Terry Gross Asks a Good Question about Sarah Palin

It's not really news that Terry Gross asked a good question. I think we can all agree that she asks good questions (unless you're Gene Simmons or Bill O'Reilly). Anyway, there it was this afternoon. Something like, Sarah Palin is a working mom with a brand new baby who has special needs and another child who is dropping out of school and getting married young because she is a teenager having a baby. Much has been made about this, but Terry's question was, has Sarah Palin supported issues and done anything in her executive position to help people in the same positions as her and those in her family? The answer from the Anchorage reporter: No, not at all. No daycare, no special needs, so teen mom support, no sex ed prevention, etc. etc. etc. I'm not surprised, but I was surprised by the question. I mean, Palin talks this, "I'm just like you," talk but she it doesn't at all mean she will do anything in her position of power to make anything better for you.
