Bristol Palin (18), daughter of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and her fiance Levi Johnston have broken up.  He is also the father of Bristol’s baby, Tripp.  They had planned to get married after they finished high school.  According to reports, they have been apart for weeks.  It’s not reported what broke them up, but they’ve been apart for weeks.  According to the source, their breakup “just happened”.  We all know what that means.  That means that they are keeping the real reason hush hush.  Maybe one of them cheated on the other and they want to keep it quiet. 

Even though Bristol and Levi broke up, he still sees their son.  He wants to be a good father to his son.  I think that’s a good thing that he hasn’t deserted his son.  There aren’t too many men his age who would stay around their children. 

Bristol is moving on with her life.  She is continuing her education and she plans on going to college.  She wants to study nursing in college.  That’s good for her that she still wants to continue with her education while raising her son.

Governor Palin’s family did not have any comments to make about the breakup.  Maybe she’s not really surprised that it happened and she doesn’t want to comment on it.  Perhaps she didn’t approve of their relationship and she doesn’t have anything to say about it.

I am not really all that surprised that Bristol and Levi didn’t stay together.  There are not too many young parents that stay together anymore.  Their relationship was in the public eye so that didn’t help their situation.  Maybe they couldn’t handle the public being in their business and they decided to call it quits.  I wish them the best of luck and hope that they will both be there for their son.

George Obama, the half-brother of President Barack Obama, was arrested on January 31, 2009.  He was arrested for alleged possession of marijuana near his home in a Nairobi shantytown.  George had one joint of marijuana when he was arrested.  He has a court appearance on February 2, 2009.

George is in his 20s and he barely knows Barack.  The two have the same father who died in a car crash in 1982.  While many of Barack’s family were at his inauguration in Washington, George was not there.  There were reports over the summer that George lived in a shack and earned a dollar a day.  George denied the claims and considered them insulting.  George is the youngest of their father’s seven children.  He was born six months after their father died.  In the president’s book “Dreams From My Father”, he described George as a “handsome, roundheaded boy with a wary gaze.”  Could this have been the last time Barack saw George?  Since he referred to George as a “boy”, could that be an indication of when he saw him last?

The White House declined to comment on this situation.  I’m not surprised because Barack wasn’t that close to him.  This isn’t good timing for Barack considering the crisis he has to deal with trying to fix the country.  This is the last thing Barack needs to deal with now.  I wonder if George will try to get in contact with Barack now that he’s in trouble.  I can see him trying to capitalize on the fact that his brother is the president of the United States.
