"I have said before and I will repeat again: People's families are off limits," Obama said. "And 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. So I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories. You know my mother had me when she was 18 and how a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn’t be a topic of our politics."

Bullocks. He attended a Kos convention last summer. He is complicit in this crap by supporting them.
That was decent of BHO.
He’s right. Bravo.
It’s easy for BHO to take the high road when he’s got the entire MSM and its lemmings at DU, Daily Kos, etc. to take the low road for him.
I’m not going to stand up and cheer. We’ll see how long he sticks to his word.
They won't stop until the first post-GOP convention polls come out - too bad for them, it'll be far too late by then.
Sadly I must be cynical and assume he’s taking the high road while his minions blaze through the low.
In any event, all of this media and blog sleaze is about trying to dint her before she wows the country on Wednesday night. The media and its fellow members of the left are afraid of the GOP putting a rising young female star before the country and the country falling for her. Seriously. She could be in national politics for a long time after this election. They can’t have that. Don’t think they don’t realize what’s at stake.
Scripted, ghostwritten, maybe. Respectable.
Obama is not dumb. He knows this teen-pregnancy story is probably a small negative for McCain.... if left alone. But if his left-wing wackos and media overplay it, which they are doing, it will turn into a positive for McCain.
That's it in a nutshell.
Unfortunately not really, his strategy is to have the media attack which he knows they are more then willing to do
Nothing Barry does is respectable. He’s simply a repugnant creep.
Bill Oreilly had Juan Williams on. Oreilly was BLASTING the Daily Kos.
And Williams was agreeing with him. They specifically brought up Obamas trip to the Kos convention.
Poppycock....he planted the seeds, the MSM provides the fertilizer. Of course he can appear “above it” now.....the flying monkeys are off and running.
Enjoy your bile.

I don't know enough about this guy to judge whether of not he's legit, but I thought I throw it out to Freepers to see if you folks can find out if there's any fire to go with this smoke.
