Doesn't drug use shortenlife....and Obama with his family history isn't the person with the strongest family tree either....on top of that blacks have none for having bigger risks for certain diseases.....so your story is b.s., probable just like mine.....you just can't tell...some people live to be 100 and others drop dead at a young age.
Are you honestly comparing a 46-year-old healthy male who is on no medications and who's had no previous health concerns or major illnesses, with a 72-year-old man who's on several medications for cholesterol, his heart, his kidneys and sleep, who's had four bouts of cancer and multiple surgeries in the past eight years?

Did you even read the original post? Apparently not.
My reply was to the question of whether Palin would ever live in the White House.
Well if you are that interested in my demographics, I have nothing to hide:
I am a mother of two young children myself, a daughter and a son. I am close to 40 years old and once my son was born I quit my job since to stay home with them, partially since my lowly job as a schoolteacher wouldn't pay high enough for childcare costs. I feel lucky that I don't have to work. I'm no kid.
This family is not the family that I want representing us as a nation, bottom line.
My question was if your daughter came home pregnant would it be your fault? Would it make you a bad Mom?
It's so interesting that just earlier this year, Bill O'Reilly and other Repubs were bashing Jamie Lynn Spears (she was engaged too) for being pregnant at 17 and how it reflected poor parenting. I also remember all of them applauding Dan Quayle about speaking against the show Murphy Brown as being a sign of deteriorating values due to an unmarried woman (who was financially capable) having a child. Now they have twisted the whole thing and are now saying having a child at 17 is wonderful and virtuous and shows your commitment to family. LOL! I guess maybe that will be the new sex education course...How to become a teenage parent.

While her family may be disfunctional, aren't most families? My question still remains would you be a bad mom if your daughter got pregnant, or your son got some girl pregnant. Will the choices our children make their whole lives determine whether we were good parents or not? Or is there some point in time when we say they made their own decisions despite what their upbringing was? 2 of my children are teenagers and have the always done what I told them to do, no but I refuse to allow someone to tell me I am a bad Mom. Life is life and bad decisions are a part of it.
I would think more people in the country would identify with someone who lives a real life and has real issues as opposed to someone who seems above reproach. Makes her alittle more real. But maybe I am just a "red-neck"

The McCain campaign put celeb Britney Spears and Paris Hilton in the infamous "Celebrity" ad, now the Spears family has interjected itself into the mix.
