Obama offended by Palin smears

Politico's Carrie Budoff Brown reports: At a press avail in Monroe, Mich., Barack Obama on Palin: "Back off these kinds of stories."

"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."

On charges that his campaign has stoked the story via liberal blogs:

"I am offended by that statement. There is no evidence at all that any of this involved us," he said. "Our people were not involved in any way in this, and they will not be. And if I thought there was somebody in my campaign who was involved in something like that, they would be fired."

But what about the TRUTH!?

 

[KarmaKitten]

I wanna hear all the crazy christians reactions to this.

If Mccain comes to power the cold war then ww3 will start.

What, that we're all victims of original sin?
How much easier would it have been for Palin to pressure her into an abortion?
These are principled people. The ticket earns moral points in my view.

Besides, Cheney's daughter is a rampaging homosexual and Bush still won the Christian right.
Petty change.

This is... entirely different to claiming that you've given birth to a child which you've then denied as your own and raised as your mothers to protect mum's political agenda. Good on Obama for slamming these stories, shows more ticker than McCain has had in the face of similarly bad rumours around Obama and his family. If we're to be personal I think Obama's personal life has shown him to be more of an honourable man than McCain, despite McCain's war record.

I wanna hear all the crazy christians reactions to this.

I doubt many will care tbh. Most of them if they're that nuts have probably had similar 'problem children'.

Yeah, I was thinking this is doing nothing but earning her massive kudos in front of the conservatives. She's walking the walk instead of just talking the talk, yar yar yar.


Also all these claims of WW3 are making me nearly cry with laughter.

I'm just loving how Palin's conservatism is so genuine and practical. Her views have personal costs for her (son in Iraq, daughter up duff), but her committment to sacrifice for higher ideals, the greater good, is fucken serious business brau

McCain's message is taking good form

Both leaders have a good chance of dying in office for obvious reasons, so it's fairly important that the vice prez nominees are ready to lead.
I can't say that I approve of Palin's selection. It's simply irresponsible and disgustingly cynical.

 

[Silver Persian]

I miss the shrill, desperate voice of Hillary

 

[Iron]

I miss her towering frigidity and constant half scream

I'm sure the fact that it might help him win also irritates you

EDIT: Actually Caribou Barbie is starting to get on my nerves. She speaks incredibly well though, you know, for a woman.

When did America become such a dreadfully conservative country? More worried about abortions than the threat of war on 3+ fronts. I want to blow up the religious right

Because Americans still believe that there is a GOD somewhere out there.

IRAQ IS A MISSION FROM GOD.

"Speaking before the Pentecostal church, Palin painted the current war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could act out the will of the Lord.

"Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God," she exhorted the congregants. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan.""

Anyone catch Foreign Correspondent last night? They were saying that many religious Americans and military families are turning against the Republican party. I think it was mostly filmed in Colorado.
