Regardless of whether or not she believes in learning about condoms, it isn't her fault that her daughter chose to disregard common sense and not use one. Most teenagers, whether informed by a school teacher or not, know and realize that condoms are an important measure in preventing both pregnancy and STDs. Additionally, people seem not to consider the fact that perhaps a condom was used and broke, something not unheard of. For everyone complaining about the "lack of family values", I think her decision to keep the baby not only disproves that notion, but also illustrates a wealth of character and personal resolve. I don't want to get into a pro-life/pro-choice argument, here. Rather, you can simply look to the fact that her mother instilled enough character in the girl for her to make the difficult choice to keep the child and go through ridicule -- both at her school, by her community, and now, by the readers of PerezHilton.com. It would have been easy for Palin to try and cover up her transgressions (much like the Kennedys or the Clintons -- who went so far as to lie under oath, in the case of Bill). Instead, she honestly opened up about the issue and faced it in stride, something that should be taken as a role model for teenage girls and mothers in this family. NOT the opposite.
You might want to check Obama's latest policy, where he firmly stated that reporters should "back off these kinds of stories" AND noted that he was born to an 18 year-old mother.
He then went on to say that "How a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn't be the topic of our politics, and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that's off-limits."
As an avid supporter of Obama, you might want to get yourself informed about his policies -- especially including those that involve the media, which you have become a part of. Although judging by the rest of your posts, the only position that you care about regarding his policies is him being pro-gay marriage.
