Obama on Palin's daughter's baby

Mature!

Good for Obama to release the follwing statement yesterday regarding Governor Palin's daughter being pregnant (http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0908/Obama_on_Palin.html?showall):

"I have said before and I will repeat again: People's families are off limits ... 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."

That is a great thing to say and I think that he, personally, means it. But that will not stop his supporters, the media, and his campaign from trying to use it is an attack. I am interested to see what "lunch bucket Joe" (barf!!!) has to say about this and how he uses it.

Nevertheless, Obama is right on with his comments and I am certain that he is very sincere.
