Bristol Palin: Malia and Sasha were the deciders

Bristol Palin hammers Barack Obama's decision on same-sex marriage with a blog post, titled "Hail to the Chiefs -- Malia and Sasha Obama."

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. Or that – 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.

Then she gets a wee bit biting.

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.

.... 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.

You knew, you just knew that this thing couldn't go 24 hours without Glee popping up, and you also knew it would probably be coming from the Right.
