Republicans: What do you think of Obama telling reporters that Palin's family is off-limits?

Question

Love him or hate him, Obama is a man of integrity. These were his exact words:

“Let me be as clear as possible,” said Obama, “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.”

I know many of you are angry at the negative comments regarding Palin and her daughter. What do you think of Obama's comments?

Answer 1

unusually classy coming from a moron but pretty self serving considering his wife's hoof mouth disease notice she doesn't get to speak as much any more?

Answer 2

I respect him for that and I heard him say it and I believe he meant it too. By the tone of his voice, it`s seemed he feels the trash talk about Sarah Palin family members is disgusting and wants no part of it and said he will fire anyone in his campaign engaging in it.

Answer 3

I think it is noble of Obama to make a statement.  He is choosing to take the high road, unlike McCain.

I tend to lean Republican, but I am going for Obama all the way.  

Answer 4

Classy on his part.  And I don't like him.

Answer 5

He is just covering his a@@.  

Answer 6

I agree with him and I think it shows class.... Keep in mind that those who throw stones usually end up in the line of fire sooner or later.

Answer 7

DO AS I THINK

NOT AS I SAY!!!

Answer 8

I think he is always this way if republicans would only wake up & see how good he is & stop listening to people who are padding their pockets thanks to them voting against themselves then we could have a decent country. Not one lie they say about him can be proven. McCain & Palin can admit they are guilty & they ignore them.

FOX 2 News had the only St. Louis TV news crew in Cape Girardeau for Chelsea Clinton's "Show-Me -- show-down" Sunday night.  

With 9 days to go until the Missouri presidential primary, Clinton's campaigning for her mother across the state.  

She kicked off her coffee shop tour at the Grace Cafe trying to win over young voters for "mom", Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.  

Chelsea Clinton seemed gracious and cordial yet feisty.  

"I'm here to answer questions," she told the crowd of about 100 people.  

She took questions for more than an hour.  When supporters of Republican candidate Ron Paul repeatedly interrupted with their chanting outside, she put down her microphone, marched outside, and confronted them face to face.

"I invited them in," she told the crowd.  "But they didn't want to come."  

She asked them to be quiet.  They did, though they kept picketing outside.  

She then picked up where she left off;  answering everything from questions about how she handles personal attacks on her parents ... to questions about her mother's plan to use the "green" energy movement to create jobs.  

"She talks about investing in alternative energy as the best way for us to do that...aggressively investing in research:  hydrogen, hydro-electric, geo-thermal, to help us kick start the upper echelon of jobs and to send a real message that the war on science is over...we have 500,000 buildings in the federal government.  If we started glazing the windows and insulating the walls and changing the light bulbs; that would help dramatically reduce the greenhouse gas.  It would also create millions of jobs."  

A young female voter asked Miss Clinton if she thought leaders of other nations would take America as seriously with a woman president.  

Clinton said in a world where the likes Margaret Thatcher and the recently assassinated former leader of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto, had risen to prominence, her mother was ready to carry the torch.

"The fact that my mom went to Beijing in 1995 and said, 'women's rights are human rights and human rights are women's rights', actually was exactly what we want out of America...I have no doubt that we'll be taken seriously as America.  In fact, I hope we'll be taken even more seriously after this administration, particularly if a Democrat wins," she said, drawing rousing applause.  

From Cape, Chelsea Clinton headed for St. Louis.

She planned to meet with UMSL students Monday, and then drop in at Kayak's coffee house near Forest Park, before to Columbia to meet with Mizzou students.  

Answer 10

unlike what your name says, Obama is a class Dem. I am glad he said it, too bad loons on answers will just ignore it and keep being idiots anyways.  

Answer 11

That was a lot nicer than what I think about the Palin family.

Answer 12

I am all for McCain/Palin 08 but Obama made a great comment which I completely agree with. Im glad that he was a big enough person to come out and say that. A persons family should not have to come under attack when they are not the ones running for president. It is just a low blow that people have to take. Which makes them seem like a lesser person. GO OBAMA for your comment.

Answer 13

Integrity? Either your stupid or naive.

Anyone could have seen this coming a mile away.

A few words doesn't change the fact it was some of his sponsored blogs making all the noise about it.
