It is somewhat sad, clearly she's been coached. Nobody this age understands why they need a job first. While I applaud the sentiment (I think everyone SHOULD be self-sufficient before getting married so they understand responsibility); this does smack of being rammed down her throat a bit.

As for Sarah Palin - you should read Hillary Clinton's biography which sounds a lot like this. Apparently Hillary's mom was in a very loveless relationship and wanted her daughter to only get married if she could make it beneficial to her career plans and goals. It seems pretty clear that's about all Bill and her one child was about. THAT'S a very sad and shallow reason to get married. Go read her biography if you don't believe me.
