“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 politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin’s performance as a governor and/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.”
B. Obama, Monroe, Mich., 9.1.08
Michelle isn’t off limits. Neither is Cindy, as they both speak as part of the campaign.
How they defend their accusers is up to them. Many of the criticisms against Michelle are based on Michelle’s own words at a campaign rally. If she says something that is outrageous, then it should be exposed.
Funny. FoxNews left off the last part about his mother having him at 18.
