Obama's Strong Statements About What Is 'Off Limits'#1

Posted: 9/2/08 at 11:59am

From CNN (excerpt) Sen. Barack Obama said firmly that families are off-limits in the campaign for president, reacting to news that GOP running mate Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter is pregnant.

"Let me be as clear as possible," Obama said. "I think people's families are off-limits, and 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 governor or her potential performance as a vice president."

"We don't go after people's families; we don't get them involved in the politics. It's not appropriate, and it's not relevant," he added. "Our people were not involved in any way in this, and they will not be. And if I ever thought that there was somebody in my campaign that was involved in something like that, they'd be fired."

Another reason I'm proud to vote for him.

I posted a video of him saying this in a Palin thread.

He is the best candidate BY FAR, and I cannot wait for him to be sworn in.

He was like this during the primary as well. He is a gentleman.
