Bristol Palin Rips Obama Over Gay Marriage Support & Parenting Skills

That's some tree she's barking up

Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol, who made as many headlines as her mother did in 2008 when she became a single mother at the age of 18, is up in arms over the announcement President Barack Obama made yesterday.

Obama revealed, once and for all, that he is in support of gay marriage after considering his two daughters, Malia and Sasha, and some of their friends who are being raised by same-sex couples. 

Disagreeing with POTUS' decision, Bristol wrote on her blog,

"While it’s great to listen to your kids’ ideas, there’s also a time when dads simply need to be dads. 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. 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 guess we can be glad that Malia and Sasha aren’t younger, or perhaps today’s press conference might have been about appointing Dora the Explorer as Attorney General because of her success in stopping Swiper the Fox."

Palin then slammed popular gay-friendly show "Glee," saying,

"Sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking. In this case, it would’ve been nice if the President would’ve been an actual leader and helped shape their thoughts instead of merely reflecting what many teenagers think after one too many episodes of Glee."
