It's McCain's big tent circus, starring Sarah Palin: The Human Contradiction.
You must not have gotten the message from your boss. Here:
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.?
+5 points in Obama's column on my score sheet. That's the kind of talk I like to hear from a potential president. :thumbsup:
I could not agree more it is nice to see Obama practice what he preaches. I do hope if this keeps up he will go a little further and call out the offenders in the media and online. Obama seems like a good upstanding man to bad he is on the opposite end of my most important issues this election year.
