Levi: The Palins 'blew us off'

I do not have much sympathy for Levi Johnston or his family now that they have gone the media route to get their taste of fame. The best thing for everyone involved would have been for Levi to keep quiet and remain out of the spotlight because if he is so concerned about his child then he would know better than to attack the mother's family on national television. Although Tripp is too young to understand what is going on, the bitterness and hostility that has arisen been the two families will probably hurt Tripp once he is old enough to learn about the difficulties of shuffling across one family to the other each week. Despite my belief that Sarah Palin is making more out of the situation than she should, the only thing that should matter right now is what is best for Tripp. Levi is not the answer to that question at this point in time because he has not much going for him, whereas Bristol has a family that is raising a child of their own and have the resources and time to devote to Tripp's upbringing. It seems like a no-brainer to me that Bristol should be given more visiting time with Tripp, but that does not mean Levi should be totally left out to dry. If Levi really wants to be there for his son then he needs to lead by example rather than threatening lawsuits, conducting interviews, and trying to get his name out there.
