* If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you’re ‘exotic, different.’

* Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, yours is a quintessential American story.

* If your name is Barack you’re a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

* Name your kids Willow , Trig and Track, you’re a maverick.

* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you’re 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 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 and next in line behind a man

in his eighth decade.

* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful

daughters, all within Protestant churches, you’re not a real Christian.

* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and then left your disfigured wife

and married the heiress the next month, you’re a true 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 you’re 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 extremely admirable.

My wife has been struggling with an addiction to sleeping pills. I have worked very hard to try to get her the help she need but it dose not seam she wants to get better. With addiction comes the lying and deception, and 3 weeks ago was no different. Her recovery program has been to meat with a therapist once a week she has been meeting with the same person since October. She had had several small relapse since with the last in the beginning of January. She has had several thing that she promised me she would do help build our relationship back up one of witch was to finish her resume witch she did but it was all copied off the net. This broke my heart I confronted her she lied about it then fussed up. I told her could not go on living lie this and that I don’t wont to be married to her any more she told me she would do anything to stay together. I told her I wont her to go to rehab to get fixed up we went to meet with her therapist and she did not think that would take my wife in a rehab program because she was not currently using. I suggested that she started an intensive out patient. The therapists recommend she start going to AA MY deal was 90 meeting in 90 days. My wife has been going for three weeks now for the first two weeks she has gone to three meeting a week and last week she has only made two. We agreed that she would stop drinking during that 90 day she has now decided that it she only need to do this for 90 day. I have tried to be supportive and have empowered her to make her own decision whether they are right or wrong. I am totally frustrated with her because she is not following any program. She thinks she is dong great witch she is on not taking drugs but there is a whole lot more to life that just that. I am ready to just walk away from it all I don’t feel she is committed to getting better and that I am just spinning my wheels, I love her very much but I just don’t think I can stay with someone who doesn’t wont to get better. Have you been in situation like this? Am I total in the wrong? How importer is the 90-90 in AA? Have you ever total disagreed with you someone’s therapist what can I do to have more input in to her recovery? How do I make my wife wont to get better? When do you throw the towel in?

This is not comparing the ability of Obama to run the country with Palin’s inability. It shows the irony of the whole issue with Obama not being qualifed. You all know that was the major issue and still is the number one thing people point out with Obama. When it comes to Sarah Palin…with some republicans, her qualifacations don’t matter. It is not right.

On probation for DWI in tx, almost done, fines all paid off and classes all done with, only 3 months left. I have a suspended license and was driving my 8 month pregnant wife home the other day since she was having contractions and was pulled over in a different county then probation. The cop did not check for my suspended lic seeing as my wife needed to get home/hospital asap. He did cite me two tickets, one for speeding and one for not having a license on me. Can this affect my probation since as it was in a different county?? Does anyone know the laws in texas?

Well yes she is my ex wife but we are starting over after a 5 month break. We have been going back out for about 3 weeks now.

After this break we had we both understood what each other doesn’t like. So I thought we were both determined to make each other happy. Well before the break up she never got drunk or even drank at all. But she always used to talk about how she used to get messed up before. Drugs and drinking. Then she met me and Im such a square( never dranked,smoked, did drugs) that ” I ” feel like she felt that I was holding her back. If I was, I wasnt trying to but when you have 3 kids in a marriage I belive its time to settle way down and set a good image for the kids.
Any way, since the break up 5 months ago she has been living it up. She said no drugs but there was plenty of drinking. She also said no driving drunk either but I find that very hard to belive cuz she used to brag about it all the time. Well now that we are back together I told her that dinking makes me uncomfortable and I dont even like hearing about it. All I asked her to do is if she is drinking dont call me or tell me about it( maybe I went over board) well tonite she went out with her girlfriend and went drinking both of them. She called me and said she loved me and she misses me and such( she is in another city visiting some friends right now) but she was so drunk it made me feel hurt than happy that she was having fun. I just dont know what to do. I dont want to sound controlling but I really wish she would stop drinking and partying. We have 3 kids at a early age and its hard enough as it is. Should I leave her( I dont want to) or should I just suck it up and live with it?

I am 23 and she just turned 21 on christmas eve. Yes I know she has been drinking for a while under age.and our 3 kids are ages 3,2,1 years old. please help.

I’m a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight…..

OK, much clearer now.
