Of Sarah Palin and Barack Obama

What's in the news today?  Sarah Palin's oldest daughter, Bristol is seeking child support from her ex-boyfriend, Levi Johnston, and it is all over the media.  But I must ask "What is so earth shattering about this revelation"?  As someone who has bashed Palin for equating the ability to see Russia from an island off the coast of Alaska to being an expert in foreign policy, I find the depths to which so-called talking heads can descend quite disgusting.

Divorces, child custody battles, and attempts to obtain child support from deadbeat fathers, happen every day, all over the world.  So Palin's daughter is attempting to get child support from her ex-boyfriend, after they created a child out of wedlock.  So what?  Because this gives the far left so much meat for their character assassination grinders, as they attempt to link events in Bristol's life to Sarah Palin's being fit to be a mother, and of her pro-life stance in politics.

As for Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin, they should realize that their fight for custody of Tripp is going to result in one severe casualty, the child.  Bristol serves no purpose in not allowing Levi to see his daughter, other than using the child as a tool to exact revenge.  And Levi?  His excuse, that he is not allowed to see his daughter, is lame.  If he really cared about Tripp, he would just send the money, and save all the excuses for the courts.  By their actions, both Bristol and Levi are setting their daughter up for eventual failure in life.

But where does Sarah Palin come in?  She doesn't.  For all we know, she could be the best mother in the world, but even that can never guarantee that her kids will end up with values.  All she can do is try.  A while back, I was convicted of a DWI.  Was that my mother's or father's fault?  Of course not. The blame is all mine.  Parents can only do so much.  But Palin will never be able to try hard enough in the eyes of some of those on the far left.  To them, she will always be in the wrong.  These are also the same people who rallied around Obama, when the "birthers" and "teabaggers" attempted to assassinate his character.  You would think that, after the smear attacks on Obama by Orly Taitz and her minions, that the far left would understand that some things are just too slimy, even for politics.  Or, could it be that, much like the birthers, the only thing that matters to many of the Palin bashers is the letter, either a D or an R, that comes after the name of someone?

Should we just chalk it up to politics, or should we, the American people, demand more out of those who supposedly speak for us?  I believe that the answer to this question is a no-brainer.
