Obviously Sara Palin has not found the work/like balance that people think she has. Proving this are the reports that her 17 year old daughter is 5 months pregnant. What a gigantic failure as a parent to let your 17 year old daughter find herself pregnant. Of course you cannot be with/guarding your teenager at all times. But of course you could teach them to be safe. Nope, Palin believes in abstinence. Awesome. That really seemed to work. You would think that knowing that this doesn't work in her own home would change her views on the topic. Nope! She just marries her daughter off and is excited to be a grandma. Awesome. Smart. Go God!

Let's review. You have just given birth to a baby at 44 who has Down's Syndrome. This child is going to need you more than any other of your 5 children has ever needed you. Your 17 year old is pregnant. You are letting your 19 year old go to war. And you have two other young daughters. What should you do next? How about accept the nomination for Vice President!? You've got a few minutes a day on your hands. Why not? Oh wait, maybe because it will be all over the media that your unwed teenager is pregnant? Wouldn't that be enough, the need to protect your child from the American Media? Nope.

Sorry. Sara Palin is a bad mom. She puts herself first, her ego, her "god" and her "country". I don't want anyone like this going near my daughters much less serving as a role model. And I am shocked that the Republican party doesn't get it. And I am shocked that the media thinks she is awesome and that it isn't ok to ask these questions. Just because women CAN be anything in this world doesn't mean that they can also forget their roles as mothers.

And to the people who say that I am being sexist, if Palin were a man, I would say the same thing. Any man with 5 children, including a new special needs baby and a pregnant teenager would need to get their own houses in order before thinking he can run the country.
