Obama to Media, Politicos on Palin Pregnancy Story: 'Back Off!'

no one caused sucha fuss when jamie lynn spears got preggers. yes they talked about her but they didnt go and blame her family or attack her mother. leave them alone. ppl in the spotlight having it harder than you think...if she were your daughter, would you be ok to her name being slammed in the mud? i dont htink so. each person has their own idea of what they should do, until its thier own child. thenthe tables are turn and teeth are barred...think of it this way. her daughter was preggers before palin was vp gop. and if mccain hadnt chose her, her daughter would STILL be preggers. so get off your high horses and in stead take the plank out of your eye before you remove the speck from hers. or anyone elses for that matter.

edit. I stated Obamas Birth certificate (type) was crystal clear. Mistyped. I meant it was not totally readable.

I remember seeing Sen. Obamas Birth certificate on a site, showing he was born in Hawaii.
Now, It was crystal clear (type) but I did see it. Perhaps Snopes can confirm or deny this?

I find laughable the way mainstream paints everyone, ''out of touch,'' but it's collective self. The ones so upset with John McCain, they actually ''issued'' PRESS CREDENTIAL to an code pinker, to disrupt the speech. Shame on you also when you allow welfare to replace minority men as ''fathers'' to teens as young as 14, that's your responsibility. Since the focus has been on Gov Palins teen daughter whose ''accepted'' her responsibility, I'm sure Obama&Michelle have found ''quality family time'' to raise there family, beyond medias destructive influence?? So from my ''prespective'' the media is out of touch on reality, or chooses to be for the sake of electing an man with questionable background as Obama lingering question IS HE AN LEGIT US AMERICAN CITIZEN TO BECOME NEXT ''POSSIBLE'' TO OCCUPY WHITE HOUSE?? WHY DOESN'T HE PRODUCE HIS ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE? THANKS TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND CHANGE, THATS THE RULE AT GOV'T OFFICES, ARE YOU ACTUALLY YOU??? PLEASE MR.OBAMA PROVE YOUR LEGALLY US RESIDENT, THE REST OF US HAVE TOO!

You are the main reason why people are voting for Obama, and I love every moment of it. I see, I'll have to break this down into layman's term. First of all, Mrs. Obama's message went completely over your head. You didn't understand the intended first ladies message. "When she commented on being proud of her country for the very first time", she meant, she was aware that there were people before her who began the long, turbulent, and difficult journey, a journey that was marked by sustained suffering, struggles, perseverance, bravery, achievement and survival, a triumph over adversity for African Americans. Mrs. Obama was fully aware of the complexity of racial disparity, and the experiences she and others had to endure. But now, now in her life time, she is able to see the journey of those before her, had to pay a price, in order for the people to choose a man because of his moral and intrinsic values, his honesty and integrity, and love of unmixed liberty, with the ability to lead. Senator Obama is now in that position, all because of that journey. This is a historical event for all of us, it's an African American Odyssey which tells a story.
Senator Obama is experiencing uncommon favor, and he always will. And
no, weapon formed against him, his wife, and children or anyone who is connected with him will ever prosper. You can take this to the bank and make a deposit because, This is Real Word.

I think it's very mature of him not to comment on the prenancy issue. He still doesn't have my vote though. And as far as Palin goes. She's using the fact that she had a child with disability to get to people. She is using that to get into your head and make you believe that she's the one for the job. Just be real about it. I don't care but it's gonna take more then your child having a disability to get my vote. This is not a pitty game that we are playing here. This is the damn person that is going to be running our damn country. The one that has to clean up this stupid mess that Bush has made. Be smart about your decision people. Seriously!!!!!!!!

I think Michelle should live in Pakistan or Afghanistan where women have no rights and live in fear for wanting to be treated as equals.. honestly.. this woman should not represent our country as first lady!

Michelle Obama quote

“For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country,” she told a Milwaukee crowd today, “because it feels like hope is making a comeback.”

So... a non-black person couldn't also get shot at a gas station?? Is she for real? OMG.. and this could be our next first lady? hahaha

From the February 11, 2007, edition of CBS’ 60 Minutes:

KROFT: This is a tough question to ask, but a number of years ago, Colin Powell was thinking about running for president, and his wife, Alma, really did not want him to run.

MICHELLE OBAMA: Mm-hmm.

KROFT: She was worried about some crazy person with a gun.

MICHELLE OBAMA: Mm-hmm.

KROFT: Is that something that you think about?

MICHELLE OBAMA: I don’t lose sleep over it, because the realities are that, you know, as a black man, you know, Barack can get shot going to the gas station, you know. So, you know, you can’t — you know, you can’t make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen. We just weren’t raised that way.

One issue I can't help thinking about. Everyone is applauding Palin's decision about having a baby with Down's Syndrom.
The point here is that she had a choice to have the baby. No one came banging on her door to force her to have her baby. Also this holds true to her daughter. They both had a choice. If it were up to them that choice would not be there. A child having a child makes little sense. What about those seventeen or younger girls who have no family support? Are they less valuable than Palin's daughter?

I can not believe the number of you people that support Obama! Come on people, Stop listing to the media and go learn about Obama on your own! You WILL find that Sara Palin is Way MORE experienced then Obama!! In fact that has been proven! The only thing Obama wants to do is Raise our Taxes! and as for Obama's so called "Change" well that is all we are going to have in our pockets if he becomes president! I for one will NOT vote for a man who's wife was only proud of her country for the "FIRST" time or a man that doesn't support his own country! Come on, he (I am talking about Obama) would not even say the pledge of allegiance! He doesn't support our troops and he doesn't even have a record for doing any thing! I mean all he has done is ... OH NOTHING!!!! I do not know why so many so called Americans would vote for Obama when he does NOT support our Country!

Palin's own statement about Bristol's pregnancy has the word "choice" in it. Apparently it's okay for her own daughter to have a "choice" but she'd like to make abortion illegal even for cases of rape and incest.

The GOP is done. You knuckleheads have screwed-up this great country enough and it's time to step aside. Or maybe you should put your money where your mouth is and head off to Iraq.

You lefty liberals kill me. Whats so great about Obama anyway... i rather the possible #2 candidate be less experienced than the #1 candidate. Obama would've been better off if he picked Oprah as his running mate. He has no chance. Liberals are ruthless and classless when it comes to rioting and blogging about the opponent. you look like a bunch of crazy people. Go save the planet or something... and the issue of her dsughter bing pregnant. Palin is Pro Life... so at least her daughter didnt have an abortion. I think that says a lot of how Palin has raised her children to take responsibility for their actions.

Don't like either candidate, but have to respect Obama for his comment. That showed a lot of class.

Hey people, lets face the fact that if this woman(Palin)have all the qualities that people claimed she has, to run a country is not easy compring to Alaska, where she had even failed to monitor her 17yrs old daughter who got pregnant. How can she run the country as a president when MacCain get sick? or how can she face these tough guys in the Middle east when there is crisis? I think this country must get serious to do the right things instead of making mistakes for correction all the time. All the world is looking at us now and we must create a good picture, but 17 yrs old pregnant picture to outsiders that would be embarrassing.

I have to be skeptical about McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his vice president. I just think it's incredibly hypocritical of McCain to give such an important position to the governor of a state with only 670,000 people, not only that but she has much less political experience than Obama. McCain's main attacks against Obama were based on his so called lack of experience so how is her situation any different or better?? It would be very nice if he would send a clear message instead of sending mixed signals. Do his own rules or beliefs not apply to him? As for Palin's family situation....I do think that the general public should have a right to know but on the other hand it should NOT be getting the news coverage that it is. There are much more important things going on in the world right now and I can not believe that this is one of them to some people. Focus on whats important!

From the comments I here on this site and in the media: You people need to find some thing to do. Why worry about this trivia. We will see her in action, just be patient. Leave the kids alone. There are forces that are definitely paying to smear her. Time will tell who they are. So, sit back and enjoy the show.

As an Obama supporter, I am extremely proud of my candidate for not being hypocritical and standing by his previous stance that family members (especially children) are off limits. However, I'd like to offer some insight to McCain supporters as to why this issue is so "newsworthy." Since the 1980s, the religious right has been standing at the pulpit condemning Democrats as immoral because of the National Party's stance on abortion and more recently gay marriage. The self-righteous behavior of candidates and elected officials drawing their support from this demographic has left them even more open to criticism from progressive members of other religions as well as agnostics and atheists. Like it or not, when you paint yourself as the banner carrier for moral integrity and Christian values, you draw closer scrutiny by the media and pundits when you or someone else around you suddenly descends from grace and becomes human again.

Off limits..What if the situation was the father was abusive to children or Palin? Is this a private matter? I think that nothing is off limit if you run for public office. Being in the public light is by choice, Palin put herself first. Her daughter is young and enduring negative criticism from the public. You know she has be in tune with the negative comments. What about her feeling? What effect this is going to have on her? Is marriage the best solution? As a parent, my natural instinct is to protect my children not myself.

OBAMA is the right man for the job! Plain and simple. Don't be afraid, Be smart, and support the man who will go down in history as one of our betst Presidents ever!
