This email has been spreading widely around the internet. Just a thought for a slow Friday afternoon.
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.”
Black teen pregnancies? A “crisis” in black America .
White teen pregnancies? A “blessed event.”
If you grow up in Hawaii you’re “exotic.”
Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, you’re the quintessential
“American story.”
Similarly, if you name your kid Barack you’re “unpatriotic.”
Name your kid Track, you’re “colorful.”
If you’re a Democrat and you make a VP pick without fully vetting the
individual you’re “reckless.”
A Republican who doesn’t fully vet is a “maverick.”
If you spend 3 years as a community organizer growing your organization
from a staff of 1 to 13 and your budget from $70,000 to $400,000, then
become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a
voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new African Amerian
voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, then spend
nearly 8 more years as a State Senator representing a district with
over 750,000 people, becoming chairman of the state Senate’s Health and
Human Services committee, then spend nearly 4 years in the United
States Senate representing a state of nearly 13 million people,
sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment
and Public Works and Veteran’s Affairs committees, you are woefully
inexperienced.

This is great! It’s all about the “spin” isn’t it!
That’s the political machine, spin, spin, spin. What the public needs shift through is separating spin, rhetoric, from actual facts and truth. Not an easy process with the media available today.
