The Stand up guy of the year goes to Barack Obama!!!! The way Barack stood up for Parlin about her family was great. I wonder if the shoe was on the other foot would Mccain have done the same? Here is the quota from Obama on the Parlin issue.

 “Let me be as clear as possible,” Obama said. “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.” Obama said reporters should “back off these kinds of stories” and noted that he was born to an 18-year-old mother. “How a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn’t be the topic of our politics, and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that’s off-limits.”  Just Keeping It Real.
