Do those who criticze Palin's daughter for getting "knocked up" actually realize that Obama's momma...?

Question

was one year older and unmarried when she got pregnant? I know Democrats hate facts and figures but here you go:

Answer 1

People that harp about Palin's daughter only do it for political reasons but they only make themselves look like fools.

Answer 2

i think that violating the medical privacy of a minor child tells you

all you need to know about the democrat party!

Answer 3

Yeah...... Barack Obama actually mentioned that about his mother and told people to back off of Sarah Palin's daughter.

"Families are off limits."

As they should be...

Answer 4

  Yes we do. People are not criticizing her daughter, they are criticizing the absolute hypocrisy of the situation

Answer 5

What Obama's mom did is not Obama's fault. What Palin's daughter did is the responsibility of her mom at 17. There you go.

Answer 6

The major difference is that Obama didn't raise his own mother.

Answer 7

Amazing isn't it?  Not only was she unmarried but didn't she get pregnant by a married man?  

Answer 8

totally different..what the heck is wrong with u!! u cant compare the 2.

Obamas 'momma' wasnt running for the VP of the highest office.. look its sad that this kid is having a kid.. but if her momma wasnt so apposed to birth conrtol..we wouldnt even be having this convo!! MAN!

Answer 9

Maybe so. But to my knowledge Ann Dunham did not come from a family that included a politician pushing a family values barrow and advocating abstinence only s*x education.

How can you hope to keep up with the debate when you don't even understand the point being made?

Answer 10

you realize obama's campaign said that they won't smear family shortcomings?

this is the actual quote

“I have said before and I will repeat again: People’s families are off limits.”

grats on being an arrogant moron though

Answer 11

WRONG! I took this from YOUR own source..

the couple married on February 2, 1961 in Maui, Hawaii.

On August 4, 1961, at age 18, she gave birth to her first child whom she named Barack Hussein Obama II.

(She was an ADULT and she was MARRIED)

Answer 12

I don't think people should judge people, Period, especially not on what their family members do.

We are all human and we all make mistakes.  Anyone who is perfect should be the only one to judge on what we do, and that is God.

Answer 13

No but its ok if its Obamas mother, just not ok for Pailins daughter. Typical Dem style, ok for them, not for us.

Answer 14

I realize that. So I don't criticize her for her daughter being pregnant. I criticize her for all the other things she did wrong.  

Answer 15

Wow.

She was unmarried when she got pregnant, married when she actually gave birth.

The same has been said for Palin's daughter.....she plans to marry the father, for all we know before the baby arrives.

The whole point should be moot.

Answer 16

18 an 17 is a big diffence 18 your an adult an 17 your a teenager plus she did get married

Answer 17

You see how during the DNC repuplican people intelligently listened while at the RNC the democrat nut jobs can't help but destroy the city, attack cops, break stuff, on and on. Is this their way of saying "Hey America, vote democrat, we're more mature"

Answer 18

1950s and 2008 is a big differences guy.

Answer 19

No matter how you make it sound it was and is not good for the Republicans. I am a Republican. This was a mistake. Twist it however you want but this is a mistake that will haunt us.

Answer 20

What's your point?  Madelyn (Ann's mother) didn't run for Vice President forcing her religion into the national debate on birth control.  The issue of pre-marital s*x isn't our concern.  It's s*x Ed.

Answer 21

Do you realize that no one is criticizing Bristol?  Most people are criticizing Sarah Palin and her abstinence only approach.  Education is a good thing.

Answer 22

I'm not criticizing either & realize we'll be bandying this aroud for a while. It really is an isue for the families not us.

I hope we can get back to issues soon.

Answer 23

Obama puppets don't see anything, most are blind

Answer 24

I can't believe people focus on mindless c**p like this. If it was an average US citizen, this wouldn't even be talked about. Why not focus on the policies and issues.......Bush was an alcoholic and he got voted in. Wow, some people are really stupid be SO concerned about these little things

PS Wiki is an unreliable source. anyone can edit the pages. if you were in university and quoting wiki on a paper you would get marked considerably lower.

Answer 25

Great points, Jeff!

Side to @True Obama Patriot (and others who say Jeff is wrong) Why are you saying Jeff is wrong, when what he said was perfectly accurate and correct?

He said Dunham was one year older than Bristol Palin when she got pregnant. Palin is 17, Dunham was 18, which is one year older just as Jeff said.

Dunham was unmarried when she got pregnant, and got married three months later. Bristol says she will marry her boyfriend before the baby is born.

@ Those who say Sarah Palin doesn't believe in birth control and didn't allow her daughter to use it ~ you're either completely ignorant of the facts or you don't care that you're lying. Sarah Palin fully believes in birth control, and believes it's a personal choice, not something that should be forced on anyone. She fully advocates using it, as it is a far better alternative to unwanted pregnancy than abortion, which she does not believe in (except in certain dire cases.)

Typical ignorant liberals; open mouth, insert foot, chew vigorously...

Answer 26

momma obama gave birth to the messiah so this is a "non-issue" as far as obama supporters are concerned. palins daughter is just going to give birth to an ordinary kid so shes fair game as far as his supporters are concerned. the rules that apply for normal people are not the same as the rules that govern a messiah when are u going to learn this??? and obama was raised by this woman who had a child out of wedlock and went around chasing men all over the globe who were much older and the men themselves had had illegitimate babies like george obama who they didn't care for for those people who are saying obama didn't raise his mother this person raised him scary isn't it? wheres the self respect in chasing men all over the planet who already had tons of kids by other women and left you as soon as u fell pregnant. sounds like the mom had low self esteem issues and she raised a kid thats more scary to me

Answer 27

Well, Bristol is getting married to her baby's daddy too, so they are the same, apparently Obama's mom was pregnant and not married, if they were married in Feb and she had him in Aug...then she too was unwed at pregnancy! Just like Bristol Palin is doing. And was Obama's mother pregnant at 17. then turned 18 before having him????

There is 9 whole months there, time to have a birthday and get married!  What's the difference?

We all know.. no matter what you teach teenagers, they have to learn on their own!~ Look at they cliche'  "the preachers daughter"..... If all teenagers did what their parents taught them, they'd all be perfect- right?

Answer 28

No one is criticizing Bristol Palin. They maybe noticing the failure of abstinence only programs. (Palin, McCain and Bush  spend your tax dollars on abstinence -only s*x ed, which clearly did not work for Palins family)

They also might think it ironic that both Palin and McCain refuse to support Teen Pregnancy programs. And go as far as considering  popular birth control methods (the pill, IUD) equivalant to abortions.

Answer 29

whatever, if she was a dem, then you people would be talking about how her loose liberal moral values led to her inability to be a good parent, then you spin it into if she can't lead her daughter then how's she think she could lead our country. then, it would be about how she really wasn't a christian, b/c if she was a real christian, then her daughter would have saved herself for marriage, instead she must be a member of one of those religions that encourage girls to be loose. that's what'd you say if she was a democrat.

that's why your all a joke, spin it your way, "oh these things happen, she's so courageous for choosing to keep the child." whatever, if she were a dem then you'd spin it to be the worst thing ever.  

Answer 30

"patriot????? WRONG! I took this from YOUR own source..

the couple married on February 2, 1961 in Maui, Hawaii.

On August 4, 1961, at age 18, she gave birth to her first child whom she named Barack Hussein Obama II.

(She was an ADULT and she was MARRIED)"

AHHH so Obama was born a full trimester premature??? LOL busted its ok though obama didnt even get the years right when his parents got together to sound better for a speech....thats normal though for a lib...they lie to sound good

"What Obama's mom did is not Obama's fault. What Palin's daughter did is the responsibility of her mom at 17. There you go"

Dude you do not even know the abortion laws. If Bristol was a giddy Dem she could have ran away to another state and got an abortion LEGALLY and went back home without any legal consent from her parents...and it would be ILLEGAL for the media to know...Dems know about going at something at full r****d strong and attack everything trying to get everything both ways..

Answer 31

Perhaps a lot of political issues had sparked since Sarah Palin was announced as VP. I do not know why others think it is a big issue.

Even Barack Obama himself think that the pregnancy of Sarah Palin's daughter should be "off-limits"

The Democratic presidential hopeful declared: “Let me be as clear as possible. I think people’s families are off-limits, and people’s children are especially off-limits. This shouldn’t be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin’s performance as governor or her potential performance as a vice president.”
