Bristol Palin Has A Bone To Pick With Obama Over Gay Marriage - ABC News
Obama should listen to this seasoned authority on political matters.
The former Dancing with the Stars contestant chastised the president for allowing his young daughters Sasha, 10, and Malia, 13, to influence his stance on gay marriage.
In an exclusive interview with ABC News on Wednesday, Obama said that his daughters have friends whose parents are same-sex couples.
There have been times where Michelle and I have been sitting around the dinner table and were talking about their friends and their parents and Malia and Sasha, it wouldnt dawn on them that somehow their friends parents would be treated differently, Obama said. It doesnt make sense to them and, frankly, thats the kind of thing that prompts a change in perspective.
In a blog posted Thursday, Palin criticized the president for consulting his teenage daughters emphasizing the word teenage when making a massive change in a policy position that could affect the entire nation.
I guess we can be glad that Malia and Sasha arent younger, or perhaps todays press conference might have been about appointing Dora the Explorer as Attorney General because of her success in stopping Swiper the Fox, Palin wrote.
