Why do people rip on palin when obamas mother was only 17 when she got pregnant?

Question

Furthermore his father was 25 (and some reports say his mother was actualkly 16 when becoming pregnant). So this means that his father was a child molester and they hopefully dated for at least a year before she got pregnant which would make her 15-16 and his father 24. Also his mother fornificated with her second indonesian husband during her relationship with her black first husband. So why do people rip on Palin's daughter who became pregnant with someone her own age and race when Obamas own mother fornificated at underage and became pregnant underage and his father was a child molester??

Answer 1

Obama's mother is dead and cannot run for office.  In any case what difference does it make.  Sarah Palin is a woman I could never vote for as her political and social views are completely opposite of mine.

You are off on a wild hair with all this drivel about Obama's mother. It isn't even at the level of comparing apples and oranges.  Give up!

Answer 2

obama's mom's date of birth:

nov. 29, 1942

obama's date of birth:

aug. 4, 1961

so she was 18, almost 19 when she had him and she was already in college. not a high school student.

but none of this (palin's daughter's age and pregnancy or obama's mom's pregnancy) has any bearing on how obama or mccain will be as president.

EDIT:

you didn't just mention 17, you also mentioned that maybe she was 15 or 16. it's right in your question.

Answer 3

Hey G,

We need to talk about your mother................

Answer 4

I guess it would really hurt you to get your facts straight before you post. Then again, ignorant is as ignorant does. There were people on here (and other places) talking about how this new pregnancy is Ailin's daughter's daughter's second one. That's just as stupid as what you're talking about. Ailin' wants to keep the pregnancy a "private family matter" but she and McSame keep bringing the girl and her boyfriend out in front of the cameras.

How hypocritical is that? They flew them in from Alaska and paraded them out on the tarmac as John McCain came in for the photo op.  

Answer 5

Palin is a candidate for Vice President; Obama's mother was not.  The people who use this arguement against her say that if she cannot control her own family better than that, then it is doubtful she will be able to run the United States of America.    

Answer 6

The difference being Obama has no control over his mother and father's s*x life. He wasnt even alive. Where as a Palin's child being a teenage mom could be a sign of bad parenting.  

Answer 7

All I have to say is that Obama's Grandmother (who would be SP's Equivalent) Never accepted a VP nomination.

Okay?

Answer 8

Simply because he's black - so anytime someone says something about him that's negative you hear the "racist remark".  Obama is the biggest racist I've seen since Hitler.  Obama is just as scary.  He even makes remarks about his own white grandmother "talking like white people".  Obama is a racist.

Answer 9

I think it's so stupid to call a person who ***** a 16 year old a child molestor... it's not like 16 year olds are undeveloped...

Answer 10

Quit lying. She was 18 when she conceived.

Palin was also unmarried when she conceived her first born so get over it already.  

Answer 11

Here's my answer:  Why the heck does it matter?

When Bill Clinton was getting his down-there delight in the oval office, the religious right (and even a large part of the left) were up in arms.  Yeah, he did a lame thing.  Yeah, he cheated on his wife.  MY only concern, however, is why everyone is looking for "Jesus" to run the country.

I want a leader who will help me find affordable healthcare;  a leader who isn't afraid of terrorism, but wont cry wolf at the sound of a car alarm;  a leader who cares about our education, environment, and economy.

My beef with Palin isn't because her daughter is pregnant.  That's her own deal.  I could care less that Obama supposedly did cocaine once.  I want someone who is going to lead us.

Not be our savior.

Answer 12

Nobody cares about this because Senator Obama's mother isn't running for VPotus.
