At the beginning of this piece I had the instinctive, uncomfortable reaction that often comes along with reading an older, educated person chewing out the intellectually non-developed.

However, this went away when I read Ms Palin's blog post about Obama listening to his children's views.

Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview.
In this situation, it was the other way around. I guess we can be glad that Malia and Sasha aren’t younger, or perhaps today’s press conference might have been about appointing Dora the Explorer as Attorney General because of her success in stopping Swiper the Fox.

It seems Ms Palin does not share my respect for the notion of only picking on those of your own size.

I am not sticking up for a bully. She deserved this one.
