Are parenting skills a prerequisite for the job of POTUS, or is this only if the person is female?
Theodore Roosevelt was one of the great Presidents. As a Parent, he was beyond lame.
James Buchanan didn't ever have Parenting problems, but he was a lousy president.
George Washington was a great father of the country, but he married a widow with two kids, and never had any of his own. However, the granddaughter of one of his step sons gained
notoriety as the wife of a famous traitor.
We need to evaluate the candidate for office on competence and ideas.
From what I have seen, Palin did her work in a competent manner. And I like her basic ideas.
One can argue that her resignation as Governor was was either selfless surrender of a prize because of the expense Alaska was suffering because of PDS. Or her chickening out from the constant barrage of PDS. Or just selling out in order to flog a book. I would argue the first. You are, of course, entitled to your mistaken opinion if you disagree.
Getting bent out of shape because of a 16 year old girls face book screed is more than just a tad unhealthy.
