Bristol Palin To Obama: Why Didn’t You Call Me — Or Defend Me From Bill Maher?


“Dancing with the Stars” finalist Bristol Palin has been waiting for President Barack Obama to call her for longer than it takes to sit through an elimination episode.

In a post published on her blog Sunday, the 21-year-old said its puzzling that the president phoned Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke with his condolences after conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh called her a “slut” and a “prostitute” on air, but has yet to return his $1 million donation from HBO’s Bill Maher, who dubbed former Alaska governor Sarah Palin the “c” word during  a stand-up act and has joked about Bristol Palin’s teen pregnancy.

Bristol Palin also expressed surprise that the president failed to defend her as he did during the 2008 election. As the product of a young single mother himself, Obama should have some insight into what Bristol Palin has endured, the “Not Afraid of Life” author says:

I’ve always felt you understood my plight more than most because your mom was a teenager. That’s why you stood up for me when you were campaigning against Sen. McCain and my mom — you said vicious attacks on me should be off limits.

A lot can happen in four years, and Bristol Palin seems to think the president has veiled or drained any support he ever had for her to please his following:

Yet I wonder if the Presidency has changed you. Now that you’re in office, it seems 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.

Bristol Palin isn’t the first woman on the right to ask Obama why he never picked up the phone to offer his sympathies. In the aftermath of the Limbaugh/Fluke kerfuffle that just can’t seem to shrivel up and die, conservative commentator Laura Ingraham tweeted, “Ed Schultz called me a slut last May…still waiting for Obama’s call.” Sarah Palin also demanded the president give back Maher’s Super PAC contributions. Calling on Obama to condemn all instances of sexism is reasonable, but the president doesn’t have time to reach out to every girl who has ever had misogynistic terms hurled in her direction. This should have been published when the Limbaugh/Fluke debacle was at its height because now people of both sides agree that this particular sexism debate has been drawn out far too long. It would take a lot for Obama to go through with the Palins’ requests, and public inquires won’t bring about that change on his end.

    Guess who created “Bristol’s” blog and actually writes it? Her ghost writer Nancy French who helped Bristol write her failed book “Not Afraid Of Lying”. The first day the blog went up there were comments ALL written by Ms. French. She was outed by some sharp readers of the Immoral Minority blog and who took screen shots. Then French claims it was an accident and tried to cover it all up. It is NOT Bristol’s blog. It’s Nancy French’s blog pretending to be Bristol (not a great idea Sarah using your daughter like this). And now we know another reason why it was created other than to promote Bristol’s reality tv show on Lifetime channel – because Sarah is STILL mad that the President is not having meetings with his staff about when is the best time to call her. He continues to ignore the Palin stalkers. Besides we all know that Bristol who dropped out of high school and got her H.S. “degree” on the computer doesn’t even know all those big words. Bristol why why why do you continue to take mommy’s horrible advise and use you this way after you claim to be all grown up and do your own thinking? And why aren’t waiting for a phone call from Rush Limbaugh using the “R” word after Sarah railed about Trigg being called that?

  • Anonymous

    Bristol, he didn’t call you because he’s a hypocrite, like most liberals on this issue.  By his own admission, he considers anyone who disagrees with him the enemy.  I wouldn’t hold your breath on that call.   He’s too busy filling out his NCAA brackets and attending 6 fundraisers in a day to care about little old you.

    Like you said bristol he defended you and every other child of politicians before
    any name calling stated.Now tell me where was your Father after you were spoken
    of with vile words? Isn’t our Fathers supposed to come to our defense?You and you
    Mother are all ways talking about the Founding Fathers you might want to go find yours
    and ask Whats Up With That (no pun intended SNL) Daddy Todd?

    Why SHOULD the President call self-promoting celebrities Sarah or Bristol? After Sarah tried to ban the “R” word concerning the baby Trigg, why didn’t she demand that Limbaugh call her and apologize for using the “R” word? Oh that’s right, it’s A-Okay if it’s Rush Limbaugh the one using it.

    Kind of like it’s ok to you libs when a liberal attacks a woman and says things 1000 times worse than Rush did.  Hypo, thy name is liberal.

    The difference is Bristol Palin became a public figure and made millions while Sandra Fluke only testified before Congress.

    I am so sick of the Palin females playing the victim. It’s so pathetic.

    So if Rush had called Michelle O a slut instead of Sandra Fluke, the left would’ve left it alone?

    Did Bristol get an apology from her Mom for appearing on Conan and Leno’s shows after they made these jokes?

    “You know who is really, really happy that John McCain did not win last night? The boyfriend of Sarah Palin’s daughter. He doesn’t have to get married now. ‘Whew, thank God!’” –Jay Leno

    “Sarah Palin is going to drop the first puck at the Philadelphia Flyers’ hockey game. Then Palin will spend the rest of the game trying to keep the hockey players out of her daughter’s penalty box.” –Conan O’Brien

    “You know, they’re watching this interview, this is the first time she’s really sat down and talked. Political experts say that during the interview, she did a pretty good job convincing voters that she’s qualified. Yeah, Palin says she has plenty of experience, and that her daughter has a little too much experience.” –Conan O’Brien

    “Did you see Governor Sarah Palin on the cover of Newsweek? Look, she’s holding a shotgun. Holding a shotgun. This picture was taken right after she announced that guy would be marrying her pregnant daughter.” –Jay Leno

    “Experts say — this is interesting — that since Sarah Palin became the vice presidential nominee, there’s been an actual spike in the sales of her style of eyeglasses. Gone way up. Yeah. Yeah, with Palin’s glasses, you’ll be able to see everything, except what the hell your teenage daughter’s up to.” –Conan O’Brien

    “The Republican Convention is under way. The theme for tonight’s Republican Convention is, ‘Who is John McCain?’ Tomorrow night’s theme is, ‘Who forgot to check if the Vice President’s daughter is pregnant?’” –Conan O’Brien

    “It’s true, John McCain’s running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, has revealed that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant. Palin said, ‘We should never have introduced her to John Edwards.’” –Conan O’Brien

    “Governor Palin announced over the weekend that her 17-year-old unmarried daughter is five months pregnant. Oh, boy, you thought John Edwards was in trouble before, now he’s really done it!” –Jay Leno

    And did she ever get an apology from these conservatives and republicans who appeared on Maher’s show:

    Ron Paul – 2/20/09
    Andrew Breitbart – 3/13/09, 9/24/10, 4/29/11

    Bill Frist – 10/9/09, 6/11/10

    Buddy Roemer – 1/20/12
    Dana Rohrabacher – 1/27/12

    Bill Maher is a comedian and Rush is the “leader” of Republicans.  I understand that Bristol doesnt.  She is the hypo by hyping abstinence when she didnt practice it herself.

    The least he could’ve done is have a beer summit with her.  Is she underage?

    Why didn’t Bristol Palin demand that her mother apologize for slandering Levi Johnston?

    You can take the trash out of the trailer….

    Sarah should apoligize to Levi.  He got snatched from the hunting area and taken down to the convention for just being the boyfriend.

    Bristol I can’t believe you would want a terrorist and a radical like the POTUS call you, what would your mother think?

  • Shyla

    Bristol, get over yourself.  The President doesn’t have to call you personally.  When rude comments were made about you both he and Joe Biden said that the candidate’s children were off limits.  If your mother was soooooo insulted by the things said about you by the comedians why then did she repeatedly go on Leno when he so mercilessly made fun of you.

  • Shyla

    Bristol Palin was not villified like Sandra Fluke was.  Whatmore Obama said that the candidate’s children were off limits.  Why do the Palins feel so entitled. Getting knocked up while preaching abstinance does call for ridicule.

    You can believe Obama when he says the kids are off limits, but some of us prefer to go by his action or lack thereof and not by his hollow words.  Afterall, there’s ample evidence to prove he and the truth have a hostile relationship.

    Well, according to most Libs, nothing is Obama’s fault and everything is
    Bush’s fault,,so I guess Libs believe Bush is the reason.

  • Gbrownblaze64

    I’m a divorced male in my 40′s and stand behind the. Palins 100%. I think the president should give back the 1million to Bill Mahre. I think Bill Mahre needs to get off the air! I think he needs to appalagize to the Palins and Obama should encourage it if he wants to set a good example for his daughters!

    So you’re saying that Republicans don’t beleive in civility.

  • Cfreilicher1

    You want to know why he didn’t call you bristol? Because no one gives a shit about you and your teen mom “struggles”. Other teen mothers should be so lucky as you. As for Obama calling fluke, she was just an average woman saying her thoughts and standing up for american women. When limbaugh called her a slut for saying we have a right to birth control he was calling every woman a slut for wanting birth control. And let’s not forget it is the birth control and woman’s rights that are at the center of this whole thing he didn’t call fluke because he was concerned about her feelings alone he did it because he is on our (woman’s) side period.

    Bristol, demonstrating that the apple indeed does not fall far from the tree, seeks the spotlight in order to play the role of the poor, maligned victim and martyr wannabe.  Really Palin clan.  It’s not always about you.

    How is it any better that Rush calls Michelle (Moo-chelle) fat on just about every mention of her? You’re right. It’s not any better than calling her other names…and considering you are trying to make an analogy, when did Maher call Bristol a “slut”. He didn’t. He said that she likes sex, which makes her perfectly normal.

    Ms. Palin – being insulted for doing nothing, is different from being insulted because you have appeared before Congress in support of legislation you support. The only political ideas you have ever publicly stated has involved your mommie.  When you have the honor of addressing Congress, you earn the respect that goes with that honor. Being a reality TV personality, does not garner respect – as your mommie might say – you’re open game.

  • Anonymous

    Yes “theEagle61″… that appears to be the point and very well supported by numerous, verifiable examples.

  • Kaitlyn Marshbanks

    Gbrownblaze64, please do some research before writing. Maher did NOT give the million dollars to President Obama. That’s because he COULDN’T give the million dollars to Obama. Maher gave that million dollars to a PAC!  The Supreme Court (crazily) ruled that corporations, business owners, whoever the heck wants, can give an UNLIMITED amount FOR campaigns, not TO campaigns. Furthermore, according to the Court, candidates CANNOT direct the PACS.  President Obama can’t ”give back” THAT money, because President Obama never GOT that money!

    Btw, Bristol Palin DID get pregnant out-of-wedlock as a teen. In STARK contrast, Sandra Fluke has yet to become a mother, testified before Congress on a crucial issue,  and is in her last year of law school at a prestigious institution! Oh, and Ms. Fluke’s father is a minister!

  • Kaitlyn Marshbanks

    Please. With all those TinFoil Hat- wearing Teapublicans still desperately playing make-believe about a birth certificate? LOLOLOL>OL

  • Kaitlyn Marshbanks

    And Republicans literally made Rush Limbaugh an “Honorary Member of Congress!”  ????!!!!!???? That’s AFTER he called a 12 year-old Chelsea Clinton, “The White House DOG!”

  • Kaitlyn Marshbanks

    President Obama graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law School and wrote books that are so good the spine literally shivers at certain parts!  What  has been “ruining” things is the deliberate, desperate, obstructionist,TREASONOUS attempt by Republicans to try to make this President “fail.”  They got their marching orders from Rash Limpbrain himself, and the only way to stop them and improve things in this country is to VOTE the bums out!  Democrats all the way in 2012!!!! GOBAMA!!!

  • Kaitlyn Marshbanks

    Well, DEMOCRATIC President, Bill Clinton, handed George W. Bush a SURPLUS and a country at Peace.  REPUBLICAN George W. Bush handed President Obama a big deficit and TWO WARS!  There’s no CONTEST.  DEMOCRATS win!

  • Kaitlyn Marshbanks

    No they didn’t. Rash Limpbrain ranted for 3 consecutive DAYS about a woman smart enough to have been chosen to speak before Congress — a minister’s daughter, no less.  And Rush had better be GLAD Ms. Fluke’s father is a preacher.  Some fathers who aren’t men of the cloth might have punched him in the nose by now!

  • Kaitlyn Marshbanks

    “Operative” my heinie.lol  Ms. Fluke is about to graduate from a prestigious Law School. She can see through arguments with which she does not agree.  She clearly has her OWN mind. Her minister father didn’t raise a fool!

  • Kaitlyn Marshbanks

    Michelle Obama has never run for office. And the fact remains that REPUBLICAN Bristol Palin got PREGNANT before she was married.  First Lady Michelle Obama was MARRIED when she gave birth to her first child.  And Ms. Fluke has never been pregnant out of wedlock either.

  • Joyce

    One doesn’t have to be a hypocrite to choose to ignore self-agrandizing insignificant people grasping for their 15 minutes of fame by trying to turn themselves into martyrs.  I had a great deal of sympathy for Bristol while Mommy Dearest was parading her around to the world during Mommy’s failed campaign.  Little Bristol has proved to be almost as attention-seeking as her mother.  By so doing, she has turned herself into a public figure with little reasonable expectation of privacy.  Especially when she constantly points out things the world wouldn’t even know if she didn’t tell.

  • Joyce

    I’ve heard few people say things comparable to, much less worse than that pompous, foul-mouthed druggie. 

    If you are trying to be insulting with the label “liberal,” be advised that I wear it proudly.  I was actually very moderate until the rightwingers moved to the right of Attila the Hun.

  • Joyce

    And there should be a period at the end of the sentence.  Not to mention the fact that the President’s name should be capitalized.

    By the way, Dubya didn’t leave him much to ruin.

  • Beckermand

     Are you kidding!?  we began fighting in Iraq in 1980, and are to this day continuing on with a twenty two year troop presence.  I lost one of my best friends in Iraq when I served while CLINTON was President, I have friends that are still fighting there now.  Here’s the way wars work, we’re there without the title, then the title is created when war funding is needed, then the title is taken away to gain political votes while we continue to fight there, shown exactly by recent events under the Obama administration, which has escalated the number of engaged combat troops overseas but restricting the budget for necessary items such as personal protection equipment.
    Then the surplus, sorry but a reduction in the rate the deficit is increasing is not a surplus.  I know many are trying to change the definition.  But of course, if years into the current President the economic situation is still the fault of his predecessor, would it not then be fact that the deficit increasing again after only three weeks of the Bush administration (before any new economic policies had even been passed)  be the fault of HIS predecessor.
    Personally, I prefer to ignore political parties and focus on the actual policies written and their influences, versus making up a whole new reality that suits a political bubble.  I don’t care that Obama’s a Democrat, I care about how his policies stagnate a recovery to the point that job creation is slower than during the last actual recessionary period, and supports the notion of a 99% versus a 1% that only leads to economic damage to the 100%, as seen by the Occupy protest against the Port of Oakland near my home which resulted in several thousand of the so-called 99% being laid off.  The administration said it was a victory against big business, and yet big business is big by having the largest payroll expense, meaning the most employees that suffer under the anti-business sentiment.  There’s a reason the economy is circular, no financial class can be attacked without  direct and proportional damage to the rest.

  • Beckermand

     Sorry, typo at the beginning.  Continuing with a thirty two year troop presence, not twenty two, mistake on my part.  Our initial combat operations began in February of 1980.
