Sarah Palin, Go Clean Up Your Own Back Yard

I know, I know! Barack says that Sarah's family life is , "off limits". So she gets to the Twin Cities only to start screeching about Obama being unfit to lead. Seems a little shallow to me. About as shallow as her own qualifications to lead. Leadership starts in the home, adults leading children through childhood and preparing them for adult life, careers and starting their own families.

Personally, I don't think that marrying off a 17 year old because she is pregnant is a good choice. As far as I know, mind and body are not fully developed yet, inspite of the reproductive organs swilling in hormones at full throttle. 17 year old girls who get pregnant and keep their babies are another statistic for poverty waiting to happen. Holy matrimony is not the answer, either, statistically speaking. Mothers in this catagory end up as single mothers with no training, no job skills and no means to raise a child.

They must learn a different set of skills. They must learn the rules of the Department of Economic Security and how to keep qualifying for food stamps and a stipend to survive on. The housing is cheap, rundown and depressing. So is the chance for a brighter future. There are people that beat the odds and make it. There are too many that never will make it better for themselves or their children.

So, Sarah! I hope your plans for the nation and your"proven" ability to lead our Congress will have a better back up plan than the one you are offering your daughter. If I were you, I would be very careful pointing a finger at someone else's qualifications, when your own back yard is in need of a clean up.
