How old was Obama's mother when she was pregnant with him?

Question

How old was Obama's mother when she was pregnant with him?

Answer 1

Obama is being understanding to Palin's situation.

Answer 2

The same age as Bristol Palin, probably, but his mom didn't have a mother that was being touted as the poster child for the Family Values party.  

It's not about the fact that Bristol is pregnant or that she is not getting an abortion - it's about the fact that the Republicans are madly spinning what they have a gold-clad track record of what they have spoke out against - rampant teenage pregnancy, lack of morals, etc. etc., but now it's okay and everyone should just be quiet because it's THEIR person who is going through it, and not the dirty, welfare-loving Dems.  

They can't publically admit they are eating crow.  If they did that, the furor would die down, I think.   Everyone nows this stuff happens.  But they want to spin it and ignore their own history of condeming others who get pregnant before they can really even support themselves.

Answer 3

That was nearly 45 years ago. They didnt have birth control then. Now they do and with Palins strict good moral values well isnt she smart her daughter is knocked up and she is marrying her off to a self proclaimed "redneck" who on his facebook page which has since been prohibited but he says on his facebook that he does NOT want children. Oh wont they be a happy couple. She underage and he a redneck who doesnt want children. Palin is using her daughter as leverage to get votes for the underdog. People are d**n fools.

Answer 4

17/18.

And that's why he wants people and the media to lay off of Bristol Palin.

Answer 5

I agree with "airlines charge for the seat" avatar.  So uneccessary to be bringing up his mom.  Is this a troll?  Not nice, let's not go there.( How should we know anyway since he never speaks of them anyway).

This incessant bickering is so uneccessary...let's just deal with more facts and less insults adults. Honestly we are reducing our banter to elementary school level. May the best man win, and hopefully our Country will get what we need, a strong leader who will get rid of the lobbyists and corruption in our governments pocket.

Personally, I wish it had been Hillary. You get lemons you make McCain lemonaide.

Also, No matter who you are in favor of, for everyone who is against scams, please note that Frederic B above as well as Chester W USED to be Todd R. He skipped out on Todd R. avatar after pp found out about him. He will act like he is for whichever candidate the question is pro for, then asks answerers to link to his money-making blog...u gotta watch out for this one all the time...if you go to his link make sure u do a virus/spyscan after!

Answer 6

Leave his mother out of this.  Gee, even the dead get picked on.

Answer 7

She was in Grad School at Univ of HI at the time, so I would say early to mid 20s.
