President Obama explained his evolution of his stance on
gay-marriage, and how it was influenced by his daughters. "You know, Malia
and Sasha, they have friends whose parents are same-sex couples," Obama
said in the ABC interview in which he made his announcement. "There have been
times where Michelle and I have been sitting around the dinner table and we’re
talking about their friends and their parents and Malia and Sasha, it wouldn’t
dawn on them that somehow their friends’ parents would be treated
differently."
Bristol Palin was not satisfied with the President’s
statement and blamed TV show, Glee, for influencing Obama's daughters' view on
same-sex marriage. Below is the facebook message she posted on the matter.
“While it's great to listen to your kids' ideas, there's
also a time when dads simply need to be dads. In this case, it would've been helpful
for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no
doubt lovely people, that's not a reason to change thousands of years of
thinking about marriage. Or that – as great as her friends may be – we know
that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally,
fathers help shape their kids' worldview.
In this situation, it was the other way around. I guess we
can be glad that Malia and Sasha aren't younger, or perhaps today's press
conference might have been about appointing Dora the Explorer as Attorney
General because of her success in stopping Swiper the Fox.Sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking. In this case, it would've been nice if the President would've been an actual leader and helped shape their thoughts instead of merely reflecting what many teenagers think after one too many episodes of Glee.” – Bristol Palin, May 10, 2012
Palin's comment made many people react. JWow, from reality TV show The Jersey Shore, tweeted "Bristol should keep her uneducated ignorant mouth shut. If Ur living in the past u wouldn't have a kid w/out marriage #hypocrite. It's 2012!"
