It's a Machiavelli reference.

It's confusing that you admire Sarah Palin because her daughter got pregnant and... she didn't force the kid to marry her daughter? It's not the 1950s. Most parents wouldn't force the boy to marry their daughter. Because she loves her daughter? Mothers are biologically hardwired to love their children, most mammals show affection and protection for their young. These seem less like convictions and more like things anyone and everyone would do. Do you think Obama wouldn't do these things? If one of his daughters became pregnant do you think he would suddenly stop loving her or would force her to get married? Of course not. So, based on that, you should admire Obama. But you seem not to based on some vague accusations of dishonesty.

He's not kept all his campaign promises, but I'll bet you a million bucks that had Palin been elected there's no way she would have kept a lot of hers (based on precedent and her personal history). It's perfectly clear that she was caught red handed lying about the Gravina Island Bridge. She lied about Walt Monegan. She lied about rejecting federal stimulus money. She lied about trade missions to Russia. She lied about the Branchflower Report. She lied about improvising after her prompter had failed during her Canton, Ohio speech. There's a long list somewhere, I'm sure I could find it with a google search. So, if Obama is unprincipled or has a lack of convictions for not keeping some of his campaign promises, by that same measure Sarah Palin should also be found to have a lack of convictions.
