Question

Ohbama was into pot and bolivian marching powder in his teens.

What kind of guy/campaign picks on a teen who asks on y!A "am i pregnant?"

America is CRAZY i'm just a brit

Answer 1

It's not Obama. It's the media and they do this to everyone. The person who's at fault is her mother. I gonna give it to you; I'd like to know if you think this is the response of a responsible parent:

John, I'd like to, but right know my daughter is going through a pregnancy out of wedlock. Pregnancy is hard enough as it is without public scrutiny. I'm being investigated for wrong doing in the firing of my former brother in law from the state Troopers. I know I've done nothing wrong, but i don't want to be a distraction to your campaign and ultimately cause you to lose. So I am honored, by not at this time.

Isn't that what the responsible parent should have done?  should she step aside now for the good of the party and McSame?

Answer 2

Barack Obama did the opposite; he asked people to back off on people's families.  with this i agree.  leave Bristol out of it, she's just a young girl, has nothing to do with her mom's credentials for the job.

Answer 3

this american won't

Answer 4

I heard Obama speak briefly on the topic; it was a far cry from picking on her.  On the contrary, he asked that Palin's family be left out of politics, just as he has asked in the past for his family to be left out of things.  He also made mention of his mother's young age when she gave birth to him.  Nice try, though.

Answer 5

He is using the power of:

"The Best Defense is Good Offense," to keep from being scrutinized anymore than he already is.

His clear and open friendships with mobsters, religious fanatics, and corporate thieves should scream louder than any WORDS spewing from his mouth.

TWO_FACED double talker---that's the BO MAN!

Answer 6

Obama Said in a Loud & Positive Manner to Back Of Family... so If your a McCain supporter, drop it.

McCain / Palin 2008

Answer 7

Your are invited to watch me vote for McCain, because nothing will change my vote. And I mean nothing!

Answer 8

obama never insulted her, he asked people to back off and said it was an irrelevant issue, you are a misinformed moron

Answer 9

Obama is not the person doing this - idiots at the dailykos are.

I am not voting for Obama, but you really should blame the people who are doing it and not Obama.

Obama has enough problems without being blamed for s**t.  As far as contolling his people, who ever accused him of being able to do that?

Answer 10

You see how during the DNC repuplican people intelligently listened while at the RNC the democrat nut jobs can't help but destroy the city, attack cops, break stuff, on and on. Is this their way of saying "Hey America, vote democrat, we're more mature"

Answer 11

Obama did not pick on Bristol Palin, he has said that everyone should leave her alone, that it is not right to pick on children and it has nothing to do with Sarah Palin's ability to be vice president.  

Answer 12

Where have you heard him pick on her?  I've only heard him say this:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/01/o...

Basically saying that families are off limits and aren't part of the politics.

Answer 13

How can you vote for a guy who put a violent, gun-toting fundie that he hardly knew as his second in charge?

Answer 14

You are such a uninformed loser.

Answer 15

The Obama campaign isn't attacking Bristol Palin.  Maybe you need to do some more research on Obama's position of this before posting.

Answer 16

America is not crazy its just the ones on Yahoo answers I HOPE!!!!!

Answer 17

Obama specifically said that family matters, and especially people's children are completely off limits in any political campaign.

The only person who would even care about a candidate's personal life anyway are right wing family values people who want their candidate to represent the same things they believe in. Funny enough getting pregnant out of wedlock at 17 is not one of these things, yet the Christians are looking the other way in this case of course.

Getting knocked up at 17 is far more stupid and serious than smoking pot, and comes with much bigger consequences. Maybe if she had learned about birth control instead of abstinence it wouldn't have happened.

Answer 18

YOU IDIOIT!!  The important part of that question is 'in his teens' it's not like he acts that way now.  Get over it I think most people change completetly from being a teen to an adult...You dummy

Answer 19

You sound like a d**n fool!

Answer 20

I'm glad the facts don't confuse you.  

Answer 21

Not all of the U.S.--don't worry.  Most of the U.S. citizens who count on election day don't have time to spend in Y/A.  A whole lot of the country is seeing right through the ruse.

Answer 22

The only thing Obama has said about Bristol is that he doesn't think her pregnancy is relevant to the election.  

Answer 23

when u was younger you did not try any drugs or ever pick on anyone????????????? thought so i am not 4 ohbama but you and i know you are not perfect...........

Answer 24

Meh, I live in canada. (and I'm only 14) but I still prefer obama because he's not a loser goody good like the rest of the presidents. I think its awesome that a druggie grows up to become president! More power to him! WALLA WALLA

Answer 25

Your not saying Ohbama answered a question on Yahoo q/a are you? Sorry but that's just how it sounded to me, surely he'd be a bit too busy just now!!!

But your right America IS crazy and Im 'just a brit too'

Answer 26

Obama has actually called family off limits. He has in no way picked on a pregnant teen.

Answer 27

Who are you talking about?

Obama never talked about Palin's daughter.

Answer 28

well said

British people know B.S.

they dealt with plenty over there

Obama was a g*y too, back in his teens to 30's
