    A private matter? NO

    "Barack is right. It should be a private matter. But because the GOP is in thrall to the Christian Right, it will not be. Too bad for Bristol."

    However, he is wrong, although he can't say that.

    1) She knew the kid was knocked up, due to her negligence in supervision of this daughter, WHO GOT PREGNANT AT 17.

    2) She concealed that from McCain.

    3) Her lust for power is so strong that she has decided to sacrifice her daughter on the alter of political heat to get the VP.

    This story is relevant because it demonstrates that this woman has such a monstrous lust for power that she is disqualified from the office.
