Obama should not touch this story.
I am going to shock many of you....I simply don't think Palin did anything wrong in this instance. If you view it in the same context as the executive branch of the federal government, we understand and even expect to cover these types of expenses for the entire presidential family.
This is not news, this is fodder. Which ever media mental giant that unearthed this tidbit owes their boss a few dollars.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Gov. Sarah Palin charged the state for her children to travel with her, including to events where they were not invited, and later amended expense reports to specify that they were on official business.
The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch their father in a snowmobile race, and a trip to New York, where the governor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for five days and four nights in a luxury hotel.
In all, Palin has charged the state $21,012 for her three daughters' 64 one-way and 12 round-trip commercial flights since she took office in December 2006. In some other cases, she has charged the state for hotel rooms for the girls.
