I'm still trying to figure out why this silly family squabble is national news.

Hello! The people who live next door to me are having the same kind of squabble with their teen daughter's baby's father! Why isn't THAT news, too.

It's the same kind of fighting that happens in practically every family with teen parents. It's part of the reason it's such a bad idea to get pregnant as a teen. Everyone involved lacks the maturity to deal with the real issues and the child has to grow up with his family split apart by distance and fighting.

Enough already! The only thing that comes from these articles is that it illustrates how miserable it is to be a teen parent.

Recently he also released sensitive CIA information about their interrogation technics to the public. He is also getting very friendly with Hugo Chavez and other communist leaders. He has even scheduled a meeting with the leader of North Korea. I ask you again, is Obama doing any better? So far I don't think so! He's only been in office three months and he's made a whole list of mistakes and according to you democrats he's supposed to be the smart one!

Yes! YES! He IS doing much better indeed and you need only to look at what the People of the WORLD think about us as a people to see that. Why you poor people are so afraid of leaders who couldn't mount an attack against this nation is beyond me but you continue to support policies that have been NOTHING but failure and attack any attempt to change those policies. Everyone KNOWS we can blow the world up and everyone knows we have the strongest military in the world so why act like it? Threatening and bullying sure hasn't gotten us much so far. Yes, we have a good President and he is going to move our nation forward. Let's not complain about how he cleans up the MESS left by a LIAR and Criminal by bashing him for telling us what we already knew. Most certainly lets not bash him for releasing the INSANE reasoning used by those criminals to break the laws of this nation and the International Community. Let's hold the Criminals responsible and stop trashing the messenger!

George W. Bush is a LIAR and a CRIMINAL. He KNOWINGLY and WILLFULLY LIED to me and EVERY other American, starting a War that did NOT have to be. He lacked the HONOR to step up and ADMIT the obvious fact that his reason for starting that War was WRONG. He LIED to me and EVERY other American about violating our Laws and constitution. He KNOWINGLY and WILLFULLY took this nation back to an ECONOMIC Policy that he and everyone else KNEW had never worked and could not work. He KNOWINGLY and WILLFULLY, put a Judge in our court system who had given a legal opinion that a Nazi Judge would give condoning the act of Torture. Now YOU can be proud of that if you like... that's your option, but PLEASE do not ask me to approve of it!

Liberals - the elitists who look down their noses at the rest of us when, in truth, I'm sure they have dramas in their lives too. However, they wouldn't be talking about a grandchild, or a child of their own when confronted with life's challenges. A lot of them would take steps to get rid of the evidence because it continues to allow them to pretend superiority that doesn't exist.

Can I ask what YOUR opinion of what a Liberal is have to do with this story? Everyone knows WHY you do it and it's simply childish! Their, those American's you choose to hate because they don't agree with you, families aren't relevant here. Why? Because THEY aren't running for office AND they aren't trying to tell the rest of us what OUR values should be. Failin Palin IS and thus we should ALL look very carefully at how her OWN Family matches us to her gestapo attitudes toward the rest of us!

And, I see the wannabe gadfly, who is so condecending about a spelling of the word "asinine", which really could have been another typo in the post, feels compelled to let everyone know his/her political slant.

Be gone you bumptious liberal. Ah, but I'm being redundant.

Well don't just attack your fellow American with that same tired old garbage you people have been putting out for decades now. EXPLAIN why you think his post is wrong. Why we should even give this Woman a second thought, given what has transpired over the last year or so with her and her family. She is one that wants to tell us all what our "family values" should be and I for one am VERY concerned about someone like that who has the dirty laundry in her OWN family that she has. Maybe this Air Head, and man she IS an air head, should stay home and work on her OWN short comings?

This whole story is politics pure and simple. If Mr. Johnston's family were wealthy contributors to the Republicon party, the Palins would be falling all over themselves to try to convince Levi to marry their daughter. Just another argument NOT to allow politicians and their offspring to breed.

lamas_Hamad: I ask you, is Obama doing any better? So far he has got us trillions of dollars in debt, so much in debt that our gggggggggrandchildren will be paying our debts hundreds of years from now. He is also releasing the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay who will only return to their countries and rejoin Al Queda and attack us again. Recently he also released sensitive CIA information about their interrogation technics to the public. He is also getting very friendly with Hugo Chavez and other communist leaders. He has even scheduled a meeting with the leader of North Korea. I ask you again, is Obama doing any better? So far I don't think so!

Salaam_Shalome: Have you ever considered the fact that there might be things about Levi that we don't know? I have a feeling that we haven't been told everything about him. I think the Palins probably have a very good reason for limiting and controlling his visits with his son that we don't know about After all they know him much better than we do!

"skyk2009: I'm not at all ashamed of George W. Bush or what he stood for! Granted, he might not be the brightest bulb in the pack and he did make mistakes but I think if we were in his shoes and faced with the situations that he was faced with, we, including you, would probably have done the same things that he did or we would have made even worse mistakes!"
So, being among the dumbest US presidents so far in history gets one a pass? Where can I sign up for that job? It's a sad statement he would make the same mistakes any average idiot citizen would make in the situations he faced. Being our Commander - In - Chief, I - we- should demand he be better than us, smarter than us and make MUCH better decisions than we would. However, he did not and we're certainly not better for it. Whatever retarded ideology he may have held could be forgiven, even tolerated by those of us that differ, had he done a better job as leader of this country both in representing us and pointing us in the right direction. No, I am ashamed, ashamed that my country voted in the bumbling menace twice, ashamed for the things he did to us and to the world and ashamed many of us still think it was all a good idea and ashamed at what we as a country have done, have allowed to be done in our name and the direction we as a country are now headed in because of people like George W. Bush. I am sorry.

Any politician who cannot keep their family problems to themselves and away from the media spotlight should not consider running for national office.
