Michelle Obama: Leave Family Out Of Politics!

Barack Obama
Sarah Palin has been getting a lot of press lately and it has not only been for her professional life but also for her personal life.

Many have been digging up family secrets from the little known Alaskan governor, now that she is running for Vice President. One of the things we’ve learned this past week is that her 17-year old daughter is pregnant.

Michelle Obama is speaking up about the media circus surrounding Republican vice president nominee Sarah Palin and her family. When it comes to politics, both her and Barack agree—leave family out of it!

"I know that they care about their kids, and we should let them deal with this issue," Michelle Obama told Ellen Degeneres on the show scheduled to air Monday. "This shouldn't be an issue for political discussion."

She has a great point! We knew so little about Sarah Palin because everyone was concentrating on her personal life rather than her political views and what she is ready to do for our country. Do you guys think bringing up family issues is unfair or is it all part of the game?

From a democratic POV, yes we should leave family out of it. However, the GOP is the party that labelled the term "family values", and now, ironically, we see that is no longer an issue for them. Just confirms what hypocrites republicans are.

No, sorry. You are now a public figure. In fact, you are a politician whose political party is based on everything that is against what is going on with her daughter. Stop being hypocritical (let's not imagine what sort of garbage would be going down if one of the Obama's children [if they were 17] were pregnant....), stop crying wolf, and play the game you invented.

the media likes to pretend that they are innocently seeking information about palin to pass on to their viewership. but what have we really learned about palin that ACTUALLY affects US?? i know its a cute little political talking point to try to tie this to republican family values, but at the end of the day everybody really knows that this is a diversion, a tacky diversion at that. and it has no place in intelligent political debate. sad to see what our "objective, fact-finding" media has come to.

FYI
AE: what are you talking about? How is the republican party against everything that is going on w/her daughter? Palin is anti-abortion... her daughter is pregnant at 17 and IS NOT having an ABORTION!? She's actually having the child. Next time you have something to say, atleast make sense!

Her 17 yr. old daughter is pregnant out of wedlock goes against the Republicans "family values" and no sex education being funded in schools because they want to promote abstinence only and teach sex education in your homes. Thats why it makes sense.
