Obama Says Back Off

Just a quick update to my previous post about Sarah Palin's daughter being pregnant and suggestion that Obama needed to denounce the slander ramping up on the Left.  To his credit, Barack Obama was on this one fast:

Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama Monday afternoon issued a strong statement to "back off" reports of Bristol Palin's pregnancy, telling reporters families — and especially children — are off limits in this presidential campaign.

Mr. Obama ... also noted that his own mother was 18 when she gave birth to him.

"People's families are off limits," he said. "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. "

"I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories," he added. "That shouldn't be a topic in our politics."

Well spoken, Sen. Obama!  Now, if only his wacko Obot followers on the far Left would listen to him, this girl might get some privacy...

There's my two cents.
