There has been a lot of news about Sarah Palin, the Republican Nominee for Vice President, and her pregnant 17-year-old daughter. I’m glad that Obama has come out to say that he doesn’t think it should be an issue because, after all, his mom was an unwed teenager when she was pregnant with him. I hope this is a trend that continues. I think that the election should focus on the candidates and leave out their families. For example, when talking about Joe Biden, it shouldn’t matter that he will be deployed to Iraq in October. Whatever he does with the military as Vice President should be done for the good of the troops, not because his son is in the National Guard.
