Levi Johnston dishes about fatherhood, marriage, and Barack Obama
Filed under: Bump Watch, Celeb Kids, Celeb Parents
Levi Johnston wants to set the record straight about a few things: he's not being forced to marry Bristol Palin, he's not being bossed around by the McCain campaign, and he thinks Barack Obama "seems like a good guy."But he'll be pulling for John McCain and Sarah Palin in November. "I just hope she wins," he said. "She's my future mother-in-law. She better win."
Smart kid.
Johnston admits that he was surprised by girlfriend Bristol Palin's pregnancy, but says that there's nothing shotgun about their upcoming wedding. "We were planning on getting married a long time ago with or without the kid," he told the Associated Press. "That was the plan from the start." The much-publicized MySpace page announcing that Johnston didn't want kids was a joke, he said, set up by some buddies. His own feelings are the exact opposite. "I'm excited to have my first kid."
Johnston hinted that he and Palin are expecting a boy, saying, "I'm looking forward to having him. I'm going to take him hunting and fishing. He'll be everywhere with me." The baby is due December 18.
He also explained the "Bristol" tattoo on his ring finger, which replaced a "promise" ring, given to him by Palin, that he lost on a hunting trip. He figured the tattoo was just easier than a ring, which he would lose anyway.
Other than dropping out of high school to go to work as an oil field electrician, Johnston claims that none of the events of the past few weeks have changed him. "I'm still the same old boy," said Johnston. "I'm just a workin' man."

tired of it all said...well it is obvious the kid is a republican!! if he were a democrat he would expect the government to pay everything for him and he would not have to go get a job to support his family! give him credit he is being responsible and taking care of his wife to be and unborn child. he can finish his high school diploma when time allows.

Hero111 said...My husband works on the North Slope in Alaska with these people and just an FYI, you might ought to look into what the pay scale is for an electrician apprentice on the North Slope....he probably makes more money in a month than the average American brings home in two months with a College Education. As another post said "teenage pregnancy isn't anything new in this country." We all make mistakes and God forgives us for our sins. We are not to judge, but then again, it is so easy to judge when it happens to somebody elses kid.

shawn said...Its amazing how all the people out there giving Palin a hard time yet they probably stepped right up for Hillary! She's a great role model for young women today! Married to a man who couldn't keep it in his pants and out of a mere child who envied him. Then stands by her man like a strong women as they go around preaching family values. Of Course, Bill didn't lie because we don't consider a BJ Sex in our family! Cut me a break! Her daughter should be the first female President. At least she stood in the face of adversity at Cal while she knew every person looking at her had seen her dirty laundry aired all over the world!

karen said...sounds like he said dropping out of high school..well he will fit right in with the Palin family of dysfunction.. What is wrong with this picture..we also have a "special needs" child that is being wagged up and down in bright lights and deafening noise at 11 at night ...all for political gain? Another example of the ignorance of the conservative right wing..and all their easy answers to real life ..the ones that obviously aren't practical and don't usually happen.

Barbara Norrell said...At least he went and got a job and is owning up to his responsibilities instead of having his girl have to go get welfare as we know MANY do and they keep having kids so the check goes up.

Mary K. N. said...If he were a democrat, he'd already have some appointed govt. office, like Obama gave his atty. friend from that Greek crime syndicate family.
But McCain may not lose. He wrote a bill the democrats killed that would have prevented the democrat-caused financial meltdown.
Don't believe me?
