Obama: "Back off" Palin pregnancy

MONROE, Mich. | Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama Monday afternoon issued a strong statement to "back off" reports of Bristol Palin's pregnancy, telling reporters families — and especially children — are off limits in this presidential campaign.

Mr. Obama, campaigning here, also noted that his own mother was 18 when she gave birth to him.

"People's families are off limits," he said. "People's children are especially off limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president. "

"I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories," he added. "That shouldn't be a topic in our politics."

He vehemently pushed back against an unnamed McCain aide suggesting his campaign had any ties to the blogs that were spreading rumors before the news broke, saying he was "offended" by that and if any of his staff was involved in spreading the issue, "they'd be fired."

"We don't go after people's families. Our people are not involved in any way," he said.

It was ignored because it was nothing but grandstanding by Obama. He knew he has no control over the drive-by media and the liberal, extreme leftwing, hate blogs...he knew they would attack anyway. But he publicly takes the high road and fools some of the people some of the time. Am I cynical? No, he is a Chicago politician...a product of one of the most corrupt political machines in the country. He got his political start by forcing his opponents out of the election, not beating them at the ballet box...with help from two of the most anti-American figures in this political cycle. This is hardball politics, nothing is as it seems!!!

Robert I doubt you will find many "angels" in politics. Having said that, with two daughters of his own, he just might have had a little empathy.

Right on both counts, but that doesn't negate the fact that Obama knows his family is safe from the drive-by media and Republican families aren't...not even the sitting President's!!!!!!
