How is Mrs. Palin going to balance taking care of a infant with DS and the job of Vice President?

Question

thats is ALOT to handle....and which one has priority

Answer 1

Smiley Virus: the woman is just plain AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Umm, do you know what the ob of Vice President is? Clearly not.

The VP's job is to stay alive and about once every hundred years they break a tie in the senate. That's it. I'm pretty sure she can do that while taking care of her kids.

Answer 3

I fear that his choice could hurt him...not because she's a woman or because she has 5 children one an infant with DS... but because he seems to be hypocritical he's been picking apart Obama for his inexperience and youth and she's younger with less experience than Obama...she's under investigation for the alleged firing of the official...she majored in journalism and minored in politics........where's her experience...........as a republican I must say that I am somewhat disappointed but I'm willing to give her the next few months to prove him right.....show me what she's got.....she's got some work to do, because of her inexperience.....and what about those people that think dragging a DS infant on the campaign trail is wrong.......on the other hand leaving him behind will be wrong also.........I don't see it as a win-win situation..........Sorry folks...........I see what and why he did what he did.........I only hope it doesn't come back to bite him in the butt!

Answer 4

She seems like an awesome mom to me!  And she is the Governor of Alaska right now & seems to be doing just fine!  Sorry dems- that one won't work either...

Answer 5

Isn't this funny!  The Democrats, who always say women can do it all, are now all of a sudden saying Palin CAN'T  Do you believe it or not?  If she was a man, would you be saying she should stay home with her child?  

Answer 6

Working moms do it everyday and she's been doing it as  Govenor and doing just fine ... anyways it has to easier to keep her eye on her baby than it would of been for Hillary to keep an eye on Bill while he crawled around the Whitehouse closets...

Answer 7

You're kidding, right? Women have been doing it for years, taking care of families, raising children, and maintaining successful careers at the same time.

Why do you hate women leaders?

Answer 8

How did any of the other presidents do it?  How did the Roosevelts do it or any other political family?  How does ANY family that works do it.  They just DO.  It didn't seem to hinder her in getting nominated to VICE PRESIDENT or running successfully for governor.  This woman has some talent!

Answer 9

its called a NANNY!  tho shes got ALOT to handle, specially if ol johnny boy kicks the bucket... then were ALL in trouble.

Answer 10

the VP is mostly a show position and a few times in the Senate, nothing more...and millions of women do that already

Answer 11

She doesnt even know what a VP does.

Answer 12

I AM TRULY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT HER YOUNGEST CHILD, NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO RAISE A DISABLED CHILD.

THAT SAID, SHE IS BY FAR NOT QUALIFIED TO BE THE PRESIDENT IF MCSAME HAPPENS TO BECOME INCAPACITATED.

SHE ALSO MAY BE A PLOY THAT MCCAIN CAN DROP AT THE LAST SECOND IF ETHICS CHARGES ARE BROUGHT UPON HER , AND MAY JUST BE AROUND LONG ENOUGH SO IT IS SHE WHO GETS TO DEBATE BIDEN RATHER THAN A MORE MALE CANDIDATE.

A GREAT CHOICE FOR DEMOCRATES !!!

Answer 13

VP's don't do anything.

She'd be fine.

Answer 14

Women have been balancing having jobs, taking care of children and their homes and a dozen other things for years... it is men who can only seem to do one thing at a time... don't worry about her.

Answer 15

Nanny.

Answer 16

She should be home to care for her children.

She won't have time to take care of our country, should something happen to McCain.

Answer 17

She seems to be doing fine as Governor.  Give her some credit.

Answer 18

How do male politicians do it?

Answer 19

The same way Bill Clinton took care of his wife and his girlfriends.

Answer 20

She'll have to forfeit one responsibility.  Most likely her children, but she doesn't care.  She's republican!  she likes to hunt.  =)  

Answer 21

like normal.  she'll get an undocumented housekeeper, and the kids will grow up confused about which is mom.

Answer 22

Being a mom and working is a lot to handle regardless of your job or how many kids you have or what their condition is.  She does have a husband.  My guess is he will be there helping her, as a good supportive husband and father would be.  Working mothers get so much respect because they do it all.  And who knows, with her in the spotlight, perhaps DS will get more attention.  Look what Jenny McCarthy has done for autism lately.  Bringing things like that into the spotlight can help millions.

And my guess would be her children would be priority.  I would hope that was the case with anyone I voted into office.  If a politician can't be there for their family, they are certainly not the kind of person I want running my country.  That shows a complete lack of compassion.

Answer 23

Another sexist question from an Obama supporter.  Funny how nobody says this if a man is running.  JFK had babies too.  

McCain / Palin 2008

Spend some time reading about her policies rather than bashing her for not doing her 'womanly duties" and the world would be a better place.

Answer 24

Maybe her husband will take care of the children. I'm a mother of two, and I wouldn't trade taking care of my children myself for anything in this world. I had to make choices that affected my professional career, but I have no regret. On that I'm very conservative, and I think women should take care of their children, its the way God create it, and I'm happy with it.

I work with children 0-3 with special needs, and I have a concern regarding Palin's newborn diagnosed with Down Syndrome, this special children need lots of love and attention. I know some mothers that have had to quit their jobs, and stay home to care care and nurture their children with special needs.

I understand Senator Hillary Clinton running for President; she campaigns with her daughter Chelsea, and both seem to enjoy it!! Besides you can't compare Hillary with Palin.

As a woman I feel that McCain is using Palin as a gender object. No different from using naked images of women for advertising or other purposes. The only difference is that usually the woman is used to attract men, and this time he is using Palin to attract women!!! Very low movement for me.

Answer 25

They have help, that's how. Are you trying to besmirch her mothering abilities? Try another tactic if you want to disqualify her. This is beneath you and remember, we're in the 21st century.

Answer 26

I think she will manage, She has a husband that will be involved and probably will have a nanny to help out.  I think her child takes priority like most families would agree.  That said, there will be times when the country will need her more and she will respond.

She is not a single mother.

Answer 27

Exceptionally well

Answer 28

Is that the best you can do ???

Answer 29

Oh my are Obamaites scared.  I have a friend who is foster mother to 3 down syndrome children, I'd imagine that Palin's husband helps with the child as with most parents with children.  Raising children whether normal or with disabilities are raised with BOTH parents involved not just the woman.

I am exceedingly happy that someone of her excalibur is on the ticket.

McCain/Palin 2008    hoorah

Answer 30

She has a husband who is also a parent, and she has done a great job in Alaska. She will clean up our Government!

Answer 31

How many times are you going to ask this question???

At least while she is working, she can afford to give her child the best of care. And she did not abort the baby.

What is your problem?
