Wait, one link says "you can’t destroy your own life and career for the sake of the kids" but you think Palin should pass up a chance for a major promotion? Next you'll be telling us the best thing a single mom can do for her kids is to stay home collecting welfare.

Steve @ bripblap Jim, you'll notice that the link about you're mentioning is my summarization of what FT said. I'm saying he makes a good case, but I don't agree with it. Palin should pass it up if she's as much of a "good mom" as she claims. As I said, a 5-month old with Down's syndrome is not a simple situation (not to mention a soon-to-be-17-year-old mother in the home). If a single mother had a 5-month old with Down's syndrome and 4 other kids, yeah, she probably would be better off staying home collecting welfare. Good thing Palin didn't get any kind of handouts, like a presidential candidate tapping her solely because of her gender, eh?

Obama's children should take precedence over being president. It's a much harder job, and his spouse has a career.

Steve @ bripblap Obama doesn't have a 5-month old with Down's syndrome. I think to be president you have to admit that your children are not, really, your first priority. In all fairness Michelle probably will quit her job if he gets elected.
