Todd is a good dad. Governor Sarah Palin said these words often on the 2008 presidential campaign trail when introducing her four- time Iron Dog champion husband, Todd Mitchell Palin, to cheering audiences. The First Dude, as she affectionately calls him, is deeply committed to his marriage, is fiercely protective of his children, and constantly shows patriotic allegiance not only to his native Alaska, but to America.
Never slothful or lazy, Todd is always by his wifes side and works hard to provide for his family whether it be on a Bristol Bay salmon run or in the oil fields of Alaskas North Slope.
He understands that trust between a father and his children generates happiness, hope, confidence, and security.
He strengthens his family by instilling faith and security.
He leads his children by example to spend their energy helping others and not just themselves.
He takes great pleasure in his wifes success and much pride in seeing his children make quality decisions on their own.
As are all good dads, Todd is rewarded by the achievements of his children.
The man of integrity walks securely Proverbs 10:19
Happy Fathers Day to Todd Palin and all the Good Dads across America, including mine.
I wouldn’t say it was absent Dad. More likely just too permissive by both Mom and Dad.
one of my joys in life is taking trips on the Yukon River; BUT, I do it pretty much at current speed.......i.e. 7mph..........Todd and the boy’s literally hit 100mph on long stretches of the Yukon in white out conditions....meaning that at that speed you can hardly see your hand in front of your face. This is to say nothing of -60 temps! Contrast that manly activity and the balls it takes to do it with our curtain hanging ice cream sucker!!!
Todd’s a stud! Gus McRae, Nathan Bedford Forrest, John Wayne and George Patton would have a beer with him, for sure!
Nathan, maybe not ~ but how about Simo Häyhä? You think Todd’s in that league perhaps?
He is quite handsome!
no you are just trying to blunt a good article.
Thanks for the ping!
