Mr. President, When Should I Expect Your Call?

Are you kidding me or What?????

Obama for all practical purposes is encouraging this type of behavior ( against Republicans )

You totally missed the point! Obama phoned the woman who was called a slut by Limbaugh, so Bristol is asking where the consistancy is in calling her or in speaking to the press about the horrible nature of what is all said about conservative women. He does have a responsibility to not be so blatenly obvious about who he gives a crap about.

Um….the Fluke woman was insulted by Limbaugh and Obama called her to commiserate. Bristol is just asking why no call call for her. See? Its so simple. But then apparently so are you.

Canadian Observer: please go back and carefully read the first sentence in Bristol’s open letter and maybe you will understand why she’s writing to the President. The parallel between Sandra Fluke/Rush Limbaugh and Bristol Palin/Bill Maher mean nothing to you?

Bristol, great statement! I have never been a supporter or admirer, for no specific reason, but now I think I will check what you have to say more often.

Hey, isn’t testifying on camera before a mock Congressional hearing “presenting yourself in the public arena”? That’s what Sandra Fluke did, and Limbaugh’s shot at her evoked President Obama’s very public concern and condemnation. I fail to see a meaningful distinction between the two.

Truth to power, Bristol. You go, Girl.

This man is a user. He stands above the frey and allows his surrogates to demonize and destroy. You bet he condones it, all the while standing back claiming “I didn’t do it, I didn’t say it.” Good for her and keep it coming.

You freaking idiot, do you not get what she is trying to convey to our president?, do you not see the hypocracy that exist in the MSM and you?. The president only does things that is going to get him re-elected and not stand up for all of us.

President Obama did not insult Sandra Fluke, either, yet he still felt compelled to give her a call. What exactly is your point? Because it is not apparent from your post.

Obama didn’t insult Fluke either. And Fluke deliberately put herself in the public arena with her voluntary testimony before Pelosi’s little confab.

Finally, although he has no control over donates to the PAC, he can control whose money it keeps.

How about a little consistency.

Oh, stop. The man is a hypocrite. Embrace the suck already.

Canadian Observer, are you kidding us or what? Obama apologized to Fluke after someone else’s comment, not his own. Bristol’s response is entirely consistent and right on target.

You are joking, right? First of all, Obama called Fluke because of what someone else said, not anything he said. Second, of course Obama can control who gives money to his PAC. All he has to do is direct them to return it.

Her response is appropriately directed to the President of all Americans in response to his defense of speech against liberal women from his base but, silence for the rest of us.
It has nothing to do with protection of women but, rather his agenda.
Whether his daughters are able to do well in life is yet unknown but, I pray they live up to every advantage they’ve been given and live well and happy and fulfilling lives.
I too choose life over abortion as a teenager and I’m glad I did and proud of Ms. Palin for making the best of her situation.
It isn’t my place to judge anyone else’s choices and I wish the government would get out of it too because I feel their investment is actually population control.

RE: Canadian Observer

“Bristol, . . . since it was not President Obama who insulted you, don’t you think your letter should have been addressed to the person who did?”

It was not President Obama who insulted Sandra Fluke, either, but he wasted no time calling her to make sure she was okay. Bristol is, as she writes, just asking for a little consistency.

You missed the entire point of her letter. Well done.

Obama didn’t insult Bristol.

Nor did he insult Fluke.

But only one warranted a courtesy call out of concern for his daughters.

It’s only difficult to understand if you’re in deep, genuflection with blood rushing to your head.

If it’s too hard, you may want to wrap your head around something a little more apparent to the naked eye:

This entire episode is ANOTHER Potemkin village of phony outrage.

President Obama didn’t insult Sandra Fluke either, yet felt the need to call her in the midst of a highly charged political debate. Plus, do you really think Bill Maher’s going to respond in a constructive way to Bristol’s sentiments when he’s spent a fair amount of time making excuses for his “approach?”

I think Bristol’s making the observation that politics is coloring the opinions of people in regard to this sort of vulgar speech, and too many on the left are making excuses for their guys, while condemning those on the right. Limbaugh said some stupid things and was right to apologize. The Palins are still waiting for Maher’s apology.

Excusing vulgar attacks on the children of politicians because their family is in the public eye is simply excusing vulgar attacks on children. If someone said something like that about the President’s daughters, at whatever age, they’d be way out of line.

And while the President can’t control Super PAC donations, he can publicly state that he thinks donations from people who engage in such vulgarities should be off limits.

“I don’t think the President has any control over who donates to his SuperPAC.”

– True – but he does have control over keeping or returning the money. In the very least I would think he could make a public statement calling Maher & others out by name condemning their words.
He won’t though – he obeys his handlers…those with the big deep pockets. He is just the puppet & does not have the Rod of a backbone that Biden speaks of. He has the same morals & beliefs that Maher has.

I declare you a TROLL! Move along, everybody. Nothing to see or respond to here.

It wasn’t President Obama who insulted Sandra Fluke either, but he still called her. I believe that was one of the main points Bristol was trying to make. Likewise, Sandra Fluke also presented herself in the public arena….

It wasn’t the president who insulted Ms. Fluke either, yet he felt a need to call her. Fairness seen very differently by this president depending on political leanings. Hmmm…

Canadian, I guess you missed the point entirely. Obama did not insult Fluk, either, yet he took it apon himself to call her and feel sorry for her, yet not for more vilely attacked conservative women. THAT is the thrust of the letter, THAT is why it is addressed to comrade President.

How about you Canadians just STFU. Your opinions are meaningless. You already bend over for the Sharia. If not for us your useless country would just fade away. Next time you feel the urge to open your Pie Hole stuff it with that ham you call “Canadian Bacon”. Stay out of our politics. In fact stay out of our country you all drive like idiots.

Obama was not the one who called Sandra Fluke a slut, but Obama called Sandra Fluke to cheer her up or whatever, so right there your whole premise falls flat.

Obama had nothing to do with the Fluke nonsense either, and yet he called and inserted himself into that situation.

So, quite simply, if the things matter to him that he says matter, should he not call Bristol also?

She didn’t present herself to the open public, nor have Obama’s daughter. She was a teenager when all this happened and she was dragged in very derogatory ways through the abyss of mud, because she dared to be the child of a politician. The comments that many on the left have said about Trigg makes my skin crawl, I don’t care their politics there is NEVER an excuse to make vile threatening and disgusting comments about a disabled child.

The double standard is obvious and shows just how low this “president” really is.

Uh … you are totally missing the analogy, how is that possible?

I believe the point of this post is to point out that Limbaugh (an extreme conservative), insulted a woman but the President felt the need to call her and show her support. Bill Maher, who is a HUGE supporter to Obama has repeatedly insulted the Palin Family, particularly Bristol, but there has been no phone call to show her support. You are missing the point of the post if you think she needs to write a letter to Bill Maher.

And it wasn’t Obama who made the comment about Sandra Fluke but it WAS the President who called her and made it a point to tell the country that he did so at a press conference. You have no point in what you say. Ms Fluke is a liberal activist who aggressively pursued her cause (as we all have the right to stand up and speak out on something we feel passionately about) and, like it or not, put herself in the public arena. No one forced her to do this. After she had gotten the attention of one of our members of Congress, why did she not ask to retain anonymity with her testimony and put it in writing where Minority Leader Pelosi could have presented it to the Congress with their full attention? Ms Fluke is 30 yrs old and obviously an intelligent young woman (Georgetown Law School doesn’t accept those who are not) and no one believes that she is that naive to think that she would go completely unnoticed while wading into a controversial issue. Bristol was only a teenager when she was made the target of even more disparaging comments and she didn’t say a word. As a 29 yr old woman myself, I know there is quite a bit of maturing that one goes through in their 20s.
Also, I take quite a bit of offense at the classification of Bill Maher as a “comedian”. A comedian is someone that is funny and entertaining. By granting him that title, you are qualifying the comments he makes as being just that, funny and entertaining, which I find just as disturbing as he is.

“Yes, a bold statement indeed, Bristol, but since it was not President Obama who insulted you, don’t you think your letter should have been addressed to the person who did?”

You’re not paying attention. Obama apologized for Limbaugh’s behavior, even though he obviously had no control over that, either. That’s the whole point.

YOu must be a liberal troll. The reason she was asking for a call was because Sandra Fluke got a call from him and he was not the one insulting her. But since it fits your need to vent your vile Liberal BS, we will just assume you cannot see such a simple correlation due to your idiocy or your Liberal bias. Which is it. Foolish statement you just made.

Barry can let his PAC {that he previously said he would not use} know that he wants the money returned and it surely would be. And,…. yet he does not. All those running this PAC are former W H staffers and I’m reasonably sure Barry’s got their numbers on speed dial. But curiously, no call is yet apparent. To accept this dough is to condone the speech, by not speaking out against it. {Progressives use this ploy so often that it becomes S O P.} She is calling him out and your first sentence just skips right on over This Fact.

Your attempt at the defence of those who attack women because of their political beliefs is beyond pathetic, even if you call him dispicable to make your defense palpable. I suggest you go back to watching Sponge Bob in your Mommy’s basement while the adults talk.

He didn’t call Sandra Fluke any names either, but it appears that, since she was testifying on behalf of something Obama supports, she got presidential support. Liberals are calling for the head of Limbaugh for what he said. Obama called Fluke for what LIMBAUGH said and has publicly criticized him for saying it. He’s completely silent on what has been said about conservative women. Liberals believe in”freedom of speech” provided they say what they think they should be allowed to say.
Bristol Palin is only in the public lime light because her mom ran for public office. She doesn’t deserve those kind of comments. And what about a little boy with Down’s Syndrome? What did HE do wrong?

R U Kidding or just pretending to be???? Why would any GOOD President accept money from such a moron!! He is lacking in any morals and for him to talk that way about ANY female is disgusting and he should not be allowed to keep his job!! I don’t care what your feelings are about the Palins but how could anyone defend or take any money from this so called man?????

Wow. It seems like “Canadian observer’ just doesn’t get it.
Obama called Fluck about a comment made by someone other than himself.

Should he not also call Bristol about a comment made by someone else other than himself and did not Rush also exercise his right to free speach??

I don’t understand you reasoning.

In response to Canadian Observer, Barack Obama wasn’t the one who said those things about Sandra Fluke, either, yet he personally called her. Why the double standard? Oh, and I think that the president has the power and authority to refuse any money.

So by your own logic, what you’re saying here is that because Obama called Fluke, he, Obama, not Rush, was the one who “insulted” Fluke, but because he didn’t insult Palin she shouldn’t expect a call, right? Pick one way or the other, because you can not have it both ways. You are beyond ridiculous. Did you even think about what you where saying before you hit post? Seems you and he both need to take ownership of your stupidity. And the fact that he called Fluke, and together they made the call a publicity stunt is all the proof you should need “that he is actually encouraging this type of behavior against Republicans…”

On a side note, you think maybe Cee Lo dedicated his F U song at the Obama fundraiser to Obama’s daughters? Yeah, the double standards just keep getting piled on. Think about it carefully, hopefully the sick irony of it all will hit you.

It is true that Barack Obama cannot control who donates but he can control whether those funds are kept and being the moral conscience (his own appointment) of the country, he could make a statement, taking a position on the issue.

Canadian Observer: If you are unaware, Rush Limbaugh made the remark about Sandra Fluke but our esteemed president felt the need to reply to that remark that he didn’t make. So, I agree, that if he is going to defend one women, he absolutely should speak out and defend ALL women, Republicans and Liberals! So, if Sandra Fluke decided to put herself in the public arena, then she should be about to get ridiculed as well, if I am understanding you correctly. It shouldn’t just be the Palins! AND, I’m sure the president could return the money…he just needs it!

Canadian Observer:

You are missing the point. Obama telephoned Sandra Fluke to express his sympathy for her having been insulted by Rush Limbaugh. Bristol Palin is pointing out Obama’s extreme hypocrisy in standing up for liberal women who are insulted while saying nothing when conservative women are routinely insulted by his supporters – with even more vile language than was used against Fluke.

Palin admits in her statement that the PAC will not refund Maher’s money but, again, that is not the point.

As far as your comment about being a public person, did not Fluke make herself a public person? Are you saying that it is permissible to say reprehensible things about women who happen to be public figures? If so, then I can let loose with some pretty vile comments about Obama’s angry racist wife and his sham marriage to hide his bisexual proclivities.

Sandra Fluke did not address herself to the President either and it was Rush Limbaugh that called Sandra a slut. But it was the President who called Sandra to tell her that he supported her and stood up for her. He has control over what money comes in for his campaigne. He is not obligated to accept money and should not accept money from Bill Maher, when he condemned Rush for using the same kind of language against another woman. As President, he needs to set standards. He has set his…it is wrong to call a liberal woman a slut, but not a Republican.

He does however have control over who’s money he keeps. I am sure if he got a donation from Syria President Bashar al-Assad he would return the money immediately. At least I hope he would.

obama is bold enough to comment when rush makes comments how about when his supporters insult women reguardless of political party…Obamas problem is he is mad with power…wants to control everything and thinks he can say what he or his representatives want without repercussion..well he may get away with that chicken shit now but his day will come…i believe its in november…however should he happen to win his day will come when he meets the lord….i can only imagine what he would do if anyone talked about his family that way

Canadian Observer. Her comments were very appropriately directed to the President. He was the one who siad he called the other woman, and he was the one who siad it was unfair to treat her this way. Where is his concern for ALL women? Very Well stated, and correctly directed. Methinks thuo doth speaketh out of turn. Try Canadian Politics.

No, she addressed this to the right individual.
It was Obama, after all, who called Fluke after someone else ‘insulted’ her, so why should he not call here? Sadly, most on the left don’t understand just how bitter and meanspirited, and vulgar, they can be. Maher himself explained that it was alright for him to call Palin a C**t, for she had called others “unAmerican” and terrorists”…? and that shows the typical mindest of the bunch. It’s perfectly okay to talk about BushHitler, openly talk about killing him and others on the right, and hang Sarah Palin in effegy, but refer to them in a darogatory manner and they raise heck. Just look at the term ‘teabagger’ which they constantly spew toward anybody on the right. The left is an ugly bunch who can dish it out, but can rarely take it when it rarely comes back at them.
No, she addressed this to the right person.

He has time to call liberals who have been maligned and I believe that he does have control over whose money he accepts.

I don’t think you read the article or you would have realized she was well aware Obama didn’t make the comment but he did call Sandra to apologize for the way she was treated by Rush.
Perhaps you should go back and read it again.
G’luck.

Dear Canadian Observer-

The president did not call Ms. Fluke a slut either but he felt the need to call her and apologize for this awful person (A republican) making such a comment so offensive to women. Yet he accepts a million dollars from Mr. Maher (A liberal) with no comment about the poor statements he has made. It wasnt really about the phone call. It was get off the fence and stand behind your statement. You can not comment on some ones race or religion in this country but it is still ok to to degrade women publicly.

dear canadian observer, you were not very observant in reading what bristol was talking about. she was referring to obama’s decission to make personal contact and apologies to one woman who was verbally attacked for standing up for her opinion yet he was lacking extending her personal contact for the same thing when verbally attacked for standing up for her opinion. he is lacking in consistancy. bill mahr and rush limbaugh are both lacking in class but that is besides the point. they will continue to make attacks as they see fit no matter if the victim is a public personia or not. if obama can feel so compailed to pick up a phone to call sarah and commend her on standing on her principles then he can do the same with bristol for standing on hers.

Obama apologized to Fluke for what Maher said — why not to Bristol??????? What Maher SAYS all the time is so wrong it’s pathetic!

It wasn’t Obama who insulted Fluke either, so why do you think Bristol is wrong. Oh yes, she is a conservitave. I have to remember, the rules only run one way for liberals.

It is people like you, intellectually bankrupt, that could only explain it in that way.

He certainly can refuse the monies Bill Mahr sent to him, and he most definitely should have done so. It has usually been the practice of media to protect the innocent when reporting, but they have no conscience or morals anymore.

You’ve missed the point…Obama called Sandra Fluke to apologize for Rush Limbaughs remark…He NEVER did the same thing for Bristol when Mahr made his remarks….I think you need to re-read the first paragraph where it clearly explains this.

Yes, the Prez has the ability to control super pacs from his side. it’s called management, and he should have booted them out already.
Go get ‘em, girl..

And it wasn’t the president who made the comments obout the Fluke woman but he called her anyway. Oh wait it was a conservative radio person. That’s so different…Not

He sure as hell does have control. It was a despicable move by a low despicable man.

Obama wasn’t the one who insulted Fluke, yet he called her anyhow, which is Bristol’s point. She is totally consistent here. Obama ought to call her and he ought to condemn Maher’s remarks since Maher is such a large donor to Obama’s campaign.

Mr Obama did not “insult” Ms. Fluke, either- yet he called her to be sure the evil words spoken did not damage her 30 yr. old activist “student” sensibilities. Perhaps you might read the post, not just the replies, before you spout off.

OBAMA CALLED FLUKE , WHY NOT BRISTOL ?

Canadian Observer: It wasn’t President Obama who insulted Sandra Fluke either, yet he called her. Plus trying to talk to Bill Maher is like talking to the wall. You won’t get anywhere. He will just have more lude things to say, so what’s the point. He will have to answer to his Maker eventually.

I do agree with you on Maher exercising his right to free speech and that he is a dispicable person. Also, I agree that the President doesn’t have control over who donates, but he doesn’t have contol to accept the money or not on grounds of trying to set a good example for higher moral principles.

If Obama had any backbone and morals, he would either give the money back. Or better yet he could give the money to a charity like ARC or March of Dimes or something along those lines. But we all know that would never happen!

“…since it was not President Obama who insulted you, don’t you think your letter should have been addressed to the person who did?”

Since it was not Barry 0 who “insulted” a woman who was a self-admited slut, shouldn’t Barry 0 have called Rush? The point that you deliberately chose to ignore is that Barry 0 will rush to “support” women who are rightly called on their behavior while ignoring those who are deliberately insulted and belittled. Are you really that stupid, or do you just like to act like you are?

“…when you present yourself in the public arena you become a target…” Then Fluke was a fair target. So why was she given special consideration by Barry 0?

“I don’t think the President has any control over who donates to his SuperPAC.”

Wrong. It’s called returning the money. Lib’s love to demand that conservatives do it but just can’t seem to give the money back when it’s in their pocket.

It wasnt obama that insulted Fluke either, but he called her, but Like obama asked I will judge him by his friends, including those that make million dollar donations, that obama could tell the pac to give back, but wont. He is the president of double standards.

Obama wasn’t the person who insulted Fluke, either. He took up the mantle of the protector of the insulted. Shouldn’t he step up to protect a person insulted by a major contributor to his campaign?

Canadian Observer, it seems you were so quick to find fault with Bristol that you completely missed the point. See, President Obama didn’t call Sandra Fluke a slut, either, did he? Yet he felt the need to phone her and offer a generic apology. That’s all Bristol is asking for here, and HER point is that if he’s going to call for civility toward one person – who incidentally put herself into the public eye on purpose, whereas Bristol had no choice about being Sara Palin’s daughter – he should be extending it toward all who have been similarly insulted. I don’t know, maybe you didn’t really read her blog, but only saw what you wanted to see. How silly. I know a lot of Canadians, and none of them are THAT blind. Gotta wonder if you have some kind of agenda, or just don’t know how to read very well.

BHO called Fluke to apologize and he wasn’t the one who denigrated her. Ms. Fluke, also, presented herself in the public arena. I don’t see any difference between the two situations, whatsoever. Except, that one is a liberal woman, the other is the daughter of a conservative Republican.

You missed the point dude.

Bristol is not asking or blaming the president anything other than to treat each woman equal. You can’t get all up in arms about Rush calling a woman a slut and yet turn a blind eye to what Mahr has been doing to conservative women for years. Just as Ms. Fluke presented herself to the public she then is also target for these folks you seem to be defending. Works both way. Yeah Bristol amazing piece! I’ve shared with everyone. All of God’s love, mercy and grace to you and your entire family. Thank you for being a light in a very dark world.

I thought this was a great post by Ms. Palin & very appropriate. President Obama called Ms. Fluke even though he wasn’t the one who insulted her, and he has no connections with the person who DID insult her. I would think that, if he felt that strongly about calling Ms. Fluke, he would feel an even stronger need to call Ms. Palin, in order to be an example by supporting her against one of his own financial backers.

Sure he has control over who contributes to his Super PAC. If it’s objectionable, then just send the money back. Show everybody you can’t be bought or your name denigrated. It’s that easy.

I’m sure the breeze did not even disturb you hair in the least as it passed very far over your head!Obama made the statment about Limbaugh to show his daughters his humanitarian side,and his appreciation of women,but will not stand for equality in all women!He is two faced,and a liar!People with no concept of other intelligent live outside your little world is responsible for the slow distruction of our Glorious Nation!Please,Please,get a clue before it is too late!

Canadian Observer, you don’t seem to have been paying attention to what has been going on so let me set you straight on a couple things, first off, it was not Obama that insulted Ms. Fluke either but still Obama felt it his duty as a father, as well as president to give her a call, he did not however feel compelled to call Bristol even though the comments about her were more numerous and much worse in nature and were made by a major contributer to his campain. I’d also like to point out that Ms. Fluke also presented herself to the public, so using your logic she should have expected such comments and should not be offended by what Rush said but should have accepted such comment. As for your thinking that maybe Obama has no control over who donates to his campain, he certainly has the authority to except a donation or not, Obama seems to do just about anything he wants even if it means ignoring a fedral judges rulling or going against the constitution of the United States. If he was genuinely concerned about such comments, he could still return the million bucks, I suspect Obama would do just about anything for a million bucks to help him get reelected. One last thought,let us Americans worry about our own affairs, you worry about what goes on in Canada.

“…since it was not President Obama who insulted you, don’t you think your letter should have been addressed to the person who did?”

No, because at the moment the issue isn’t the insult itself, it’s the reprehensible (and transparent) double-standard that the President is employing.

“….sad fact is when you present yourself in the public arena you become a target for these folks”

Now here’s a funny thing about that: Bristol Palin never presented herself as a public figure, it was her mother who governed Alaska and ran for Vice President. By contrast Ms. Fluke is a full grown adult and seasoned political activist who very much did make herself a public figure by agreeing to star in that little bit of performance art and pretending to speak before Congress.

So by either of the standards you offer Bristol was wronged more severely and by parties closer to the President than Fluke was by Limbaugh. But Obama won’t be calling any of the Palins because Bristol’s basic point is correct: Obama only considers himself to be President of the people who support him. The rest of us are enemies to be fought by all means fair or foul.

Canadian observer, President Obama didn’t insult Miss Fluke either. Yet, he called her because Limbaugh called her a slut. Bristol Palin’s point, which you do not seem to get, is that Mr. Maher made far more grievous insults toward Bristol Palin, her mother and her family. If President Obama is the president of us all, should he not also be moved to action by Mr. Maher’s behavior?

The President didn’t insult Sandra Fluke either, but he called her.

Fluke put herself in the public eye, too. But somehow, I guess since she’s liberal, we weren’t supposed to act like it.

With complacent friends like you, who needs enemies?

Did you even read the first part of this letter? And, yes, Mr. Obama could return the money. He is, after all, the man in charge. Right?

Wait, you obviously didn’t get the gist of what she was saying. Her point is Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a ‘slut,’ and President Obama called her personally to tell her he stood behind her and made a public statement regarding the issue. Yet when Bill Maher made his disgusting remarks about Bristol Palin, the President was silent, and still has been, no phone call, no public statement condemning Maher’s remarks. So basically, either Obama should be consistent and call Bristol, too, or stay silent and not get involved in Sandra Fluke’s issue with Rush Limbaugh.

Try reading the open letter again. She never said the President insulted her.. She is saying that if the President feels the need to call Fluke for remarks made about her from a Conservative Talk Show Host, then why hasn’t he called Bristol over remarks made about her from a Liberal Talk Show host… She’s asking for consistency… And if he asked the SuperPac to return the money, they would.

Did you even read the letter? She makes it pretty clear why the letter is addressed to the President.

And, when you agree to appear before a charade Congressional hearing (because it wasn’t an actual Congressional hearing) with the cameras rolling, doesn’t that make you a participant in the public arena?

Please, man, use some sense.

Dear Canadian Observer – While part of your statment is true, Bristol’s comment points out that the President called Sandra Fluke based on what Rush Limbaugh said and why? He didn’t say it? So if he’s going to respond to that, why is he not apologizing for what Bill Mahr said about her and her family? Why is he only apologizing to liberals for what conservatives say? Is he afraid if he does the right thing and apologizes to a conservative for what a liberal says that Bill Mahr will take back his over the top contribution? Her point being – he should stand up for all women not based on their party affiliation, but because it’s the right thing to do.

I think you missed her point, why did the POTUS call Sandra Fluke? Why does he say one thing and do another like call for civility when it is an attack against a Democrat and play golf while the Republicans are under attack by the Unions? Oh, I think I answered my own question. Like she said, we need a President for all Americans not just the Super Pac, the Unions and his lemmings! Wake up, he IS the worst of the worst we have ever had! Oh he speaks eloquently, but so do used car salesmen. The difference between a used car salesman and Candidate Obama? Like Sarah Palin, the salesman is far more qualified for the job. But his mentor Sal Alinsky is laughing wherever he may be.

Bristol’s article was directed to the right person. Obama and the Democrats are hypocrits, and they use any means necessary to ruthlessly attack those who do not share their marxists beliefs. You are correct one on point…Obama does not have control over donors, but he does have control over sending donations back once received.

Bristol did not accuse the president of insulting her. As a young woman, she is asking for the same outrage afforded to Ms. Fluke in response to insults from others. The liberals and their media have very selective sensitivities.

Yes, but he has the power to refuse it, but no liberal Democrat would refuse it , ya think.
Bill Maher is not an entertainer , he is another idiot of the media slime.
Obama never said anything about what he said about the Palins, which is pretty damn nasty. He is a vile, evil person as is the one who is trying to destroy this great country. But, you can’t teach an old dirty dog with no class, bent on eating us alive.

Canadian Observer,

You and I both know she is not asking the President for an apology. She simply points to the hypocrisy that dominates the political arena. Common decency and civility are a long ago notion that once existed in a gentleman’s world. The world we live in now can justify the vile things that are said, about a candidates daughter, just like it can justify lewd remarks made about an activist.

I admire you Bristol for your fortitude and perseverance. You had a very public misstep, you could have gone away, but you chose to stand up and do what is right. The world could learn something from a girl like you. Your child is very lucky to have you as a mother. God Bless you.

Somebody’s confused, and I don’t believe it’s me. Rush Limbaugh said those comments about Sandra Fluke, not Mr. Obama, BUT, Mr. Obama called Sandra Fluke, so, the opinion you expressed defending Mr. Obama’s reason for not calling Bristol doesn’t make sense. If he can call someone because Rush Limbaugh was inappropirate, he could certainly call someone when Bill (nastier than a piece vermon) Maher was and is horribly inappropriate.

Dear Canadian observer:
The President didn’t insult Ms. Fluke either BUT she got a phone call from him….ONLY because she was a Liberal plant for his cause….shame on him for being such a hypocrite!

It wasn’t Obama who insulted Fluke either.

Obama didn’t insult Ms. Fluke either, but he called her and was public about it. I think that’s part of the point.

You posted – “Yes, a bold statement indeed, Bristol, but since it was not President Obama who insulted you, don’t you think your letter should have been addressed to the person who did?”

You missed the whole point, she is calling for the President to be consistent in his support of verbally attacked women, not just those who appeal to his political base.

“I don’t think the President has any control over who donates to his SuperPAC.”

He may not control who gives, but he doesn’t have to keep it.

The president called Sandra Fluke after Limbaugh attacked her; what is the difference? If he can call Sandra Fluke after she was attacked by a conservative, he should be able to pick up the phone and call Bristol Palin after she has been attacked in the VERY same manner by a liberal. That’s why her letter was addressed to the President; addressing it to Maher would be pointless. I’ve never seen a more disrespectful, arrogant human being than what he has become. Except maybe Michael Moore.

President Obama didn’t insult Sandra Fluke, but he gave her a call. (Only because she supports the same Socialist program he does or he wasn’t thinking of Malia and Sasha at the time.)

It wasn’t President Obama that insulted Sandra Fluke but yet he called her anyway!! I don’t see your point, what’s the difference??
You “GO Bristol!!” You’re your Momma’s daughter all the way!!! Good for you!! Loved reading your blog, honey!! Keep up the great work!!

Great point Canada person, but why did the lDemocrat party stand up for Flukes? Why did Obama call HER? Rush is not an elected official. He is an entertainer just llike Bill Maher. And Obama’s SuperPAC is run by one of his staffers. Do you really think he has no control over it?

Obama should have time to apologize. As everyone should now realize, apologizing for bad America is one of his favorite things to do. I agree he needs to apologize to Bristol. Then he can move on to apologizing to the nation for being the worst president ever.

Canadian Observer,

You seem not to understand the basis for Obama’s involvement. Just a few weeks ago, Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a “slut” on his radio show. As a result, President Obama gave Sandra a special phone call (!?!) and Rush is still being crucified for making such a statement. Logically, if Obama could specially sympathize with Sandra and make her feel special while making sure that Rush pays for what he said, why not do the same for conservative women too? After all, Obama is “our” president (liberal, conservative, independent, etc. – i.e. ALL AMERICANS!!!). Instead, Obama seems to be giving Maher a pat on the back by not cautioning him and accepting his $1million donation.

Hr certainly can return the money, especially when it’s very publicly donated by a very public misogynist.

he didn’t insult Sandra Fluke either, but he called her..doesn’t anyone understand double standards & hypocrisy any more?

You wrote”Yes, a bold statement indeed, Bristol, but since it was not President Obama who insulted you, don’t you think your letter should have been addressed to the person who did?
Obama didn’t insult Fluke either, but the point is he called her after someone else supposedly did. (I was listening to the radio show and what I heard was the host ask, paraphrased, what do you call someone who has sex so many times she need $3,000 a year to pay for protection and expects someone to pay for it?) Admittedly I have to work for a living, so I could not sit on my Maher and listen to the whole show.

I, I , IIIIIIIIIIIIII liked it.

Two comments….

First, “In the moment”….Obama DID chastise commentators at the moment when they unfairly and grossly attacked the Palin family…hard enough? A matter of judgement.
Me, I can’t stand Bill Mahr, so I deny him my viewership.

Second, About the Main issue at the heart of Rush’s comments…he was wrong about the Church’s right to deny coverage for contraceptives in the situation as posed by Ms. Fluke’s friend. The Church has every right to hold an opinion against contraceptives….but NOT to deny URGENTLY medically-needed contraceptives TO THEIR EMPLOYEES when prescribed by a Doctor. They are in that case acting as EMPLOYERS, and they cannot say they will ONLY cover medical treatment that agrees with their Beliefs. That would lead to them denying an abortion in cases where carrying a baby to term might kill BOTH mother and baby.
THAT ABORTION SITUATION ACTUALLY HAPPENED! A Nun who approved a medically needed abortion to save the mother….was Ex-Communicated.

When the PAC was formed by 2 people who were in his Administration, yes he does have control.

You, apparently miss the point. It wasn’t Obama that Rush insulted yet he chose to come to the defense of Fluke, the congered up Activist with affiliations to Pelosi’s PR Company. With that said, there is clearly a different set of standards by the left and Obama has chosen sides.

You are exactly right Canadian Observer! Bristol even admitted in her own blog that President Obama defended her when the left was attacking her and her mom in ’08. How can he defend you and your mom from harsh political attacks from his own base and be a hypocrite at the same time? Please explain that one to me? Bristol, and I say this with much respect to you and your mom, but you both still sound like sore losers. Obama is too smart. Just move on.

You guys with the “Obama didn’t insult you…..” line just aren’t paying attention.

Bill O’Reilly insulted Fluke after she demanded we all pay for her contraception. In a giant display of manufactured outrage, the professional left tried to crucify O’Reilly. Obama did his part in whipping up more fake outrage by calling Fluke to tell her, “everything is going to be all right. That mean man won’t bother you anymore. My attack dogs are after him now.”

Now, why hasn’t Obama done the same thing for Bristol? Where is the left’s outrage for those who make absolutely disgusting comments about Bristol? Oh, yeah, it’s not there, and Obama won’t be calling to tell her everything is going to be all right because liberals only manufacture outrage whenever they can turn it into a usable crisis.

So, those of you who are saying that Obama didn’t insult Bristol are absolutely correct, but also absolutely out of the argument. There’s just no way you guys can honestly say you are so lost that you don’t even understand the argument. It’s pretty cut and dried.

Mr. Obama did not make the remarks about Sandra Fluke, either, but he felt he needed to speak up. Bristol makes an excellent point, which you side-stepped. Sandra Fluke’s denigrator apologized, but will Maher? Not yet, and he’s had a long time to do so. Shame on you!

Maybe it is the facts that you are missing.

Obama called Sandra Fluke because she was “insulted” by Rush Limbaugh, but he would not call Bristol or Sarah when they are insulted day and night by his goons, Liberal mouthpieces and other creeps.
Do you see the double standards here?

And yes, he controls who donates to his campaign. He should have returned the donation telling Maher that he would not accept it unless Maher apologizes for his offensive and unacceptable remarks. But it seems that Obama favors money over principles.

Bristol’s post went right over your head, didn’t it? You do know that President Obama called Sandra Fluke to console her over Rush’s statement, right? He called her, he said, because he hoped that his daughters would never have to endure such slurs if they ever took a stand on some issue. So Bristol Palin is correct to ask where the consistency is in Mr. Obama’s desire to console women who have been slurred by public figures in the media.

But you knew all that. You just wanted to change the subject to protect your crappy President man-crush. Nice try.

Wow Canadian Observer you called Bill “I’m NOT FUNNY” a Comedian. Wake up maybe it’s that snow and cold weather that is fogging your head. Bill Maher is a Hatemonger NOT a comedian…he stopped that a long time ago when he got messed up with Politics and his LEFTWING crude. He is supposedly for Socialism why doesnt he give that money to poor people instead of some superpac that puts the money back in rich peoples hands. He’s making money in a Country that is a REPUBLIC and NOT a Democracy.

duh! what a comment…

Obama didn’t insult Sandra Fluke either, but he called her to apologize for having to hear what Limbaugh said. This is the same exact situation.

You argument is illogical. Obama didn’t insult Fluke either, but in that case he felt it necessary to personally call her in order to further his own political agenda. Bristol makes a very valid point: if this is all about a “war on women” then all women should be protected from such hateful, sexist rhetoric regardless of political affiliation.

Obama wasn’t the one who insulted Sandra Fluke but he called her anyway. So why did he console Fluke? I know you are probably smart enough to see the double standard here. Especially after using his daughter as the reason he called. I want people to get involved in politic regardless of which party they support. Why was there so much reaction made by the media and a personal consoling from the President for Ms. Fluke while conservative women both in Politics and the media are routinely called vile names with barely a comment from the media. It is a wonder women, especially conservative women, get into politics which is the real reason this is done. Has anyone publicly said anything vile toward the President’s children. I don’t know of any. I mean it was bad enough to direct the vile language to Sarah Palin and her older daughter but they even went after the small kids. This made up moral outage expressed by the left is backfiring big time because the American people can see the hypocrisy. And this hypocrisy will continue to be exploited for what is.

And you seem to imply that once the President’s daughters do get involved to the public arena they can be called vile names with no outage. Somehow I don’t think so.

Did you REALLY miss the entire point of the post, or are you just being provocative? Obama, very publicly, and with great fanfare, placed a call to Ms. Fluke to express his support. This, after she was insulted by someone else (not Obama), but he felt the need to call her nevertheless. So, a call to Bristol (and to her Mom, and to Michelle Bachman, etc, etc) would be right in line with that same attitude. Of course, the point is well made by Bristol that “you’re only willing to defend certain women. You’re only willing to take a moral stand when you know your liberal supporters will stand behind you.” IOW, the same old liberal hypocrisy. As to the SuperPAC, no, he has no control over who gives, but he sure can decide whether to keep the cash or not. Believe me, if it were a Republican being asked to return a donation from a low-life like Maher, you wouldn’t have to ask twice.

Canadian, it was Bristol’s idea to illustrate obama’s hypocracy. Bill maher is not worth wasting any words on.

Well then how is that different from comedian and radio show talk show host, Rush Limbaugh, demeaning Sandra Fluke? and how exactly did Bristol Palin present herself in the public arena when she was attacked by Maher? Her mother was in the public arena–not her. Is it then ok to attack Malia and Sasha since their father is in the public arena? I didn’t think so. You are completely confused.

” don’t you think your letter should have been addressed to the person who did?”

It was addressed to the politician who has benefitted from a million-d0llar donation from the creep in question.

-jcr

I am glad to see ignorance and diva syndrome run in the family. No he will not call you; he is not responsible for what others say. Fluke was doing her civic duty by testifying before congress. What risks have you taken for your country? I mean outside of your mother running for VP. From where I stand if the President did call you he’d verbally destroy your straw man argument (constitutional professor’s are apt to do that. Come back when you’re really ready to have a substantive conversation.

Obama didn’t have anything to do w/Limbaugh, yet he called the ‘victim of the week’ Fluke, anyway. Your argument has a false premise AND makes no sense. BTW, someone who wants others to pay for her ‘extra-curricular activities’ is far less sympathetic than a young lady who works to live with her mistakes and overcome them. Bristol has a job. She supports herself and her son. She didn’t give up when boyfriend ran away. Sandra, however, can’t seem to locate a Planned Parenthood clinic in a phone book, shop for discounted pills, or budget well (Spain???). What kind of a lawyer will she turn out to be, with those research skills?

Canadian Observer,
Saying that Bristol Palin presented herself in the public arena thereby opening herself up for attack is tantamount to saying Sasha and Malia have presented themselves in the public arena. Kids are off limits. Period. All of them, yes, even Conservative kids.
Make no mistake, I defend Maher’s right to free speech. Although I cannot for the life of me, figure out the entertainment or enlightenment value in his loathesome format while he cowardly hides behind the apronstrings of “comedy”.
And as far as the President weighing in on this Fluke episode, in his own immortal words, “he behaved stupidly”.
If President Hypocrite doesn’t have any control over who donates, he clearly should just stop opining on leading by example and calling for civility. Walk the walk or don’t talk the talk.
BTW, Bristol, brilliantly and articulately spoken. You have a lot of your mother in you.

Canadian Observer – with all due respect, you may want to work on your reading comprehension and then re-read the article, with a more open mind. After all, the point of the post was that BO called Ms. F after someone (else) insulted (insluted ?!) her.

He may not have any control over ho donates but he surely has the right to accept it. If he had any integrity he would return it.

you just don’t get it.

you miss the point.. Pres Obama’s hypocrisy is typical of the political left and the fact that he’d play the victim card for Fluke and call her to ‘see how she is’, yet ignore much harsher vile language and actions towards other female public figures belies the fact that it’s political, phony, and feigned integrity.

The President wasn’t the one who insulted Sandra Fluke yet he felt compelled to call her. I think Bristol does a nice job of showing what a hypocrite and political opportunist Obama is here. I’m sure she’s not waiting for his call.

The Canadian Observer has obviously missed a good part of this story. He or she needs to revisit and see if he or she gets the point. The president already has a bad reputation from his first campaign of taking tainted money, nothing new there. He has been hanging out with undesirables for many years. He does, however, need to put his money where his mouth is. In case Canada doesn’t know what that statement means it means if he is broadcasting to the public that he believes in protecting and uplifting women that means all women, not just a selective few….

Hmm.. but it wasn’t the president who insulted the other lady either, but he called her anyway. Consistency… is that too much to ask of the President of the United States?????

Puh-lease. The Palins are the Kardashians of politics.

Now that I could have not said better!!

He spoke out once, in a politically expedience situation. His absolute refusal to speak out when the target is a conservative woman or member of her family SINCE being President shows his true stripes. Speaking out once to defend Bristol from public attacks three and a half years ago, during a campaign, when such demonstrations are politically expedient, and never again speaking to defend a conservative woman since the election demonstrates exactly how much appropriate treatment of women really means to him.

This article is challenging him to hold up the same standards today for all women that he always holds for liberal women and only holds for conservatives when it is politically expedient. Even more, what people like you seem to ignore in this message is that Bristol clearly addresses his action during the campaign, which she appreciated, but was very short-lived. He gives no consideration to things said by his supporters (and people he supports) that are as bad, in some cases even worse, than what Limbaugh said. At the same time, he inserted himself into the situation to publicly defend Fluke, but will not publicly defend a conservative woman outside occasions where it is politically expedient.

One politically-expedient outburst means nothing if he remains silent the rest of the time, which he has.

Please do not put Rush Limbaugh in the same category as Bill Maher. If you truly listened to RL, you might just learn something. Better yet , listen to Mark Levine, he really tells it like it is. However, you can not fix stupid.
Fight, I am watching this ideologic moron Obama closer than you. Why did he skirt the pipeline issue. He sent all the oil from Canada into the hands of China. Great and now he wants to tap into our reserves. Real intelligent , ya think. When that is gone and we can not drill, where the hell do you think we are going to get our oil. I am sick and tired of idiots thinking this guy is the second coming of Christ. He is Nostradomis for sure. Not fighting , just saying it like it is. Your freedom you can thank a vet . If you do not think the armies are not already in place, just google Falon Gong. They come here under the guise of persecution. I live in a town that has them and takes big chunks of land off the tax rolls and call themselves Buddists. Just a play on words to get their way, just like the rest and we sit and conjure up BS about the Palins .
I would walk beside any of the Palins any time any where. They are the real deal!

Liberal Fascism 101: hate, attack, blame, lie, deny

Just can’t help yourself can you “coco”? You’re so indoctrinated you NEED to hate. You’re programmed to hate and attack. You’re a good Little Eichmann.

It is funny to watch one person come in here and blame Bristol for now promoting abstinence even though she violated that principle previously. And now we have a another Palin hater in here promoting abstinence for Bristol. huh. Irrational much? Girl can’t do anything right. Essentially she’s told to be abstinent, and then told she’s a hypocrite if she agrees with abstinence.

I agree Jean…..

Nate is here from the liberal damage control team, they now know they got set up by Rush.

Both Rush and Maher does comedy and politics.

They try to obfuscated that. Rush set a trap for them.

Maher doesn’t have a mother – he crawled out from under some rock.

Rush says constantly that he illustrates absurdity by being absurd. He has acknowledged that hr went too far in the Sandra Fluke affair and apologized. That makes him far more of a class act than Bill Maher or Keith Olbermann, neither of whom have apologized to the conservative women they have insulted. Throw in Ed Schults, who has called both Palin and Laura Ingraham “slutty.”

Because he supports Bristol does not automatically equate to his being a Christian…

Hey Dyzzy! Why don’t YOU learn the definition fo “vetting”, as Gary used it correctly. Oh, and while you’re at it, learn the difference between the letter “o” and the letter “m”. (hint “Mkay” is not a word . . . )

What kookaid would that be. Truth? Are you really so fleeced by the media to believe the bilge that they spew daily in defense of an indefensible president? Have you ever even tried to understand that people are influenced and act on the way that they are raised or trained? Do you really believe that Mr Obama is a center right president? Are you really that foolish? Who is drinking the KoolAid here? Have you not studied Mr. Obamas own words and actions? Did he not say that the constitution was “fundamementally flawed”? When you say stuff like that are you not saying the the founding document of our nation was wrong from its very fundamentals? Did he not say that he desires to “fundamentally change” the U.S.? Did he not say that he wants to “remake” the U.S.? When you have this world view that the U.S. Is flawed all the way back to its very basis of creation and that the “constitution… is a set of negative liberties”. that limit the government and that this is what is wrong with the constitution. Is it drinking Koolaid to take a man at his word when he says that he “sought out Marxist Professors” That he wants to “spread the wealth” or when he touts class warfare rhetoric at every turn actually creating an atmosphere of hate, anger and violence against those who are either somewhat wealthy “250K “a year or more or when he encourages his Obamatons to get in the faces of those who disgree with his quasi-socialist philosophies and to bring a “gun to a knife fight”? Does this really show you are the President of all the people? So I should just ignore his past and how he was raised and mentored by prominent, socialists, communists and radicals as people whose radical views have had absolutely no effect on Mr. Obamas world view? I should just listen to Keith Olbermann and MSNBC, CBS, NBC and ABC to tell me how clearly centrist Mr. Obama is even though every one of his actions indicate he is not even remotely centrist but a hard left radical who desires to nationalize large portions of the economy? I don’t believe it is I who is drinking any Koolaid, I have done my homework to vet this man and I do not like what I found.

Ah see there…I am based in reality and you are espousing opinion and fiction…she never recanted (or started to?)…she had to defend herself from Rush saying she was having so much sex…she never talked about herself…she testified about women’s health needs….and she explained that (explaining to simple people isn’t recanting….)
You just said you STAND by Rush…and you called the President Obummer….you’ve negated yourself from having an intelligent conversation right there…..
ps *perjury….there are online dictionaries…maybe you should spend a little time there….
pps Evaluator? Hi MamaGrizzly I should’ve known it was you…makin up words an all…..

I’m really surprised at the idiots that hide behind a psuedonym to spew hate and lies. It shows they aren’t real men and women, nor have the maturity to be considered an adult. Hiding in your mom’s basement, dressed in your pajamas all day, spewing hate is a real mature way to act…not. But it is what people who don’t have the intelligence to get a job, serve in the military, or for that matter do anything constructive with their lives usually do. Hiding behind that fake name doesn’t make you intelligent or mature. It makes you look like the whimp you are. Personally, I would rather be the type of person who will say on here what I would say to your face, using my own name. Why? Because I don’t fear you at all!

never happened . . . liar

not asking us to pay her for anything? except to buy her crappy ghost-written book full of lies. or bankroll her sad attempts to be a reality TV star.

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and just say you’re mistaken in your information. Otherwise you’d be just another flippin’ liar posting here.

She put her kids out there on the public stage? So did Obama, so do all candidates! You Dems are dirt, that’s the difference. You try to make sure Republicans are too afraid for their families to stand for office.

The Palins are celebrities, not private citizens.

What the hell is “chocolate king” supposed to mean? Race-bait much?
