  Did no one vet this woman at all? What the heck was McCain thinking?

  Interesting that Obama himself pointed out that his mother was unmarried and 18 when she became pregnant with him.

  obama's response was pure political poetry. *first* he demanded that the press stop covering the issue (by making a statement about it, he almost required the press to cover the issue longer by quoting him and then by describing the issue he was talking about). but in doing so he made himself look good. *then* he commented on the fact that his mother was 18 when he was born. making himself look sympathetic and more human. finally he slammed the mccain camp for insinuating that he had anything to do with the story breaking. this guy has clearly not read the "roll over and play dumb" democratic field politics handbook.

  This is just too ironic. Sarah Palin is for teaching abstinence in public school. Looks like her own teaching of abstinence didn't work out so well. But other then that, I agree, people's family and children should be outside of limites.
