One of the most normal families ever to enter public life and the media want to keep them under a microscope while doing their best to ignore the serious character flaws of favorite lefties.
Like the Obamas, who have spent their lives getting free rides, writting racist screeds, cursing out America, blowing dope and hanging out with racists and terrorists.
Or the Clintons, who run around the country stiffing small town diner and restaurant owners, stealing the table silver from their hostesses and boinking anything in sight.
Not to mention those media darlings; the Kennedy Klan, who get a media pass for drunken whoremongering, wife beating, secretary drowning, and treason.
I am puzzled at why the media have failed to be equally concerned with Michell Obama. An attorney, prior to the campaign in 2005, she was a $150,000-a-year vice-president of external affairs at the University of Chicago hospital. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-517824/Mrs-O-The-truth-Michelle-Obamas-working-class-credentials.html How does she ever make time for her small children (aged 9 and 7?) sarcasm/
The difference has got to be (1) Palin has been openly placed in the public spotlight, while Obama’s role as an attorney has been played down; and (2) many people in America are afraid or uncomfortable with a woman holding that much power. The later is about as close to sexism as one can get. Why are they uncomfortable? - (1) Doesn’t fit the traditional gender role model and division of labor?; (2) Women are inherently not capable of managing that power (unless they are old widows with grown children )?; (3) A married woman with children can’t focus her attention on a job with great responsibility? or (4) It challenges the male hegemony on power?
What a dumbf$%k this author is. If I were married to a woman who had the opportunity to be the Vice President of this country I’d be more than happy to stay home with the kids to make it work.
I know a few families that have 5 or more kids and the one thing I notice about them is that Mom is Organized. Actually the other thing I notice about them is that the older kids HELP out with the younger ones. You can't have that many kids and let them run wild, "expressing" themselves. Big families have to function as a unit - no room for selfishness.
Anyway, VP has always been touted as a "do nothing" job. Sarah will probably have more time with her little ones over at the big house by the Naval Observatory than she did as Governor. That will give the whole family a few years to get used to their new environment - as well as our typical Northern Virginia summers!
Funny, they didn’t care so much this when America got its first female Speaker of The House, their power chihuahua, Nancy Pelosi.
