- Wait a minute, hypnotoad72, do you even KNOW what Obama wants to teach little kids? He voted for a curriculum for kids grade K through 12 -- each grade taught appropriately. For kindergarten, what is appropriate is to teach kids how to resist pedophiles, for crying out loud. It has NOTHING to do with what a pee-pee does. (What kind of a stupid comment was that, anyway?)
The misinformation that goes around is outrageous. We''re going to elect another candidate that people mistakenly think is a ''real'' person we''d like to have over for a barbecue. I don''t want the president to be someone who does good barbecue. I want a giant on the world stage who can think, reflect, plan, work with people (not get snarky with them like Palin or pop his cork like McCain). I want a return to sanity. Is that too much to ask?
And I''ll know what kind of parents Sarah and Todd are with Trig when I see how they handle his growing years. I know from whence I speak. It''s tough. But rewarding. I hope they can handle it. But I''m not ready to canonize them just because the accepted him into this world. That part was only right. - Reply to this comment
- I don''t know that I''d consider her a role model for her baby! That''s a bit of a stretch---!
But, I do hope she does a better job with the baby than she did with her shameless, nymphomaniac daughter whom she FAILED miserably! Good luck. - Reply to this comment
- youngamerica....sheeesh, you are a rumor troll. The sequence of dates allows that Trig is Sarah''s.

- There was a story the other day which talked about how she toured the state''s prison facility, and rode with her son on her lap. Everyone blasted Britney Spears for doing this and said she was a bad parent. Does this not apply to Sarah Palin. I have two problems with this, 1) she took a baby with her while conducting official business, and 2) she did not have him restrained in a child safety seat.

- Good, very good. It''s about time for true discussion of options...instead of just suggesting the easy way out. I have found that doctors have become quite "my way or the highway" about things. Some doctors, like mine, discuss naturopathic and other "alternative" ways of dealing with health issues, which is very welcome in the face of such high medical costs...and insurance companies not funding even legitimate cures and procedures.

- Role model if that includes speaking in tongues and attending 6 colleges in 6 years to earn one degree.

- Your coverage is like one long Palin for VP commercial thinly veiled as reporting on Down''s Syndrome. Just stop it and DO YOUR JOB!

- Sarah Palin herself expresses mild symptoms of down''s syndrome. Because of her experiences with it, she can relate what her daughter''s son is experiencing.
Any mother that can''t teach her daugher about safe se x and stands on the side while her daughter gets pregnant out of wedlock, not once, but twice, is not a person fit to handle a political office responsibly. - Reply to this comment
- Your role model didn''t even have the guts to share the knowledge of her son''s condition with anyone in her family. Many people didn''t even know she was pregnant. Governor Palin acknowledged familial support, given the fact that one of her siblings'' kids was born with some abnormality. Had she shared the information with her family she would have had their support as well.
It almost seems she was embarrassed by her son. Sadly, we didn''t even see her or her husband hold him in public until after people started commenting on it. - Reply to this comment
- Sarah Palin is NOT a role model for parents of Down Syndrome kids. If you want role models, check out my parents and my 47 year-old sister. My parents, with five kids at home, kept their Down Sydrome daughter when doctors were telling people to put her in an institution and go one with their lives. And they started one of the first groups for parents of kids with Down''s ever! And my sister has a great life -- WITH our family. I see Sarah Palin USING her child and trotting him out in public day after day to make her look good. (He''s an adorable little guy, isn''t he? Such a good kid.) But I don''t see her as any kind of role model. She doesn''t know what the future holds with her child. He''s only a few months old. Pretty much like other babies. We''ll know what kind of role model she is when Trig starts growing up. And maybe she''ll stop using him as a badge of honor.
