Bristol Palin, one of America’s most famous political daughters, is outraged that President Obama is taking advice from his own children.
The 21-year-old lashed out at the commander-in-chief, who said Malia,13, and Sasha,10, helped influence his decision to support gay marriage.
“While it’s great to listen to your kids’ ideas, there’s also a time when dads simply need to be dads,” the former Alaska governor’s daughter argued in a blog on Thursday.
It was aptly titled “Hail to the Chiefs — Malia and Sasha Obama.”
Palin — a single mom herself — then argued children are raised in homes where there is both a mother and a father.
“In this case, it would’ve been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that’s not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage. Or that — as great as her friends may be — we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview.”

I was referring to Dilbert’s post about Bristol Palin’s foundation work and her advice book, both of which are directed at young women.
I agree with you, I’m not swayed by the views of children on social issues, even the children of presidents.
