Agree w/Obama family members/children off limits, but remember..

how the right laid off Chelsea Clinton and later Al Gore's son when he was having his troubles.

I do feel a lot of sympathy for a young woman that is now thrust right out in the media spotlight by no choice of her own.

1. Yes she didn't ask to be there it's her selfish parents that put her there.

And as I said earlier what consideration have these "family value" parents shown their children? This could be a huge culture shock for them all. Leave the wilderness and send them to DC? Is this a movie script or what? Kind of reminds me of the Beverly Hillbillies. If by some chance they did win which I will help prevent, how can these kids adjust and do the parents even care? I also have a problem with the baby being paraded out to the large gatherings of people. Babies don't need that. This whole deal stinks but it well may be a blessing in disguise.

2. He's taking the high road

Let's see if it works this time.

Because you know, they went so easy on the Rev. Wright.

3. Um ... the real problem is the fact that

MOMMA TEACHING ABSTINENCE ONLY DIDN'T JIBE WITH REALITY ...

So, according to the Repuke mantra ... (at least, when it's an "urban" teen) ... it's the parents' fault for a bad upbringing ...

4. I agree we should be talking about abstinence. But we can do that and leave

the daughter out of most of the discussion. Why is it that we don't hear the stats that say abstinence doesn't work? We need to have the MSM flush out the discussion in full.
