Clearly Bristol Palin gets her brains from her mom......


Bristol Palin criticized President Barack Obama's decision to restore Mt. McKinley's name to Denali, arguing he should instead be "worrying about the radical jihadists in ISIS."

The president is wrapping up a three-day trip to Alaska to shine the national spotlight on climate change. Palin, however, wrote in a blog post that Obama should instead spend time "check(ing) out our oil fields" or opening "our pipeline" to reduce dependency on oil from the Middle East.

"The President should be worrying about the radical jihadists in ISIS who are gaining land and power everyday as they enslave, rape, and murder their way through the Middle East," Palin wrote Tuesday. "But instead he worries about renaming a mountain."

She continued, "By the way, no one is buying the 'Denali is what the Alaskans have called it for years' line. I’ve never called the mountain Denali .. and neither does anyone I know ... It's Mt. Mckinley (sic) … It always has been and always will be to most of us."

However, at least one person Palin knows has used the native name for North America's highest peak: her mother, former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. ..............(more)

No reason why she can't do both. She's talented just like the rest of her family.

Denali was also the codename the Secret Service used for Palin during the 2008 election.

I am sure she loved being nicknamed "the great one". I bet she bragged about it to everyone she knew - except, of course, Bristol. Bristol has never heard of it before. This is just too funny! Thanks for educating me.

btw - love Pres Obama's name "Renegade", and the names of the first family!

Barack Obama – Renegade
Michelle Obama – Renaissance
Malia Obama – Radiance
Sasha Obama – Rosebud

Some of them are really cool - like Gore's. And some were obviously digs or jokes:

Rose Kennedy – Coppertone
Meghan McCain – Peter Sellers (Peter)
Todd Palin – Driller
Dick Cheney (Under Ford) – Backseat

One of Kerry's daughters got the code name "the hot one" in 2004.

Whatever his opinions may be, he is the only adult in that clan who does not make a career of public foolishness.

...he needs to keep his head down and his mouth shut. Besides, Mistress Sarah will tell him when to speak when she wants to hear what he has to say, and currently she is too enthralled with the sound of her own voice. Not that anything she says ever makes sense, or anything....

He's already taken care of what he wants to do with ISIS. Maybe you'll volunteer for the military, so you can help with that?
