you somehow manage to graduate.
