Palin’s Daughter’s Redneck Baby Daddy: “I Don’t Want Kids!”

“I’m a f***in’ redneck,” so proclaims Sarah Palin’s Baby Daddy in law, Levi Johnston. The world only learned of the existence of Mr. Johnston a little over 24 hours ago, but already we’re getting a clearer picture of the man-boy. On a now offline MySpace page, Johnston added to his redneck remark his opinion on parenthood. “I live to play hockey ... I'll kick ass." Sounds like a teenager to me. However, next comes news a little distressing to Bristol. On the defunct page Johnston states, “I don’t want kids.” Now with Sarah Palin running a hard-line pro-life platform, there ain’t no way Bristol is getting rid of that baby. Congratulations to Bristol, but you have to consider how this unwed daughter looks on the ticket, especially if the daddy doesn’t want to play ball and jump into a shotgun marriage for some nice photo opps.

You might wonder if Bristol’s fate has anything to do with politics. For his part, Obama has called upon the media to keep the family out of the campaign. Fat chance. It’s a horrible spotlight for a girl to endure in this, her most private moment. One can only wonder if there will be a “first dude” of her own to stand by her and share the brunt of that attention.

Can a Presidential Candidate Be a Family Man?

I can’t help noticing that the announcement of McCain’s vice presidential pick has conveniently upstaged all reports of Barack Obama’s acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention (which you can watch here).

While I, too, am shocked and fascinated by the fact that McCain’s running mate is an inexperienced, staunchly anti-choice woman whom only he’s only met one time, let’s not forget to keep our eyes on Obama and Biden.

Much of the reports on Palin have focused, on the one hand, on her decision not to abort her child with down’s syndrome (if this makes her a hero, our nation has set the bar abysmally low), and on questions about her commitment to her five children, including an infant, on the other hand. So, if we’re going to judge Palin’s parenting record, what do we know about Obama’s? Obama has repeatedly urged parents to be more involved in their children’s lives, and his own interactions with his daughters Sasha and Malia indicate that he is truly a devoted, loving father.

This short video from the DNC shows the Obama family chatting, albeit in a very stilted environment. While the strong love amongst the Obamas is clear, one could argue that the children of any presidential nominee will inevitably suffer as their parents are consumed by the campaign. What do you think—is it possible to compete for the White House while putting your children first?
