Sarah Palin's Parental Role Models: Bill and Hillary Clinton

at a time when too many Americans are struggling very hard to pay their current bills, what kind of message is this clinton thing to send to us? Let us eat caake??

Do the family values of each of these families show the difference between "walking the walk" and "talking the talk"?

I'm so happy that Bristol and Levi are giving it a go for the sake of their little son. This happens to many young couples who break up and then realize that they do want to be together and be a family. Good for them! It wouldn't be any different if they were your next door neighbors. They are people who deserve a second chance at life and love. As for Chelsea and Mark (or Marc) those two will have it easy. Money, social standing and acceptance even though they have been living together for two years. They just stayed out of the spotlight. Good luck to both couples.

Wishing the best to both couples as they prepare to start the rest of their lives together.

We seem to want to interject our ideals and ideas into the lives of people we only know from reading about them, seeing them on TV, tuning in on them via the internet, facebook, etc., and some of the words we use are hurtful and detrimental to others. Sarah will do OK with her family and if she doesn't she still has the choice to make. Remember how long it took for the Clintons to recoup from their maritial problem and how long Chelsea had to play the link for the marriage she should not have had play? Leave Sarah Palin's family alone and let them choose their own paths.

Quote: While Judith Martin, aka "Miss Manners," declines to discuss individuals "because it would be rude," she does have a few thoughts about parents who boycott their children's wedding... Unquote.
If it's rude then why do it? But more importantly, you say, "It's rumored that Sarah may not be attending" then you go to great effort to chastise her, writing a whole article as if this spurilous rumour were absolute truth. The fact that Levi himself has caused there to be less than warm fuzzy feelings between him and Bristol's parents, Sarah especially, is well-documented and understood, but I would not for one moment place any bets on Sarah boycotting her daughter's wedding. Not gonna happen. I guarantee it! Miss Manners was right. It is rude to attack an individual's integrity in this way, especially based on unsubstantiated rumours that could never hold up to the light.

Sara does not need lessons from Hillary. She is an intelligent woman that does just fine as a Mother. More ordinary people can relate to Sara than Hillary. She speaks her mind and I believe she is as honest as anyone could be. Many families have gone through the problems of a daughter "having a child out of wedlock" as they used to say. It is so common today for babies to be born to unwed parents it seems accepted as normal. Sara has ample reason to not like Levi because of his own choices. I am sure she will be at the wedding and will smile like she always does. Disliking Levi is no reason to spoil her daughter's wedding day. Good luck to you Sara in any future endevours.

Levi is a cheap shot gold digging liar. The Palin's should be very concerned for their daughter and grandchild. Please stop comparing anyone to or with the Clinton's as Chelsea was the only adult standing with their family values and morals

You can't expect Sarah Palin to take any kind of advice about parenting from Bill and Hillary. AFter all she ran as the GOP darling, you know...the family values party! This would require her to actually admit she's screwed up raising those kids.

Manners over belief. Now if that isn't a liberal attitude I don't know what would be. The Clinton's are hardly the picture of a functional family. Sarah Palin doesn't like her son in law to be and wants her daughter to understand that in no uncertain terms. Finally why is ANY of this anyone's business other than the families involved? This certainly is not news.
