Palin in 2012? ‘It Would Be Awesome,’ Bristol Says
EmailABC News’ Devin Dwyer reports:
Bristol Palin, the daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, said today “it would be awesome” if her mom ran for president and gave an early endorsement of a potential Palin 2012 campaign in a debut appearance on ABC’s “The View.”
“I would love to see that. Definitely, I would” go along with it, she said.
Palin, 19, a paid spokesperson for Candie’s Foundation, appeared on the show as part of a campaign to reduce teenage pregnancies.
She first burst into the national spotlight in September 2008 when at the opening of the Republican National Convention it was announced that she was pregnant at 18 and engaged to her then boyfriend Levi Johnston. The two have since split.
The Palins continue to advocate for abstinence as a solution to the country’s teenage pregnancy problem.
“It’s not just affecting me now; it affects me for my whole life,” Palin said of her choice to have sex, resulting in pregnancy. “It’s not the best situation.”
Palin also tried to dispel the impression that she may have it easy as a single, teenage mom who is part of a famous family.
“I live by myself. I’m out on my own,” she said. “My family is not at my disposal. I’m a single mom.”

It’s a shame this girl is not in college. Studies show the greatest predictor of a child’s future SAT scores is mother’s educational level.

“Palin also tried to dispel the impression that she may have it easy as a single, teenage mom who is part of a famous family.”
PLEASE! She’s way better off than a lot of single teenage mothers! Mommy is a millionaire now remember? I’ll bet there’s hundreds of girls in the same situation that would LOVE to trade places with her. I get so sick of these so called “celebrities” boo hooing about how bad their lives are. Expecting us to feel sorry for them. Some role model!!

lol,,, yes, I would definitely love to see Palin be the Republican nominee in 2012 too… But, would be surprised if she took the pay cut to become President … think she is best at sound bites with her bumper sticker mentality… She wouldn’t last one term, she just couldn’t handle the heat or the job… especially the job… It is so much easier to sit back, criticize and let the money just roll in…

Why should I care what a 19 year old unwed mother thinks? This is NEWS?

You’re right. Sarah baby hasn’t been on any news shows or fox lately

I thought old Sarah’s kids were off limits but we constantly hear about Bristol & Trig, the son in Iraq and the other daughter accused of crimes.
Lord, please, enough of the Palin family!

catman….so what you are telling me is that Palin knows how to “act” like the “rich elitest” she has become (off the backs of those stupid enough to purchase her crap)?

Where has Sarah Palin been?
Well, for one thing she has a speaking engagement almost every day (or night) She is the absolute hottest on the circuit, with thousands of requests, more than she can ever fill.
If you haven’t seen her speaking out on the Oil Spill then you aren’t paying attention. She’s written extensively, and of course, appeared on Fox to talk about it.
Remember, Palin was the CHIEF regulator for the oil, gas and coal industry in Alaska. She helped draft regulations. She is considered one of the nation’s leading voices on energy.
She was also the Chairman of the nation’s Interstate Oil and gas Compact Commission. One of the things she dealt with was exploration safety and spill containment. Again, helped develop policy.
If she was President instead of the punk “community organizer” who has never had a real job in his life, this mess would have been under control from day one.
Why did Obama wait 9 days to respond?
He dropped the ball, and this thing is a LOT bigger problem than it should have been.
Idiot leftists got on Bush for Katrina, and Bush declared the whole Gulf coast a disaster area 2 days before the storm hit!
Obama is a loser a complete and total loser.
Sarah Palin is a leader. I cannot wait until January 20, 2013 when she takes the Oath of Office as the 45th President of the United States. THEN we can finally start seeing this nation get back on it’s feet.

Gary…let me help you out here. Don’t “hold your breath” on her “taking the oath of office”…you won’t be “long for this world” if you do. LOL…LOL

Palin For President
2012 – 2014.5

She wants to step in after Obama fixes everything she couldn’t fix, then take credit for it. Politicians are too focesed on the next election, and the power that comes with it. They are not interested in making America a better nation. They should be supporting the current administration and the problems at hand.

Well….. we all know who Gary obsesses

Gary, palin is one of our leading voices on energy? Lord help us! She may be loud, and easily bought by the oil industry, but she knows nothing.
And her daughter has the same “expert” potential: when asked on the View today what she would say to her pre-pregnant self, she said” I don’t know”. She doesn’t know? And yet she thinks she might be able to help other teens not become teen moms? What does Candies pay her for? Seriously.
Wanna bet that “roommate” of hers is a live in nanny? Yep, just your typical single mom.

Now Bristol has a million dollar tour-oh poor me single mom. No wonder why America is going down the crapper.

Why is anything this Alaskan hypocrite say relevant. She has a millionaire mom who has made her the poster girl for a ridiculous campaign (im talking about the not having)

“Awesome”????? More like AWFUL! Sarah and Bristol are both idiots!

I firmly believe that Palin will become a very good POTUS and I promised you that she won’t quit because she will for life as president of the United States. Majority of the Americans and the Military, the CIA and the police will be behind her back 100%, and by that time the liberals who comprise 20% of the American population will be exiled to Afghanistan and Iran where they can practice freely their liberal leftist principles. :) :P

Priviledge and single mother hood boo hoo.
While she parades to all the hotest events–Bristol did you know that single destitute parents don’t get babysitters.

Also, Sarah the Barracuda president from 2012 to 2012.5

Palin running for president would be a perfect ending to a troublesome problem. Take the list of morons who voted for her and neuter them.
