In a typed out message on her blog, Bristol Palin slammed President Barack Obama for announcing his support of gay marriage.
Bristol honed in on the fact that Obama's decision for the announcement was influenced by his teenage daughters writing in part on her blog, “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.”
The 21-year-old continued, “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.”
She continued " “In this situation, it was the other way around. 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.”
She finally wrapped up the message by concluding " “Sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking. 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.’”

Irony, anyone?
Smh...What status quota does she have to make the broad statement "we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview.” What about all the single mothers out here raising their children. Many raise both sons & daughters who are well- rounded individuals...and there is nothing wrong with their view of the world. Love, morals, and values is what a child needs. As long as those things are present it does not matter what the parent's marital status is.
Being a mom herself, Bristol shouldn't be so quick to judge.
Oh boy. I'm going to adhere to that old adage, "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."

I agree with all the comments. She is a young mother herself so who is she to judge? Im a single mother and while my daughter is still young, her not having a dad doesn't mean she wont grow up normal or be deprived of certain things. My boyfriend is there for her so she has a male figure but that isn't her biological dad.
