Obama Takes the High Road; Leaves Palin Teen Pregnancy Target For the Media

Posted by Juan

My question is can a Mom of 5 with a 4 month old newborn be an effective Vice Prez?

Sarah Palin

John McCain’s campaign over the last week has taken on the characteristics of the Hurricane Gustav which has forced the Republican Party so somewhat abbreviate their convention.  At the eye of the political storm was the shocking news, John McCain’s camp announced over the weekend that the 17-year old daughter of his brand new running mate is five months pregnant.  There was even some later discredited blog buzz that Gov. Sarah Palin’s 4-month-old son Trig is actually her daughter’s child.

Now does it not bother anyone or seem a little weird that a woman who has a 4 MONTH OLD BABY is running for Vice President?  Granted its her 5th child and her husband I would imagine is very capable of taking care of the child but shouldn’t she be breast feeding or changing diapers?  Especially at age 44 one would think that raising a child should be number one priority.  But now news that her daughter is pregers?!

All this is a little weird and would almost seem like an easy target for Barack Obama and the Democrats.  But as we’ve seen before the honorable Obama told reporters at a Labor Day picnic “I think people’s families are off limits.  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. So I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories.”

He continued, “You know, my mother had me when she was 18. How family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn’t be the topic of our politics. I hope that anybody who’s supported me understands that’s off limits.”

Although McCain’s campaign said that Bristol Palin will keep her baby and at some point marry the baby’s pops I still remain enamoured with the fact that our next potential VP has a newborn.  Forget the teenage pregnancy happens every day and as my man Obama instructed we should back off but how does a new mother expect to be instrumental in raising a COUNTRY when she doesn’t have the time to do what SHOULD be her first priority in raising her newborn.  Not weird to anyone?

The word floating around is that she was never fully vetted before being asked to run.

In particular, they say, no one bothered checking the newspaper archives. They know this (says the report) because the paper does not have it’s archives online, which means you have to actually go to the stacks. When the Obama campaign went there to do opposition research, they were told that they were the first people to ask for the info, which means that the McCain campaign didn’t check the newspapers for info.

The net result, as we have seen, is that we get all sorts of surprises.

Above all of the salacious details that the media will spend most of their time covering (like the daughter), there is also the very real issue as to whether or not political pressure was applied in an attempt to fire the ex-husband of the candidates sister during a messy divorce. A committee looking into this is scheduled to release their findings a few days before the election.

I put together a running list of the problems she is facing (as of yesterday). It can be found here:

Thomas Eagleton was dumped during the 1972 election when it was found that he had received electroshock treatment. It’s anyone’s guess as to whether or not this candidate will make it to November.

In either event, while I think that nominating a woman was the smart political move, I think that nominating THIS woman might cause problems.

This following statement was posted on myspace this past weekend about the future president of the USA. To me it’s a pile of bullshit but this person thinks different ya digg………..

Body: The Bible has warned us that ’A man will come from the East that will be charismatic in nature and have proposed solutions for all our problems and his rhetoric will attract many supporters!’

When will our pathetic Nation quit turning their back on God and understand that this man is ’A Muslim’….First, Last and always….and we are AT WAR with the Muslim Nation, whether our bleeding-heart, secular, Liberal friends believe it or not.

This man fits every description from the Bible of the ’Anti-Christ’!

I’m just glad to know that there are others that are frightened by this man!

Who is Barack Obama?

Very interesting and something that should be considered in your choice.

If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to all your contacts…this is very scary to think of what lies ahead of us here in our own United States…better heed this and pray about it and share it.

snopes. com ..’ confirms this is factual. Check for yourself.

Who is Barack Obama?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHEIST from Wichita , Kansas.

Obama’s parents met at the University of Hawaii.

When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia.

When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, ’He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school.

Obama’s political handlers are attempting to make it appear that that he is not a radical.

Obama’s introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best.

In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son’s
education.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta.

Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.

Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance nor will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches.

Do you want someone like this as your PRESIDENT?

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama’s expected presidential candidacy.

The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!

Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this man leading our country?…… NOT ME! Please repost so all your friends can read this. United States had better wake up and wake up now.

oh and in case u didnt figure this out

BARACK= IRAQ

HUESSAIN= come on people…the guy that killed people buy the hundred thousands and thousands

OBAMA= OSAMA

thanx for readin……………………..

WOW, can you believe this crap, all I can do is LMAO cuz people will try anything to stop a black man from running the whiteman’s land…

I’m glad that you said that you do not agree or disagree with this post, because it is wrong on so many different levels that I would risk offending you by telling you how many.

I won’t waste Highbrid Nations’ space by giving a line by line rebuttal, but I wll only mention a few:

1. Obama did not swear in on a Koran. He swore in on a Bible.

2. Not only will Obama say the pledge of Allegiance, he has led the Senate in it on at least one occasion.

3. According to the Bible, Anti-Christ will come from the nation which destroyed the temple, which means he would have to come out of one of the nations occupying the land formerly held by the Roman Empire, which means Europe or northern Africa.

4. As far as the problem with his name, that’s the same logic that said that Ronald Reagan was anti-christ because he had 6 letters in each of his three names. If you want to play name games, a better game would be to notice that Nostradamus said that anti-christs name would be mabus, and that if you look at that in a mirror, you see sudam, which is close to Saddam.

My problem with the post is the seeming attack on Islam. The religion of Islam is not the problem here. Its those who have interpreted its holy text for evil. In my mind its nothing more than a coincidence. If anything his understanding of the muslim culture and Islam will help us to bring and end to our tumultuous conflicts with Arab nations. Chevo thanks for sharing…you copy & pasted so much I almost forgot those were not your words but the words of another which were posted on your myspace.

Personally, I was looking for the pure comedy of this woman in a debate with Biden, it would have to be pure comedy.

Now all of my hoped for laughter has gone down the toilet because of the tabloid society that we live in. Beating this woman up because of her politics and experience is one thing, but utilizing her daughter’s pregnancy and other personal matters for national headlines sucks.

There was enough material there without the personal attacks.

Maybe if she supported funding for sex education instead of promoting abstinence her family would not be in the news. With her newborn having downsyndrome, she may be a little distracted as a VP but she’s a career woman and could not pass up the opportunity to possibly have the second best job in the USA. I think most women would do the same so can’t blame her though she’s on the wrong side. With Obama taking the high road, goodshit, cause the news and the reps. would say he’s contradicting himself.
With the Obama post, its classic republican shit playing the fear game. I still can’t believe with the USA in bad shape, people won’t give a half-black-half-white guy a chance, hopefully the young voters register and vote.
