The View

Did anyone watch the view Monday morning, well I did and I am usually not a fan of the view but happen to have the television on that station. I heard Barbara Walters whom I always looked to as a very smart women every since she was on 20/20 and one of what I consider the first women into journalism. She carried on about how they say women can not be in politics and raise a family too and she began naming off these women that were or are in politics and either do not have a husband or children or if they had a husband they eventually divorced. Well I was shock to hear out of Barbara's mouth how Sarah Palin, let me say this again Sarah Palin manage to do it with no problem at all. Now correct me if I am wrong did not Sarah Palin who is in politics have a teenage daughter that had a baby. She may have had a family but some where in between her political life she forgot to take care of or look after her children.As a woman I have to admit if you go into politics it would be very hard to raise a family and try to run behind a career in politics. When you are in politics most of your time will be away from home so the children or the husband will be getting neglected at some point. I work a 12hr shift and I feel guilty when I do get home and do not have enough time to spend with my family or understanding what is going on in my children schools or the friends they have. I remember someone even talking about Sarah possibly letting her daughters boyfriend stay at the house at one point. This is very much possible because I know of some people who has let their daughters boyfriend move in thinking that they can keep a closer eye when they are in the same house. I really want to know what was Barbara thinking when she said this and I started to began thinking that the women I have admired for so many years is herself getting older and may be getting senile. I still like Barbara but lately a lot of her views are old fashion and like they say out with the old and in with the new, maybe we should get some younger host on the view with a variety of opinions and not ones like, whats her name from a reality show who grew up with a perfect world syndrome.Survivor.
