Yes. As he said, why would he attack that? he comes from the same situation.

He is doing the smart thing politically. Of course he means it. Whether he is doing it just b/c it's the wise political move or not is open to interpretation.

It definitely scores him political points by speaking out against it, but I have no reason to think that he was being insincere with his statement...

I agree. He was born from a teenage mother, so of course he wouldn't be insincere. But making that comment sure does make him seem more down-to-earth and real to us voters. |

Yes. And he is right. That's her business. I kind of feel bad for the girl. I mean her face is plastered all over the news.

I think he was sincere because he has kids. And I listened to him on NPR this morning, and he sounded sincere.

Agreed.
However, I also agree with a letter-to-the-editor in my local paper that said this is a demonstration of the effectiveness of 'abstinance only' sex ed. |

Yeah I think he is and he is 110% correct families and children shouldn't matter in politics.

Well, they *are* newsworthy, like it or not, but they should be off-limits for political attacks. |

I wonder, however.
First they say that the daughter's pregnancy is a private family matter, then they parade the unwed pregnant daughter and the prospective (but still unwed) father on center stage during the Republican Convention. But still don't talk about the daughter's pregnancy. That's private
There seems to be a bit of double standard here.

What should they have done- - left her home while the rest of the family made the traditional "meet the family" appearance at the convention?

If they're going to use it as an example of how they're sticking by their pro-life beliefs and as a profile in courage for dealing with an unforeseen and inconvenient event, they should probably expect a little flack. Nevertheless, all they've received has been press coverage.

Yes. I think that Obama demonstrated the strength of his character by refusing to use the situation to make a cheap political point as most politicians would have done.

To avoid the double standard, Palin should have refused the offer to be McCain's running mate.
I shudder at the thought of a book burner being one heartbeat away from the Oval Office. |

obama's a good man - i'm sure he was sincere about that. the worst news come to the best us without warning. i'm just a little bit saddened that he lost some traction in the polls recently... made me laugh my head off when someone made a "bollywood" spoof with obama doing some aja aja thing... funny as heck. see at Clashorama |
