Obama to Daily Kos: Back off Palin

In Monroe, Michigan today at a campaign stop Barack Obama was asked about rumors that Sarah Palin’s daughter was really the mother of four month old Trig, and also what he thought of Sarah Palin revealing that the same daughter really is five months pregnant. Bravo to Obama for his response:

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.

Bummer

The main stream media seems awfully disappointed that Gustav wasn’t worse. I wonder if they will give the Bush Adminstration and Governor Bobby Jindal the credit they deserve for an excellent advance preparation and response? Nah.

We already knew well in advance of Gustav’s landfall what the Democrats were hoping for. What a bunch of hypocrites…see the vid below and imagine the response if a Republican had said the timing of a deadly hurricane “demontrates God’s on our side”:

How low will Liberals go in attacking Palin?

First it was CNN’s John Roberts who questioned whether or not Sarah Palin was capable of caring for a Down Syndrome child if she became Vice President.

Then Alan Colmes – of Hannity and Colmes fame – questioned whether Palin herself contributed to the development of Down’s in her baby in utero, alleging she didn’t get proper pre-natal care.

Now the liberal blog Daily Kos is alleging Trig Palin, the four month old baby of Sarah and Todd Palin, is in fact the baby of Sarah and Todd’s 16 year-old daughter, and that Sarah Palin faked her pregnancy to cover up the illegimate pregnancy of her daughter!

This kind of reporting should make every liberal proud.
