Per his statement yesterday, 47 years ago, his mother was in the exact same position as Bristol.
When you call Bristol's unborn child a b*****d, you are calling Obama a b*****d.
When you belittle Bristol for choosing to keep the child and marry the father, you are belittling Ann Dunham for keeping her child and marrying the father (though they did divorce later).
That's why I believe Barack was sincere in his statement yesterday when he said to leave Bristol alone and said he would fire anyone in his campaign that he caught spreading these malicious things about her. I am not normally inclined to believe him without research, but in this case, this is a very personal issue to him because it reflects his own history.
