Sarah Palin’s 17 Year Old Daughter Pregnant, Remove Palin From the Ticket!

It was announced today that the 17 year old daughter of Vice-Presidential hopeful Sarah Palin is pregnant. Due to this, Palin should be removed from the ticket immediately!

She clearly cannot control her own daughter. What makes her capable of being the #2? (Note the sarcasm!)

Ok, enough with the satire! Sarah Palin’s daughter is NOT running for office. Sarah Palin is and the last time I checked, she is not pregnant, she is over 18 and doing one hell of a job in Alaska.

Since this is a political job, I think she has a pretty respectable political resume:

She has more experience to be President that Barack Obama, at 44 (42 ?), she’s the youngest governor in Alaskan history, as well as the first woman…She’s hugely popular in her state, known for her reform record as governor.She’s a lifelong member of the NRA. She admits to “having gay friends” although she opposes same-sex marriage.

“Highlights of Governor Palin’s tenure include a successful push for an ethics bill, and also shelving pork-barrel projects supported by fellow Republicans. After federal funding for the Gravina Island Bridge project that had become a nationwide symbol of wasteful earmark spending was lost, Palin decided against filling the over $200 million gap with state money. “Alaska needs to be self-sufficient, she says, instead of relying heavily on ‘federal dollars,’ as the state does today.”

She has challenged the state’s Republican leaders, helping to launch a campaign by Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell to unseat U.S. Congressman Don Young and publicly challenging Senator Ted Stevens to come clean about the federal investigation into his financial dealings.

In 2007, Palin had an approval rating often above 90%. A poll published by Hays Research on July 28, 2008 showed Palin’s approval rating at 88%.

As far as Obama goes…

Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, was asked at a brief press conference in Monroe, Mich., about the suggestion by some Republicans that Democrats – particularly liberal bloggers – were trying to advance rumors about the Palin family.

“Our people were not involved in any way in this and they will not be,” Mr. Obama snapped, his voice raised. “And if I ever thought there was somebody in my campaign that was involved in something like that, they’d be fired, O.K.?”

Mr. Obama said the pregnancy “has no relevance to Governor Palin’s performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president.” He added that, “my mother had me when she was 18. How a family deals with issues and teen-age children – that shouldn’t be the topic of our politics.”

“So,” he added, “I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories.”

I gotta give Obama respect for this one!

My message to Sarah Palin:

“Hang in there! Don’t let anyone push you around. This about you and your abilities as a political figure, not a parent!”

What do you guy’s think?
