Boo hoo, Bill.

Note how Obama's quick stance on the issue brings more praise to him. Way to go, Mr. nominee.

1. Oh sure Bill
and if Obama's daughter were 17 and pregnant, the fundievangelicals would be calling for mandatory abstinence only education. I understand that Obama is not going to discuss this and that is probably good politically speaking, but it needs to be noted that teen pregnancy is not "fixed" because of abstinence only education.

2. this bastard's a tool
his career should have been over years ago. asshole racist jerk. leave the girl out of it out of it out of it, then slipping in that he believes abstinence only education should be taught in schools. now how can we leave the girl out of it when she's a living breathing example of how ineffective abstinence only education is?

4. Normally I agree with Obama, but....
On this one, he's wrong. Teen pregnancy had been falling for years prior to this push for absitenence only. Now I'm not one to say that part of a COMPREHENSIVE sexual education program, the option of abstinence shouldn't be explored because it should, but you should let kids know ALL them options to keeping themselves free of disease and unnecessary burden.

Obama is wrong because this isn't just some cheap stunt, it's a VALID POINT and we have every right to make it.

8. This fat pig needs to learn the phrase "what's good for the goose is good for the gander".....
bennett gets all hot and worried that anyone talks about this issue, when in fact, it comes to the forefront of issues when the newly anointed, ill-prepared and ill-qualified politician is embraced as the VP to the neocon/fascist party.

Hey bill.....grow up!

13. As I have sat and watched these people.
year after year after year telling their base and the people who think they are some how holier than thou or above everyone else I have wondered how in the hell can people believe this shit. We have seen throughout the years how they lie about sex,drugs and thievery and people continue to believe them. If anyone is really living and seeing what is going on in the real america they know this is not true. Look at the nightly news I guess they think it is just all in the ghetto's.
